A friend of mine has just used the new shop opposite the back entrance of Mercadona, I think it is next to a clothes shop.   She was very happy with the result and the price

Not sure what is wrong with your home button but mine was starting to get unresponsive.  After a Google and YouTube search, I bought the highest % rubbing alcohol from my local chemist.  I managed to buy 96%.  By rubbing a small quality at a time, the button started to move back out and is now as good as new.  Remember to turn off the iPad before doing this.

Hope this helps.

The home button on IPads and tablets in general get a lot of use and can stick or eventually need replacing. There is a way with most tablet devices to "add" a home/navigation button directly onto the screen and therefore save the use of the actual home button. To add the on screen "home button", have a look at the following instructions, they will vary in different devices but most tablets have this function.

Enter into your "settings".
Enter into the "accessibility".
Turn on "home button".

If you have problems finding the on screen "home button" on your device, try looking at a web page like:-

Thanks for the replies will try the home fixes first but think it's to bad for that it's not just unresponsive it feels like it's come loose altogether if not will try the repairers mentioned.
