hi I have a problem with my iPad I think 7? IPadOS 14.4.2 and the home button is broken and my screen is unresponsive nothing works but it turns on, every time I touch it shows blue thingy I think it has switch control on, as you know my home button is broken so I cannot triple tap to disable it. so I tried to connect to iTunes but I can’t put it in recovery mode so now and idk what to do (it’s been a year and a half since it broke)
And iTunes isn’t detecting it if not in recovery

Okay
I’ll get back to you
Tried on my iPad didn’t detect it but it detected my iPhone when I tried that’s odd
I tried different usb nothing is detecting

Okay I tried a different laptop still nothing

Hmm that’s odd
So you can’t go into DFU mode?
I guess not
Well if you’re planning to use it I would get the home button fixed
shut hollow
Hm alright maybe I’ll consider that, but for now I’ll try the cheapest method haha yeah I can’t go DFU mode
