I broke my Apple iPad Mini Bluetooth Antenna Flex Cable now what?
This is located on the lower, right hand side of your device next to the home button. This antenna controls the syncing of other devices and accessories to your iPad Mini. Unlike other iPads, the Mini splits its Bluetooth and WiFi functions between 2 antennas. The WiFi antenna is located on the left side of your device. If your iPad Mini will not connect to a wireless internet signal, you may need to replace both this bluetooth antenna, and your WiFi antenna on the other side of your home button.
