Repaired digitizer, and now the iPad won't turn on.

Hi, everyone.

So i replaced the digitizers on two iPad mini 3's. One was just a mini 3 , and the other was the kind with the finger print. The fingerprint version is up and running with no issues, the regular mini 3 will not boot up however. This is not a darkened LCD issue. the unit will not power up or charge, and doesn't show up when attached to my laptop. i have left the battery unplugged for over 5 minutes and tried everything i can think of to no avail. hoping someone has some trouble shooting tips to help me out. i do have a multi meter so checking values on components shouldn't be too difficult. i just don't know where to look, or what to look for. thanks in advanced for any help

best regards, Tim Misnik

Don't not all minis have fingerprint id? Hopefully it's not sealed up, retrace your steps, unplug and plug everything back in. When I have trouble I will even put the cracked screen on to test functions.
