Power button won't put device to sleep

"Did you try to toggle the ""lock/unlock"" button under Settings>General>Lock/Unlock?

EDIT: as odd as it sounds, it is usually a bad quality digitizer (outer glass) assembly. Get a good one from a reputable seller and it will be fixed.

The home button circuit is interfacing with a circuit built into the digitizer assembly. A bad quality or defective assembly will therefore cause the power ON/OFF button to stop working."

Sorry I missed this question for a few days. This is a problem with soldering at home flex. Yes, home flex. It is common with the aftermarket digitizers. Get a new original quality digitizer and it will solve.

"Hi, i Found a solution. There is a soldring point for a sensor (near the home button or on left hand side when ipad dizitizer front side is down). when you used after market dizitizer on that there is no sensor there is blank space. so what have to do now if you can't put sensor over there, just wet your fingre little bit and clean then touch on blank soldering point, when you touch there your device will wake and sleep by touching when its wake by touching there then just go to setting > screen brightness > then only option will come for (power button) (Lock/Unlock) by on/off that your ipad mini power button will work start again as it was working before. but don't update it without backup other wise you have to do this again. Thanks, If you don't understand anything by this post you can contact me or ask me here.

Thanks

"Hello Everyone, It's an issue only with Flex. Because that sensor is on only the part who detects the Flip cover and if sensor is not on flex then obvious On/off Function will not shown up on the screen in settings.

It's work like if Your Computer has wificard or any other device then it's only shown at Device manager because computer knows that There is a device attached to me if not then computer not gona show anything.

Same as there if sensor is there then it's shown otherwise you have to Decompressed or Short a Sensory memory Supply. So system will Show on/off button

Thanks. This is genuine Way and easiest. If you find other please Share."

need to change home button flex cable or resold will be fine 100%

"Hey I've been having the same problem, the strange thing is as soon as my power button started not to work my home button also did not work, is this normal? And how do I fix?
