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?
On many of the newer generation iPads, it’s actually normal for the display to wig out without the digitizer connected. I have experienced this myself in an iPad 7. I nicked part of the cabling for the digitizer, getting it out so I initially thought the digitizer was bad (it was) but was very confused when it did it without the digitizer connected at all. Come to find out iPads just do that. More than likely your replacement digitizer is faulty. I am curious about the home button issue, but I will have to read this in the morning when I’m not half asleep for that one. Poking though the answers forums here is FAR better for my mental health than doom scrolling Facebook before bed. But it sometimes means I’m sleepily answering things and brain no worky good.
