Digitizer freaks out when laid flat on the frame
Ive ran into several instances where as i come to the final step of laying the digitizer back into the frame of the unit, the digitizer all of a sudden freaks out. When i say freak out i mean, it starts pulling the screen left and right, pressing buttons and generally acting like a defective screen. The funny thing is it only acts in this manner as soon as you get into the last 10 degrees of angle when you are laying it into the frame.
The first instance i thought maybe i screwed up and pinched the cable, no biggie, i replaced it paying careful attention not to bend, pinch or twist the cable. As i laid the glass down onto the frame i made sure the cable was folding down into its little cubby and none was getting trapped between the frame and glass itself. The same thing happened! I ordered a new batch of glass and bam the problem was solved with the first piece of glass out of the new batch.
Ive done several other ipad minis between then and now, using that same batch of glass. Since that incident I practice diligence in not bending or pinching the ribbon in any way (even though I dont think i have ever really bent a cable on this particular device in such a way that would affect how it functions). But now with this last mini the digitizer is doing the exact same thing again!
Am i running into defective glass or is there something i dont know? And is it just me or are these minis the home of hardware gremlins?
Это хороший вопрос?

I'm having that same exact issue. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

Any update on this? I've experienced the exact same thing on various digitizers. Like the OP says, just the last 10%. I've placed all adhesives on the original Home Button Flex in the correct places, makes no difference. I've changed 3 different Home Flexes, still no solution.

Have any of you used Kapton tape? I haven't but I will start using to see if it will work. I heard that it will work when you put it on the edges of iPad Air screens.

I added Kapton Tape to exposed copper on the new glass but that didnt work. I found that it was the two wide strips of adhesive tape that run up from the inside of the rear case to the front bottom LCD frame - It's the tape that still connects the LCD to the rest of the iPad. I put the LCD in place, screwed it down and cut off what was now exposed - not very much at all.

Along the edge of the glass must be covered completely at the bottom where the home button is from 1 end to the other.
