Lock button not working after screen replacement

Lock button not working after screen replacement

I recently replaced an Ipad 2 screen and noticed the power/sleep/wake button allows me to power down the Ipad, but I am not able to put it in sleep/standby mode. I was able to do a reset by holding down the home and power button, but no luck putting the Ipad in standby mode. Because I am able to power down, doesn't that mean the button is actually working? Is there something in the software that recognizes it has a single click versus a hold down? I tried restoring via itunes with no luck either. I am right now relying on the auto lock feature to put it in sleep mode, but was curious if anyone had seen this issue before. The iPad won't even go to lock screen through assistive touch.

"jessabethany I'm having the same problem with an ipad 2 replaced the screen en power and volume cable's. The power button is only working when you turn the divice on or off, locking the screen issent possible olso tried by assistive touch, it won't work... Can you please help me finding an answer to this problem ?

p.s. Another strange issue is when the divece is turned on, the apple logo come's on and normally after the apple logo desepears you automatticly see the startscreen, in this case the screen stays black after the apple logo desepears untill you push the home button, could this issue have to do with te powerbutton problem ?

I was working on an ipad mini with the same problem today. I opened it up and cover all the components on the home flex cable. that solved the problem.

you open your ipad take off the digitizer and use the smart cover and it will lock and the turn off on will come and reconnect it set it off and you ipad will lock with button not with cover hopes it helps you ;3
