Home Button - not working after replacing digitizer Ipad 3

Hello,

I recently changed my digitizer on my Ipad 3rd generation A1416. LCD and digitizer both work perfectly without any issues except for the home button.

Here is what I noticed.

When I am placing the digitizer on top of the LCD, and the home button touches the pins on the charging dock, the Ipad's screen turns on and if I press the power button it takes a screenshot.

When the digitizer is pressed against the the Ipad's frame, home button does not work.

I have checked the alignement of the home button, all seems in place.

I am honestly lost here. Can't figure why would this happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Than you.

This is not my first Do it yourself digitizer screen replacement. This is my third (after changing my daughters Ipad mini digitizers and thise are working great) oh and its the same reseller of digitizers.

Regards,

Alex

Make sure to cover any gold contacts with small cutouts of electrical tape, also ensure that no flexes are being pinched when the screen is lowered.

You mean the Digitizer flex other than that I do not see anything that could get pinched when lowering the screen

Are all the gold parts on the flexes covered? I have had similar situations to yours and that was the fix.
