home button and touh id not working after screen replacement

i just did a screen replacement on a ipad mini 3. Now the home button and the touch id is not working. now, before the screen replacement, i did not test the touch id to see if its working, assume its working, also the home button was very hard to use, before the screen replacement, have to press very hard for the home button to work.

i re-seat all the cable, lcd and digitizer is ok, just the home button not working, upon startup, there is a pop-up that said something about touch id not available.

Anything i can do to fix it?

anyone experience this problem?

Answer this question I have this problem too

If you did the repair yourself, make sure all of the cables are connected properly and the back cover holding the home button in place is screwed in tightly enough.

If you had replaced the home button with another, Touch ID will no longer work due to Apple's technology and only their company can fix the feature itself.
