My iPad would sometimes sporadically ghost touch the screen during use. After searching I tried following the advice on Digitizer activating itself after digitiser replacement. Unfortunately it seemed to make things worse with the screen now very frequently ghost touching. I also must have not put the home button back on correctly as it won’t click when pressed like normal. I put Kapton tape on the edges of the digitizer and then replaced the adhesive pads. I didn’t remove the LCD panel so a small part of one of the adhesive pads had to go over the cable connecting the digitizer to the LCD but it didn’t look like that would cause an issue. Did I put too much tape on? Is there something else I should have been watching for that could cause worse ghosting? Thanks for the help!
Was the ghost touch happening on an Apple original, non-repaired iPad digitizer or did it start occurring after a repair? Low cost digitizers suffer from ghost touching, even with tape applied so this could explain your issue if the screen was ever replaced in the pats. If the digitizer is original, then tape shouldn’t be necessary and it is possible that the panel is simply just defective. Now if this device was ever repaired, dropped or came into contact with water, then there could be other issues but I’ll wait for your feedback on that.

My iPad Pro has been suffering from ghost clicks. No amount of resetting would fix it. It wasn’t random, but always on the left side, where the lightning port is. Thrn I read a posting elsewhere that described how they had a similar problem that only happened when they used it while charging. So I gave it a go. Sure enough, no problems when not charging. So I tried swapping the (third party) charging cable. The problem seems to be cured.
I just posted on an ipad4 topic what worked for me. Counter-intuitive solution! But there seems to be lots of causes for ghost touches on ipads. “Ghost touching after digitizer replacement”
