I have a 2015 1st gen screen and an absolutely smashed 2nd gen screen I took out. I did not notice until I started that the home buttons cable was way to short on the replacement screen which was a 1st gen. I was wondering if its possible to just put on a 2015 home button and reconnect it to the body of the iPad
have you removed the broke screen yet? if so lay them side by side and see if the ribbon cables match up. if so there is a possibility. but knowing how apple hardware locks stuff id venture to say probably not.
