Common Symptoms

Touch ID Not Recognising Fingerprint
Fingerprint scanned and enrolled correctly during setup but iPad refuses to recognise it when unlocking or authorising Apple Pay.
Home Button Not Clicking
Physical home button has no tactile response or click when pressed — depressed or stuck but not registering input.
Touch ID Greyed Out in Settings
Touch ID option unavailable or greyed out in Settings > Face ID & Passcode — even after a restart.
Error After Previous Screen Repair
"Home button may not work with this accessory" message appearing after a third-party screen replacement.
Touch ID Fails Every Attempt
iPad prompts for passcode every single time rather than ever accepting the enrolled fingerprint — sensor returning a fail response.
Apple Pay Not Authenticating
Apple Pay at checkout fails to authenticate because Touch ID is unable to verify the enrolled fingerprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why has my iPad Touch ID stopped working?
Common causes include physical home button damage, a broken fingerprint sensor flex cable, an iOS software error, or damage introduced during a previous repair by another technician. Our free diagnostic pinpoints the cause.
Can Touch ID be repaired after a third-party screen replacement?
Sometimes. Home button damage or a severed home button flex cable during a previous screen repair is repairable. Security configuration errors introduced by an improper repair may require additional diagnostic work.
How long does iPad Touch ID repair take?
Most Touch ID and home button repairs take 45–90 minutes in our Braybrook or Spotswood store. We aim to complete same-day.
Is my data safe during Touch ID repair?
Yes. Button and sensor repairs don't affect stored data. We always recommend a current iCloud backup as a precaution before any repair.
Does fixing Touch ID also restore Apple Pay?
Yes. If Touch ID is the reason Apple Pay is failing to authenticate, restoring Touch ID functionality also restores Apple Pay.
