iPad Mini need smart cover magnet

[bnrr]

Hello, I am looking for the smart cover magnet for the ipad mini. My digitizer screen was crack and shattered and need to be replace. I ordered the replacement screen for my mini ipad which is a A1432 wifi, after successfully removing the damage screen I did not expect
any other problems, until it came to to transfer the magnets to the new screen.
I had found that the original smart cover magnet has broken into serval pieces
now I need to find and get replacement for the screen. I am seeking help from the MacRumors community if any members know how I might find new replacement. I had tried
the apple support, but have yet to hear from them, it is nearly two weeks snd waiting for a response. I have spend over three days googling over internet with no success any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you and God Blessed

The magnets themselves do not effect the functionality of the smart-cover. An ORIGINAL OEM home button flex has the proper chips on it to activate the on-off smart cover functionality.

As for the 2 magnets that hold down smart cover flap down, those are/were stuck to the inside of the OEM glass you removed. I don't honestly think that those have "broken into pieces". I briefly browsed eBay and Google for replacements of the two of them and wasn't able to find any. But, I have quite a few extra left-over and would be willing to send you some for $20.

smart magnet replacement

Hello, greati thank you for your reply to my post. I am happy and relief to hear from somone
with a replacement that I am looking for. In your post reply you mention that the smart cover magnets have no other functionality? I don't really know much about how all the parts
within the ipad mini works, but when I saw the broken pieces of magnets, and look thru the
repair and disassembly guide from a website (ifixit) it mention that the magnet from old glass
panel needs to be transfer because it is the lock and wake sensor, which I assume is an important part of the digitizer screen. I am still trying to distinguish the difference between the smart cover and the lock/wake sensor magnet, are they the same or are they different?
Well the point is I am very happy to get a reply from someone like yourself. Please let me know how I may be able to take up on your offer for the magnets. Thank you and God Bless.

I assure you you do not need the magnets to have the sleep/wake functionality work. It simply just wont hold the smart cover down if the magnets are not swapped.

The sleep/wake functionality is within a few chip on the home button flex. Likely on the replacement glass you purchased they used a cheap home button flex that did not include this (very common). When I do these repairs I literally have to swap the OEM home button flex with the cheap one the glass provides. Its just how most of the replacement part market works currently.

I am thinking your concerns currently would be to get an OEM home button flex on there instead of the magnets.
