picture So im repairing my iPad 5 rn and i saw this little plastic ring around my homebutton, i decided to remove it as its just a piece of rubber and plastic, but maybe it served a purpose? lol. Does anyone know if this is bad or can i continue?
This, teh left (rubber was first atteched to the back of the plastic one and surrounded the homebutton together.)
Is this a good question?

If you mean the gasket? Then you will likely need this. It helps to mount the button to the display and stabilize it. It also provides some very minimal protection against liquid entry.

Hi
From what the photos show that is a gasket
This isn’t necessarily needed but it helps keep dirt out
You could use some light adhesive on it or order a new one
But as I said your iPad should work without it but it’s recommended that it’s there
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks :-)
