Iv been repairing iPads and iPhones for a while now . When i taught my self I remember breaking many iPads. You give clear instructions and sometimes it’s nice to come back to this vid to just remember what I’m doing . Great repair overall
Thank you very much! Thanks to your video I just fix my daughter’s iPad. Now she can take her classes, homework, and video chats with no problems! God bless you!
That’s so awesome great job, 90% of these iPads are the same so you got that in your back pocket if it happens again or someone’s else’s does. Thank you
Hey from Redhill, Surrey, England. I've just replaced an ipad 2 mini screen with the amazing help of your tutorial. It turned out perfect. Only silly thing, was i got quite a few finger prints on the LCD screen, which took alot of care to remove. I would definitely recommend latex gloves for this task. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you very much Tim for posting this video. My autistic son broke his ipad 2 mini screen that he uses for school with the speech app he needs to communicate and I didn't have the money to replace it with a new one. After buying a replacement screen kit from Amazon for $19.99 I followed your very clear and super helpful instructions just pausing it at every stage while I took my time. I did magnetise a screwdriver which helped enormously when putting the screws back in and I used my hairdryer which really made a difference getting the glass off. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video you have helped so many people by doing so and a huge high five from my son as he is up and running again :) :) :)
That is so awesome, I really appreciate the comment. I’m sure your son is happy you got it fixed for him. If it happens again you will know what to do .. I hope it doesn’t but great job on your part
Just fixed my kid's Ipad mini for under $18 for materials from Amazon and all thanks to your very well explained video this mama managed to get it done!
Thank you for helping me replace my cracked screen!! Harder and easier than I thought. I was terrified for most of it, but with you help it is all fixed. THANK YOU!!!
I change my iPad mini 2 touchscreen last night, thanks to you and few others TH-camrs! here is from my experience: -if you get fingerprints on the LCD, you can remove it by rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth (or at least tissue), then gently wipe the LCD. it won't be the same, but almost unnoticeable -BE CAREFUL of scratching your LCD when opening the screen! I scratch mine, but it is still working properly, albeit you can see the scratch -be mindful of your screws. I lost two of them, but they still work properly. I found them later on after I put the glue on, and too lazy to reopen it lol. hopefully, it won't be a problem
Finally someone who can speak english and not some indian filming on a phone who i cannot understand, i used a suction cup puller to help me get off the screen it really helped
It was a little late for me, but thanks for taking the time to mention cutting the tape at the bottom of the screen in order to flip the lcd, at least 2 other disassembly videos skipped that crucial part, ended up cracking my lcd, but i was able to recover the data I needed off of it.
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Jericho Casey thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
my screen replacement kit is coming on the 14 and this video made me feel less nervous about the whole process, definitely going to re watch it then :)
Most important thing is just take your time and be gentle it’s not hard. Every time I made a mistake I was rushing or used to much force, electronics are fragile espically once you start to open them.you can do it
Thank you so much for posting the video I have an iPad mini 2 a 1490 and my kids broke the screen so I ordered a digitizer followed your instructions to the tea got all the way to testing it out and realized that the LCD was also damaged in the fall so now I have to order an LCD and hopefully that will take care of the problem but I really enjoyed your video and the fact that I was able to follow along with replacing the screen and will finish when the new LCD arrives
That’s so awesome! If you run into a problem let me know I’ll try to help but I’m sure when you replace the lcd it will be like new, gadgetfix.com has some really awesome prices and screens
Tried following a different video but it wasn't quite right, wrong number of screws, thought I was going to break the LCD screen. This one was perfect, even naming the model numbers, showed the stage I was struggling with, I just needed to peel back the two stickers. Really handy, thanks for making it.
I just want to give you a Giant Thank you for showing how to replace both screens on a mini ipad i just followed your video step by step and i just repaired my son's mini ipad it starts right up and i played with it and it just looks brand new Thank you again
🤘🏻😄 This is awesome! I fixed my by following your instructions. Thank you so much! By the way, side magnet 🧲 is pretty strong. I had trouble to get the small screws out, so I just left in there. But it still work so far.
Thank you for doing this video. I kept listening to it as I went thru these steps mostly because of the soothing, calming voice. Tips: separate your screws by size or job if you're a beginner. Could you maybe run thru the tools by name and identify them for slower people (me). Also, i had dented one of my corners,too. I saw another video on this topic (but his voice wasn't comforting) but he said try a small flathead screwdriver and gently pry the dent out. I did. Miracles ensued! I am posting this vid on my FB page (if that's ok?) Thanks Again!, Cherie
Absolutely and yes I will definitely, do all of it on the next one thank you so much for your feedback. Not a big fan of using the screwdriver on corners but sometimes that’s your only option
Great video Thanks helped me perfectly every step also I used the extra tape which other videos don’t recommend. Pretty easy fix when you take your time .
Great video. I like how you sped the video up and went back and narrated. Made for a quicker and more concise video. Some links for parts would be helpful. Like the tape as well as preferred dealers for screens and digitizer.
Thank You !! Felt a bit intimidated at first, but by being careful & slow, all worked out perfectly!.... Darn those tiny little screws though! All is perfect now!....Except, if I could upgrade 15 operating system. Ha ! Cheers! Thank you again.
Thanks man... those two pieces of tape on the lcd screen... brah... nothing about em’ in the instruction sheet... that would have cost me my lcd. Chris from fresno Ca... giggity giggity.👍
Hi Tim, Thanks for the video. Unfortunately something happened and LCD is not working now. I have followed step by step, the only step I mixed up was unplugging the LCD before the battery, apart from that, I did all the same. Any ideas why it's not turning on? I have checked the 3 connectors 100 times. Thanks again.
Thanks I was successful to replace shattered screen of ipad mini 2 for 20 bucks and 2 hours of my time that local fix guys asked for 199. My job was not perfect but now i can use ipad again that I almost gave up on.
Ugh. Bought new battery and digitizer and followed the vid. I was extremely careful with the lcd and removed it like you showed. It had no damage. When I put everything back together, I don’t have any LCD backlight. 1) yes, I powered it off before working on it. 2) yes, I checked and reseated all the cables multiple times. 3) yes, I checked the pins and sockets and all are good. 4) when I plug in the charger, it makes the ding sound. 5) superbright led flashlight shows LCD works with no backlight. 6) Seeing a lot of comments for similar problem, I think cutting the digitizer cable short circuited something and damaged the lcd. Recommend not cutting the cable and just waiting to take it off with the LCD. Now, if I get a replacement LCD, no guarantee it will work because the display chip may have gotten fried. Out $65 to need to spend more money for “maybe”. Highly recommend NOT cutting the digitizer cable. It’s a gamble. This video calls out to not even disconnect the digitizer or lcd cable until the battery cable is disconnected. th-cam.com/video/q9ecsL2Q_hE/w-d-xo.html Everything else is spot on.
Got you ....ive never had a problem done it on literally 100’s of iPads maybe I just got lucky. Sounds like yes you shorted something out. The tools you used were they a set you bought if Amazon gotta be careful on touching tools to other components in phone also have you tried a hard reset on the iPad... I would definitely try a hard reset hold own the home and power button for like a min... Also hold a flashlight up to the screen after you tap the power button sometimes the screen will go extremely dim and you have to use a flashlight to see the screen and turn up the brightness try that and see if that’s helps ive just never had a problem before cutting the digitizer I always like to check all options hopefully it’s just super dim it just needs a rest plz let me know before you try to get a new lcd
Is there a way to tell before you disassemble the entire iPad if the LCD screen is broken as well? After I replace the digitizer I learned that the LCD was cracked and was not showing a picture and during disassemble the LCD did not bend or crack I was very gentle. This was damage done by the fall
Sometimes it sucks, depending on how danger the screen is just be careful and go slow keep heating and prying take breaks if you need to just don’t rush it or apply to much heat on the land for very long. But you can do it
Good afternoon! I only have my iPad for home use. Might use it 2 or 3 times a week.. Do I really have to get the tape if this is the only thing I am fixing?
No you don’t just press it down around the edges very well, and put a case on it to help hold it in place. I’ve done a few where I have only used the adhesive on the screen and it’s worked but tape+adhesive has worked best for me but you should be fine
for anyone attempting this, make sure your replacement screen has the sleep/wake sensor. i think it's integrated into the screen cable, then solder points, and goes to the home button.
I’ve replaced the digitizer, but still no luck recognizing touch. I’ve tried re-seating the cables 3-4 times, but no change. It’s a 1489 that literally fell from standing on its side to falling over on the screen. No visible damage to previous digitizer or lcd. Please let me know if you can think of anything else to check.
Tim, I just replaced the digitizer for A1432 and the LCD is just getting white lines... it was working before I took the bad screen off. did this ever happen to you? any explanation?
Where did you get your replacement screen from? I used one I got off Amazon with a sleep connection and the screen seemed to work, but not the home button. I tried readjusting like you said, but the home button still wasn't responding. I tried to install the old screen back, but I'm afraid the touch pad is too damaged after I took it off (the home button still worked though). I went ahead and purchased a different replacement digitizer without the sleep connection, so I'm hoping it will work.
I would do the same just to make sure tans if it works seee if you can send the other back, it sometimes a hard to tell if you don’t have multiple working screens what the real problem is
Great video thanks for sharing. My problem is that it didn't fire up but pushing the power and home worked however I have a series of vertical multi colored lines about an inch wide on one side. Does that mean the LCD is SHOT? Thanks for your expertise.
So I fixed the screen, when I turned it on it had red and green light on the left side of the iPad. Now it’s pitch black but when I plug it in, you can hear the charging sound. Do I have to replace lcd now too or just replace digitiser again because with new replacement turned out to be faulty ??
Well if you can’t see the lcd then it might be bad, I would turn your phones flashlight up to the screen sometimes the brightness gets turned down 100% and you can’t see it unless you put a flashlight up to it the lcd should be showing something if it’s pitch black try the flashlight method
Good morning, Tim. I replaced a screen last night at the fire department, and when I checked to make sure it worked after connecting the LCD and digitizer, I had a thick white bar from top to bottom. It came on, but that bar of death was there. Do you know how that may have happened? I thought I was very careful. Thanks✊🏾✊🏾
Unfortunately I would say the screen is bad, but I have seen before where the brightness gets turned down so low hold a flashlight up to your phone and see if you can make anything. I’ve had this happen to me before just push the button to activate the Home Screen
The actual lcd I would only use a microfiber cloth. I have dropped glue on the lcd before and used a sticker remover pen and it actually worked and did not harm the lcd but had to cover the entire lcd with the pen. But that was a worst case senario
Good video buddy...Could you tell me or show me the final position of the touch flex when you attach the touch to the ipad? it is just because I tried to replace mine and screwed up the flex when I attached the touch to the ipad so I do not know if maybe that flex was too large..would you recomend any provider in amazon or ebay which sells good quality touch? thanks in advance
Most you do not, the touch ones you do if you wanna keep finger print 90% of the people that I’ve fixed for do not care and it’s easier to order with home button. If your really into the fingerprint scanner than yes you gotta
I usually get a small file and scrape the dented area out so that screen will sit flush. With that breach in the adhesive, screen is more likely to work it's way open.(especially with young children)
Thanks for tutorial, it helped quite a bit. One suggestion I have is maybe at important or crucial/delicate parts maybe slow down the video to normal speed and go through it as normal, explaining more step by step, as had to pause the video quite a bit in those parts. Over all good video and thank, hope you have a great day, and keep being awesome
Your absolutely right, gonna do that on the next one. Sometimes I take for granted that this is possibly the first time some are doing this. I really appreciate that. Thank you Robby
@@elitesportsmedia np😊 Thanks for hearing out my advice as well. Btw do you think you'd be doing a Samsung s8 curved screen placement any time soon? Just got a samsung s8 but the screen is a bit cracked so wanting to see if I can replace it, or if it be better getting someone else to do it. Cheers and hope you have a great day, keep fixing and keep being awesome and being you✌
This is a great tutorial and I fixed my iPad mini just fine with this! The screen is kinda loose after putting it back in and I’m scared it’s going to fall out. Any suggestions on how to tighten it up?
Double sided tape, is the best option, you might have to warm it up again and re lay the tap make sure you get all the old tape off so it makes a secure hold to the iPad frame
Tim Wetzel Lol well it gets even better, after fixing the tape issue I ripped the ribbon that attaches from the screen so I have to order a new screen now lol😑
Great video! I successfully repaired my iPad screen. One thing you might want to mention are the “Smart Cover magnets”. I had to look up another page to see where those go since they came off with the broken screen removal. Again, thank you for this excellent video.

This is awesome! I fixed my old iPad which was sitting for almost an year. Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. 😀

I tried all the other videos but yours was the best. Replaced the battery and digitiser and it works. Thanks!
You just mad my day thank you !!! It been a rough day I needed that glad it helped .
Worked like a charm! Thank you for such detailed walkthrough with useful insights.
Awesome !!! Thanks so much for the comments
Video worked great for me. The tip about the tape on the lcd really helped. I would have really struggled otherwise and probably broken the lcd
Really appreciate that thank you
Thank you for this video, i had done a repair on one and wish i saw this video first. Now i know a better way to repair an ipad mini
Just used to replace screen on A1432. Worked great! Thank you!
I change my iPad mini 2 touchscreen last night, thanks to you and few others TH-camrs!
here is from my experience:
-if
you get fingerprints on the LCD, you can remove it by rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth (or at least tissue), then gently wipe the LCD. it
won't be the same, but almost unnoticeable
-BE CAREFUL of scratching your LCD when opening the screen! I scratch mine, but it is still
working properly, albeit you can see the scratch
-be mindful of your screws. I lost two of them, but they still work properly. I found them later on after I put the glue on, and too lazy to reopen it lol.
hopefully, it won't be a problem
Awesome tips thank you
Finally someone who can speak english and not some indian filming on a phone who i cannot understand, i used a suction cup puller to help me get off the screen it really helped
Awesome I use to use a suction cup, I usally just forget about it 🤦♂️ but as you know it’s very beneficial
It was a little late for me, but thanks for taking the time to mention cutting the tape at the bottom of the screen in order to flip the lcd, at least 2 other disassembly videos skipped that crucial part, ended up cracking my lcd, but i was able to recover the data I needed off of it.

Just a tip, when the edges are bent, you can use a razor to carve out the track around the edge where the digi sits. It's soft aluminum.
Nice

Lol that’s what happens once you get the hang of it
you deserve a sub!
Great video. I'd recommend putting the screws in small cups to avoid accidentally dragging the ipad over them, and scratching the unit.
Right on !!! Thanks
or use a segmented container to store your screws by size
Top right screw (by the power button) was the longer lcd screw on my a1489
First time watching your vids. Have you ever seen those iPad corner repair kits?
put some tape over the cracks before you begin to ease broken glass removal
You are a genius. Thank you.
bernynhel I have a cracked screen on my iPad and im afraid to remove the screen cause it will break the glass? Any solutions how
Arghhh GODBLESS U Bro!!!!!!!! Having hardtime prying d broken glass!!!! :)
Sometimes it sucks, depending on how danger the screen is just be careful and go slow keep heating and prying take breaks if you need to just don’t rush it or apply to much heat on the land for very long. But you can do it
Danger=damaged
Hey can you still tap on the lcd without the screen on? I got a cracked screen but it’s not touch responsive
Just perfect, thank you thank you thank you
Yes glad it worked for you
your a life saver
Haha awesome glad it worked
Good afternoon!
I only have my iPad for home use. Might use it 2 or 3 times a week.. Do I really have to get the tape if this is the only thing I am fixing?
No you don’t just press it down around the edges very well, and put a case on it to help hold it in place. I’ve done a few where I have only used the adhesive on the screen and it’s worked but tape+adhesive has worked best for me but you should be fine
Watching this and think I’ve got the skills to do this my self. Wish me luck new screen in hand and ready to go........
I wish you good luck
How did it go?:0

How did it go?
were do you get the tape from and what size is it please
for anyone attempting this, make sure your replacement screen has the sleep/wake sensor. i think it's integrated into the screen cable, then solder points, and goes to the home button.
Do I have to back up the iPad first? Or will it be fine, pretty sure it will because it's just the screen but just want to make sure
Yep you don’t have to
I’ve replaced the digitizer, but still no luck recognizing touch. I’ve tried re-seating the cables 3-4 times, but no change. It’s a 1489 that literally fell from standing on its side to falling over on the screen. No visible damage to previous digitizer or lcd. Please let me know if you can think of anything else to check.
I’m going to fix mine, any screen I could get on amazon that you recommend? I don’t really know where to get it and I don’t live in the US
I recommend gadgetfix.com,
But as long as the seller has good reviews it should be fine. If you send me the model number I will send you a link
Thank you
Tim, I just replaced the digitizer for A1432 and the LCD is just getting white lines... it was working before I took the bad screen off. did this ever happen to you? any explanation?
Muchas gracias 🙏
You are great 👍
Hey I'm new here I have a quick question what's the name brand and type of adhesive tape you used dimensions in particular?
amzn.to/3hLzQml
This is the one one I’ve been using great perfect size to get in small spaces
Where did you get your replacement screen from? I used one I got off Amazon with a sleep connection and the screen seemed to work, but not the home button. I tried readjusting like you said, but the home button still wasn't responding. I tried to install the old screen back, but I'm afraid the touch pad is too damaged after I took it off (the home button still worked though). I went ahead and purchased a different replacement digitizer without the sleep connection, so I'm hoping it will work.
I would do the same just to make sure tans if it works seee if you can send the other back, it sometimes a hard to tell if you don’t have multiple working screens what the real problem is
@@elitesportsmedia hi , could please share link where to buy it , thanks
Where can I I get this tape that you use on top and bottom of the screen?
Great video thanks for sharing. My problem is that it didn't fire up but pushing the power and home worked however I have a series of vertical multi colored lines about an inch wide on one side. Does that mean the LCD is SHOT? Thanks for your expertise.
It’s damaged it should still work, but if you want the lines to go away will need a new Lcd if you send me model number I can send a link for lcd
Thanks for reaching out. It's an A1489

So I fixed the screen, when I turned it on it had red and green light on the left side of the iPad. Now it’s pitch black but when I plug it in, you can hear the charging sound. Do I have to replace lcd now too or just replace digitiser again because with new replacement turned out to be faulty ??
Well if you can’t see the lcd then it might be bad, I would turn your phones flashlight up to the screen sometimes the brightness gets turned down 100% and you can’t see it unless you put a flashlight up to it the lcd should be showing something if it’s pitch black try the flashlight method
Es el mismo display para iPad mini 3 verdad?
Good morning, Tim. I replaced a screen last night at the fire department, and when I checked to make sure it worked after connecting the LCD and digitizer, I had a thick white bar from top to bottom. It came on, but that bar of death was there. Do you know how that may have happened? I thought I was very careful. Thanks✊🏾✊🏾
Hi Tim, any suggestions if the screen doesnt come back on and I ensured all 3 connections are good, but we heard a notification come through?! Haha
Unfortunately I would say the screen is bad, but I have seen before where the brightness gets turned down so low hold a flashlight up to your phone and see if you can make anything. I’ve had this happen to me before just push the button to activate the Home Screen
What tools and such do you recommend for cleaning off the lcd?
The actual lcd I would only use a microfiber cloth. I have dropped glue on the lcd before and used a sticker remover pen and it actually worked and did not harm the lcd but had to cover the entire lcd with the pen. But that was a worst case senario
Good video buddy...Could you tell me or show me the final position of the touch flex when you attach the touch to the ipad? it is just because I tried to replace mine and screwed up the flex when I attached the touch to the ipad so I do not know if maybe that flex was too large..would you recomend any provider in amazon or ebay which sells good quality touch? thanks in advance
Try gadget fix.com I love them
Thanks bro. I was finally able to make it 👌
Ok awesome
Very helpful video thanks. I would say though there is probably a 50% chance of a successful repair if you have never done it before.
I think if you go slow and have all the tools it’s petty high
Do you not have to transfer the home button to the new screen on this model of iPad?
Most you do not, the touch ones you do if you wanna keep finger print 90% of the people that I’ve fixed for do not care and it’s easier to order with home button. If your really into the fingerprint scanner than yes you gotta
If the ribbon to the home button is cut will the touch still work?
I usually get a small file and scrape the dented area out so that screen will sit flush. With that breach in the adhesive, screen is more likely to work it's way open.(especially with young children)
Very true thanks
Thanks Tim Wetzel of the Wetzel Pretzel family
Thanks for tutorial, it helped quite a bit.
One suggestion I have is maybe at important or crucial/delicate parts maybe slow down the video to normal speed and go through it as normal, explaining more step by step, as had to pause the video quite a bit in those parts.
Over all good video and thank, hope you have a great day, and keep being awesome
Your absolutely right, gonna do that on the next one. Sometimes I take for granted that this is possibly the first time some are doing this. I really appreciate that. Thank you Robby
@@elitesportsmedia np😊 Thanks for hearing out my advice as well.
Btw do you think you'd be doing a Samsung s8 curved screen placement any time soon? Just got a samsung s8 but the screen is a bit cracked so wanting to see if I can replace it, or if it be better getting someone else to do it.
Cheers and hope you have a great day, keep fixing and keep being awesome and being you✌
It’s not hard to replace, but it’s pricey cause you gotta order the screen/lcd I will send a link

My man!!! This was amazing very helpful, what is the name of the tape you use?
Thank you very much it’s just 3m double sided tape I will comment a link for you

This is a great tutorial and I fixed my iPad mini just fine with this! The screen is kinda loose after putting it back in and I’m scared it’s going to fall out. Any suggestions on how to tighten it up?
Double sided tape, is the best option, you might have to warm it up again and re lay the tap make sure you get all the old tape off so it makes a secure hold to the iPad frame
Tim Wetzel I didn’t take the tape off😆
I can’t lie I’ve done that a time or two haha
Tim Wetzel Lol well it gets even better, after fixing the tape issue I ripped the ribbon that attaches from the screen so I have to order a new screen now lol😑
Dang!!!!!!!
Great video! I successfully repaired my iPad screen. One thing you might want to mention are the “Smart Cover magnets”. I had to look up another page to see where those go since they came off with the broken screen removal. Again, thank you for this excellent video.
I forgot about that thanks
