ipad home button is burning hot while charging

I noticed something was off when a notification popped up and said, 'unable to activate touch id on this ipad'. I didn't mind it because most of my friends toud id doesn't work anymore but when I touched the home button it was burning hot even the right side of the home button was hot so I immediately unplugged the charger and a few minutes later it cooled off. Its been 2 days already and its only burning hot when I charge my ipad what should I do? Sometimes it wont coolf off even if I unplug the charger. Im svared of it exploding.8

iPad, iPadOS 14

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this may resolve the problem:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




If the problem remains unresolved, you would be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also 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:
