Chosen Solution
Hello, I am the owner of an iPad Air (5th generation). 6 months ago I cracked the screen, and I successfully replaced the digitizer. One month ago I started experiencing the “ghost” touches issue. Today, I decided to open everything to check if something was wrong with the cables, so I disassembled the screen and digitizer and assembled everything again. To my surprise the digitizer stopped working completely. Sometimes it goes crazy when I touch the lateral flex cable which folds on itself, others it reacts as if I was slightly swiping the home screen to the right when the screen is locked. Therefore I suspect there is something wrong here (with the bottom left lateral flex cable which is folded on itself). Have I damaged the digitizer ? Is there any possible way on how can I solved this? Thanks a lot in advance
Exactly the same problem here - same history of event even - I changed 3 different screens from 3 different suppliers which were till today all working perfectly well on other iPads. For some strange reason this all happened after IOS 9.0 and even worse after latest update. Because Touch screen is not responsive I can’t switch off my iPad completely - even with combination Home-Start button for few seconds all I can do is Restart. I will have to probably remove Motherboard in order to disconnect battery and try Factory restore. Problem is…as I read … almost the same as famous Error 54 - you have to have original Home button ( if you are lucky) and your chances to solve the problem are close to 80%. Good luck and please let us know about the progress in the future.
