Home button repair and reassembly?

Block Image

I have the original home button from a ipad Pro 10.5 which I need to fix onto the new screen, however not sure what needs adhesive tape applied to it.

I know the home button bracket needs tape applied to either side but do the following also need it?

  • Does the rubber gasket need tape applied to it to fix the white plastic ring?
  • Does the plastic ring need tape fitted to it so it sticks to the glass?
Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I put adhesive on the ring and usually the gasket around the home button will keep it in place. Once the iPad is closed the space behind the home button keeps it in place unless there is some structural issues with the iPad or the gasket.

Thanks for replying... can i use adhesive tape as the adhesive both on the ring and rubber gasket?

Sorry for the late reply. No, just the ring. The gasket will usually stay in place with the help of the bracket that goes on the back of the button.
