At first, the LCD turned on as normal, the home button worked, but the digitizer gave me nothing.

Then, after fumbling a bit, trying reconnecting both, the LCD started turning on then immediately off every time I rebooted the iPad holding both the home and lock buttons for a few seconds.

The screen only got to showing the Apple logo for a bit, then going black, including the backlight.

The iPad stayed on as it made the charging sound, and got picked up in iTunes.

I thought I had killed the display, but no, the old one also did the same thing when I tested it.

So what could be the issue here? thanks

After update to iOS 12, the display does not work anymore.

If one tries a hard reset the display works until is on but after having switching off the iPad the same situation appears again: the display is black (actually one can see the back light on but nothing else) and after an hard reset is working only until the iPad is switched on, when it goes in sleep or it is switched manually off, then it is not possible to switch the display on again (always only the back light is on).

Further, the display has now a big spot which is more black than the rest when the display is off and more white/bright of the rest when the display is on.

Anyone has an idea of what is the problem?

Thanks

after the glass and screen replacement (they work both well) on my ipad mini 3 LTE, i've a problem with the original home button (i've token the old home button to put it on the new glass);

The button doesn't work well; it reads my finger print to unlock with fingerprint, but it's locked as it's always pushed and is not possible to push and use it.

I've tried the calibration but without solving.

can you help me?

I lost the small black Home Button Gasket adhesive Ring that seats between the Home button and Digitizer. It's pretty much a spacer. I tried to make one out of a notecard (failed), and then card stock paper with neither working to my liking. It always left too much wiggle room and the button was loose and moving around, but it definitely helped!

I also noticed the home button only "clicks" when the top half of the button is pressed. If I were to say "get a bad hold on the iPad" and only click the bottom half of the home button while using it, it would either not click, or barely click enough to register with the device. I have tried re-shaping the bracket a few times slightly hoping to create less or more wiggle room when needed, and each time I do the problem seemed to get worse to where the bracket doesn't even really seem to hold the button in place unless positioned perfectly and held in with adhesive.

I want to replace the home button O-ring Gasket but the only problem is most seem to be overseas or located states away. Aside from buying one which seems to be my obvious solution, would getting a new home button bracket, and the small gasket fix my problem of having a loose home button for those of you with more experience than I?

Additionally, would it be easier to purchase a fully assembled display assembly from somewhere and just replace their included home button with my original cable (to preserve TouchID)? I just hope they include that O-Ring gasket I need. Only reason this is more convenient is because I have opened this iPad so many times the adhesive on this new screen has dried up and each time I re-install it, it doesn't want to always stay put. Corners slowly start to lift and such. Dirt also gets under the screen and it's very hard to clean every time if I get fingerprints.
