Chosen Solution
So, a few months ago my iPad’s front screen was shattered, and also came off. I was very annoyed, and since I was in an agitated state, I peeled the middle section off, leaving glass on the inner edge of the screen. My father and I recently sat down with an iFixit replacement kit and repaired the screen. However, I could not recall where the previous home button was, but I am just going to use guided access until then. I wondering what needed replacing, where I’d get the part(s), and if I need to buy adhesive and open the screen again. (I currently have a piece of foam taped over the empty spot, just to keep it covered.
Yes. You’ll have to apply new adhesive, if you take the new display off. Yeah, I would put the home button on, and then center the home button cable and ribbon over the hole on the new glass digitizer Here’s a guide, just in case. You shouldn’t need to buy a new one, just play with how to install the old one iPad Air Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement
