Is the issue with click-action of the button - or instead difficulty with TouchID? Something else?


If you are experiencing difficulties with any physical buttons of your iPad, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:

It is a common misconception that an iPad (or iPhone) can remain fully functional with damaged or defective physical buttons. 


Whilst Accessibility features (such as assistive touch) can be used to augment the User Interface, these features cannot be used as a substitute for physical button sequences that must be used to trigger system recovery actions. If physical buttons of your iPad are inoperable, sooner or later, you will encounter a situation from which you cannot recover.
