iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Pinout of Home Button Connector? iPad 8 Wifi, torn pads

Mon, 22 May 2023 13:42:25 -0700

I have a iPad 8 and some monster pulled a few pads off trying to replace home button zif connector. I started scraping to see if I can follow the traces. They are not clearly seen through the mask like I see some show.

Didn't want to start tearing all the mask off, and figure someone has seen this. Do we know where these traces go to ? Does it even use all the traces? iPad 8 seems to be the only ipad I don't have info on. Here is a pic of what I have under the microscope.

Thanks in advance !

Oh my bad, it's a A2270

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: An unusual case of non-functionality

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 07:54:51 -0700

Please help! I have asked before and tried a few different things.

I have an iPad 8th gen. I replaced the screen and the home button failed. Whilst I couldn’t see any damage to the cable I half expected the issue.

2 days after, the iPad starting ghost touching. It disabled itself and would do crazy stuff. I assumed a simple solution of covering the surrounding on the interior of the screen. This had no affect so I ordered a new screen. It still never worked!

I looked a bit further into it and discovered the iPad does this even with no digitiser connected. This was strange!?

I somehow managed to get it to work by turning it on, then connecting the digitiser and finally the LCD. However, it suddenly stopped working again. I have tried doing the same thing but it will not work. Any suggestions?

I was trying to replace the screen on this iPad know it’s testing it before I filled it up and it was randomly clicking things so then I unplugged it to swap back to the original screen, and it still clicked things. It’s the same spot that it’s clicking I can get over it by rotating the iPad.

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Can't Set Up Touch ID After Screen Replacement

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 21:26:17 -0700

I replaced a shattered screen for a coworker's iPad 8. I pulled the old home button and reinstalled it on the new screen. It functionally works, but I got an error message that Touch ID can't be set up. When I go to add a fingerprint, screen shows "FAILED Unable to compete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try again." Is this simply an Apple ID issue, or do you think the home button was damaged? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Battery connector crackling, apple logo flashes and dissapears

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:17:35 -0700

Hello,

As stated in the title, I've opened my Ipad because screen went black but still made sound when charger was plugged, I shined some light with flashlight but there was still no screen, opened it without a problem, detached and reattached the connector on the back of the screen and now apple logo appears for 0.7-0.8s and then screen goes black and battery connector makes crackling noise, i removed the motherboard, inspected the battery connector and it's all good. Does anybody know what's going on? How can i troubleshoot or isolate the problem?

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: screen wont turn on, still hear alarm, wont connect to itunes

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 17:46:17 -0700

ok little backstory for clarification: basically about a year by now, i dropped the ipad on my basement floor, wasnt a far drop at all, but when it dropped, it developed dots on the right side i believe, the dots were lighter than the rest of the screen, but the ipad still worked good, wasnt much wrong w it. this happened twice, first time, the dots faded within about a month, then happened a second time and the dots stayed since. about a few months back (march), it just randomly wouldnt turn on (the screen at least), i gave up then but im coming back to it now, i still hear my alarm, but at a low volume. when i try to turn it up, the alarm just turns off. and it will not connect to itunes, it doesnt even register to my computer in GENERAL. i feel like it charges but im really not sure because i was on silent mode before it stopped working so i cant hear the charging sound. do it need a repair or is there something i can do on my own?

The iPad model number is MYLE2LL/A

Is this even worth repairing? or would it just be easier to get a tad bit of money to trade it in for 10th gen?

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Touch ID not working after screen replacement

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 04:06:02 -0700

I bought the digitizer kit from Ifixit and followed the steps closely to complete the repair. I swapped the original home button over but now Touch ID isn’t working. I was careful with the ribbon cable so I’m not sure what could be causing the issue. Bluetooth also appears to not be working.

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Can I swap an iPad-7 WiFi housing for iPad-8 WiFi housing?

Sat, 22 Apr 2023 04:20:54 -0700

Hi It maybe a confusioning question.

I have iPad-7 WiFi 32GB and an iPad-7 cellular 32GB but has a motherboard issue so it’s not working but has a perfect housing not bent

Also I have iPad-8 128GB WiFi working fine but housing is badly broken so there is water ripple on the screen. I have tried to bending back still water ripple on the screen

Do you guys think I took out of the mainboard from iPad-8 to put the board into the iPad-7 housing?

Do you guys think the it’s the same housing between the iPad-7 and iPad-8? also cellular as well?

plz let me know thank you

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Touch ID works but home button doesn’t work.

The touch ID still unlocks the phone but the home button just doesn’t function. The screen/digitizer is cracked and damaged pretty badly but it still worked before. I have opened up the iPad before because the adhesive is loose. It had been repaired for 3 times before for a cracked screen.

I have an iPad 8 that is iCloud locked to my old account that they randomly deleted, and it is extremely cracked, and it’s o only 32gb and stuck on iOS 26 so you can’t do anything on it and I was wondering if the iPad 9 logic board fits in the 8th gen housing because I think they’re really the same size.

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Ipad stuck on charging icon

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:44:49 -0700

I dropped my iPad a few years ago, which caused the screen to lift. I can easily lift the screen but it doesn't seem to affect the ipad turning on itself. Today, I plugged it in, but it's stuck on the charging battery logo, and I can't even force reset it. I'm wondering if the drop caused it to do this.
