For those of you wondering (like I was) how to re-insert those tiny-tiny-tiny screws... it's quite a challenge, especially if you have big hands like I do. I started having success after I bought a magnifying lamp. Then you can really see those tiny screws up close and work the tweezers to gently grab the head of the screw and place them in the holes. Then make sure your screwdriver is demagnetized otherwise the screw will jump back out and attach to the screwdriver. Also, don't squeeze too hard on the tweezers or else your screw will shoot out never to be seen again. My suggestion is to get an old broken iPad and practice first. It takes time and patience to get these screws in the holes and I also recommend ordering a whole bunch of replacement screws. Another frustrating thing to keep in mind is the edge of the iPad is EXTREMELY magnetized - we're talking black hole magnetic field power. The screws love to just zing away from the holes and attach themselves to the edge. The magnifier and the tweezers make it easier to pry them away from the edge.
❤HOW MUCH WILL I SAVE BY DOING THIS MYSELF????$$$
AND WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD DEAL PRICE TO PAY SOMEONE TO FIX MY IPAD TABLET LIKE THIS??$$$$
Do you know where I could get any iPad 10th gen replacement screws two of mines got stripped😭
If the LCD hast a little crack at the frame Side , will This make the whole LCD Display wont Work ?
Thanks dude!!! My ipad no longer looks likes a spider paradise!!! This was a very short and detailed video that was perfect to follow, and only two shards of glass in my fingers! Success!!!
…….”this is to insure it breaks when new people try to replace it. Thanks Apple!” 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉 I love the narration!
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you!
Just successfully replaced the screen of my son's iPad thanks to this video!
It was a bit of a struggle in places, like replacing the tiny screws and the home button strip I got with the replacement glass was a long strip so I had to fold it over myself, it was a little awkward but I got there in the end.
Nice! And you're right, those home button ribbons are super weird, apple likes to make origami in the worst ways sometimes!
Just replaced my son’s iPad watching this tutorial. Thanks so much! Took a lot longer than you as this was my first time. Tips were helpful so I didn’t do any damage during the replacement. Fortunately my new replacement screen came with a home button attached to it.
I love to hear good news like this! Glad it went well, and hopefully now you'll feel a little more confident if you need to fix anything else in the future!
🔥🔥 enjoyed the quick efficient style u demonstrated!! Thank u
As a heads up for those trying it. Make sure you disable the password prior. This way it won’t locked up the iPad for a period of time!
Or make sure it's powered off completely before taking apart. Apple devices hate unexpected battery disconnections.
How can I solve it!? It locked up 15 mins every time when I wake up iPad. The touch button always ghosted and password is automatically filled in wrong number then locked.😢
@@jinxinxu8369 that means there’s something wrong with the way you connected it. I kept trying to reconnect and connect it again. Eventually it worked out.
Ok I feel like I did the same but getting a new screen with home button. When I recieved the tablet tho the home button was ripped and dangling . Do these new home buttons still need to be programmed?
Thanks man. Greetings from the UK. Liked your presenting style. This helped me a lot. Two of the lcd screws were covered in tape which was a bit of a curve ball.
Thanks so much! And yes, apple likes to hide things quite often 😉
My home button is definitely recessed more than it should be but your video really helped hopefully this repair works. Thank you so much
Ooo that's a fun one! It is most likely the nipple of the button. I know, sounds weird. But it's this little black dot that helps make the actual "click" happen. I have a TH-cam Short about it and how to repair it!
First timer here - going to give this a try in the coming week. Wish me luck, will report back my results!
Good luck! Just watch out for the home button ribbon, it's the one thing that can go bad very fast in this repair.
@@TapticDigital Noted, I gathered such from the other comments!
@@MagicMikey1 we haven't heard back, I wonder if the iPad ate them?
He can’t reply cause he broke the ribbon on the home button 🤦🏼♂️
@@timcarr6905 i wish I was as smart as L from DEATH NOTE
Tysm for this, I repaired on of my friends iPads and it worked great. The only real problems I had was the home button didn't sit in place completely correctly and now it's sunken in a little bit and doesn't make as much sound when it clicks
Nice! Your problem is likely the nipple on the button. I actually have a short on my channel about replacing that little piece. As for the sunken in, that could be the button missing that piece, or the backed got loose. Ever since I started using tape primer (should be available at hardware stores) on the bracket and glass those buttons stay stuck. Glad this video helped!
Use some extra glue to avoid future problem of home button coming loose
Just knocked it out following your vid. Thanks man my son is so happy!
Glad to hear it! And you saved yourself some money too!
thank you for the help and snark. That truly was a pain, but i fixed it.
also, like you said, yes I did rip my home button ;p
I recently replaced the screen on my moms phone and thought maybe I could tackle my old iPad as it has a crack right down the middle. I’m glad that I watched this before I spent money on a new screen. Too much can go wrong. Besides, when it’s on, I can’t even tell it’s cracked. Thanks for the informative video.
Obviously getting stuff fixed is ideal, but sometimes fixing it just isn't worth it at the time. I often get customers with expensive phones like the IPhone 14 Pro and they have a small hairline crack in the display. It's almost $400 for a screen, so usually I recommend covering it with some tape unless it gets much much worse. If it isn't causing a problem, best to leave it alone sometimes. Glad my video helped!
Awesome help! I would like to know what you used to hold/keep the glass standing up.
It's called a WRepair Screen Support Stand! I have no idea where I got it from, it just kind of showed up in the shop one day
Oh God, I hate repairing phones, tablettes and Apple things!! But it's done now, thanks for the video!
For me, phones are fine. But iPads suck.
Thank you !! your video helped me to replace the screen on my iPad !!!
I love to hear it!
Do you need to reset the iPad in order to replace your LCD? I'm an artist and most of my work is on my iPad, but I need to have the LCD replaced.
Thanks love your video it was so help full and educational
Glad it could help! I love when people are able to fix their own things!
Great guide, thanks! It could do with some more detail regarding the Home Button, though. Whenever I try and place the button back, it never feels flush and is often loose when replacing the screen. I'm not sure how you're supposed to get it to sit right and not move around. It's lined up with the nipple and clicks when you press it, but it's still kinda loose once you fit everything back together.
First, fantastic profile picture and name. And some of these buttons can feel a bit loosey goosey, you can slightly bend the bracket to put a bit more downward force on it but as long as it still has the nipple it should click pretty well. If the adhesive on the bracket is too thick it can also put a bit more lift on the bracket preventing it from holding it in tight. Personally I’d try bending the bracket just a bit to press against the button and keep it locked in, but not too much or it will constantly click the button.
Excellent video. What 3M tape primer do you use? Is it necessary to black silicon areas back down, where existing silicon spots were removed?
No silicone necessary, it serves no purpose. I use tape primer 94 and it makes for a very good seal.
After change lcd, true tone still have or missing?
Great video good instructions,I repaired my iPad screen the top of the screen works and the home button works but the bottom of the screen doesn’t work and properly
Ouch, there could be a slight rip or disconnection in your digitizer ribbons, that's common when closing them up unfortunately
Hey, awesome video! Can I do this task without the heating pad? I don't have one
You can! There are lots of options, it just depends on what tools you have available. Another good choice would be using a heatgun. You could potentially use a hair dryer and a razor blade with some isopropyl alcohol, though it would take longer. iFixit sells a bean bag that can be microwaved and act like a hot pad.
I need the adhesive u used
Excellent! Thanks Apple!
At least we're used to it by now! 🤣 Still very repairable devices.
Tysm for this, but what tape were you using ?
These come with pre-installed adhesive, but I use the same type in other things. It's tesa 61395 double-sided tape.
does 7/8 digitizer fit 9 2021 ? =) ? thx
Two precautions I didn’t see replaced, the black tape; securing the tab for the Touch ID connector; it was left on the battery, and the foam pad covering the Touch ID cable; probably intended to absorb vibrations preventing the Touch ID connection from shaking out of place
Both pretty optional, the cable has adhesive holding it to the frame under that foam as well making the foam unnecessary, more of a trap to ensure the ribbon rips if pulled without thinking. The tape doesn't do much as the latching connector cannot unlatch when the LCD is screwed down on top of it, and very little chance of moving. I think the tape does more to "hide" the connector than it does hold it, something so light and thin doesn't react much to shaking. The charge port on the other hand, very susceptible to vibration as Apple hasn't quite figured out what loctite or threadlocker is.
@@TapticDigital brother where can we order touch screen for iPad 9 from . I’m from nepal and no one has the touch screen can you please provide me a source from where I can order the touch screen 😢😢
@@TapticDigital yes pls reply
@@mrudulajoshi5387 I am unfortunately not familiar with any vendors that ship to Nepal. I am based in the US, I would look on Amazon or eBay, I believe they offer international shipping options.
Very Nice!! I need that stand holding up the glass
Thanks for video. I have a iPad 11inch 2018, would this be a simular process, as I am not sure which part to repair. I was going to invest in the heat mat and tools and adsives. Any thoughts if its worth while trying, as LCD seems ok just glass.
If you have an iPad pro that is a whole different story. In many cases I refuse to work on them because of how quickly they break when you try to open them. I would avoid trying to take it apart unless absolutely necessary, and have a replacement display handy if the original breaks.
@@TapticDigital Greatful for your reply and support. Cheers
Flawless victory ✌️
Where did you get this digitizer and did you have any problems with ghost touch afterwards? I was thinking of buying mine from amazon but I don't know how well that would work out
I've had decent luck with Amazon in the past. I ended up partnering with vendors like MobileSentrix and GadgetFix, you may also try Injured Gadgets. They all have very good warranties. It was VERY rare to have touch issues, but sometimes they happened. The vendor always replaced it promptly. If you do go Amazon just check if they offer a warranty, touch is really the only issue these things can have so they usually cover that. And ALWAYS test before you tape the screen in place!
Very helpful. What do I do if one of the screws is stuck with the black silicon?
Encourage it with some force 😉 it'll come out, that silicone breaks relatively easily.
does the Apple Pencil works after the replacement? looking forward to do it, thanks!!
Sometimes! In most cases I've had the pencil work fine after replacement, but depending on which vendor you buy from it may not. A lot of part vendors will specifically state "works with pencil" and those are the ones I'd go for!
which glue are you using for the cables?
I mean that one which is a applied with the small brush:)
That is 3M rape primer. It helps the double-sided tape stick
We’re is you’re shop at?
What size tape did you use? I see rolls of 1 mm all the way to 12 mm and I don't know which one is best . Thanks!
For something like this I'd say the 2mm - 3mm will work well.
Just picked up an iPad 9th gen for free! With a shattered glass but otherwise funtional. £20 for the part so it will total £30 after fuel which I used to collect the iPad. Very happy!
That’s one heck of a deal right there!
@@TapticDigital yes sir! I’m using it now even with the shattered glass. Amazon delivers the new digitiser tomorrow :D
Is it necessary to take out the plastic cover in the opposite side? Mine has very silvery screen reflection .. may be coz of that plastic
Yes, any protective plastic layers should be peeled off. They are just for protecting the glass before install
At least the glass crunching was satisfying
Is there a certain temp that you set your heating pad to in order to insure the adhesive loosens and nothing over heats?
I like to keep mine around 78C, over 90 seems to be the danger zone. Also time, don't leave it for too long. I've melted an LCD before and it wasn't fun
Awesome thank you so much!
Did you add any extra adhesive when installing the new digitizer?
The new part comes with adhesive already lined up on it, no need for extra. Though I do add a layer of tape primer which dries on the frame and makes for a good bond
Hi! Would you happen to know where I could get replacement screws for my iPad it’s a 10th gen 2022 I’ve been looking everywhere and nothing
Unfortunately screws can be tricky to find. You may have better luck talking to a local repair shop and asking if they have spares, most shops keep a large bin of them. Otherwise I’d recommend checking Injured Gadgets or even eBay
Hard Subscribe! A Perfect Guide!!!
Can you put a link for the 3m tape primer that you used?
Added to the description for you!
is there suppose to be glue marks at the edges after sticking the screen back
Not if you're using double sided tape. If you use glue it will certainly spread when you pretty the screen in to place.
Do you know if a water damaged lcd can be fixed by just replacing? Or is there a chance it’s the chip and connections that are damaged? Wondering whether it’s worth paying for a new screen if it won’t make a difference
Any time there was liquid involved theres always a chance that everything is damaged. If the device works fine but doesn't display, replacing the screen will probably fix it. But if it's having any other non-display problem, it's going to take a lot more work.
hello master, where can I find the handcuffed product that holds the glass of the ipad, I need the same as yours
I can't post links in the comments, but if you search "WRepair Phone repair Stand" on Google you should find what you need! 😊
Can you save touch id? And how
Hey, how were you able to attach the home button, that wire and the metal piece? What kind of tape I need to use for all?
I use double sided tesa tape, it works very well
@@TapticDigitaleven for the metal bracket? Got kink you can share for the tape?
@@tusharpatel8749 I definitely won't share any kinks here, but I did add a link in the description for you! 😉
Lol as a fellow repair shop owner your dialogue is exactly the same as my inner dialogue when I fix Crapples 😂
Off camera my choice of words might be a bit… less professional. 😉
Hello,
What adhesive did you apply with the tiny brush? it doesn't look B-7000.
It's 3M tape primer, it makes the tape stick to the surface better.
@@TapticDigital Thank you!
How do you guys get the home button connected? I watched multiple times and can’t get it to slide under and stay.
Do you mean the part that connects to the board or the part that goes in the glass? If it's board side, even if they are all the way inserted and the little latch is down it still looks and feels pretty loose but it should stay. If it doesn't, you can line it up and then use a small piece of tape over it to hold it in place!
If the display already brings a home button, Theres no need to replace it with the original home button ? the touch id will still work with the new home button?
Nope, if the home button is ever replaced, even with another Apple part, Touch ID will stop working entirely. You have to transfer the original button
@@TapticDigital thanks for answering and the vid!!
Thanks for the walkthrough
Glad it helped!
I made an attempt at following your guide to repair my shattered screen. Everything was going great until I started putting everything back together. I got one of the digitizer "lego" connectors connected just fine but the second one was like, "Nope!". I wound up mashing the pins. My big meaty hands are not designed to do work on tiny little things. And speaking of tiny!!! Those freaking screws. How do you deal with screwing those back in? They become so ridiculously magnetized you can't get them seated on the driver. Then I lost one inside somewhere and couldn't find it due to the magnetization. It's attached to something in there but I'll never find it. I gave up and just ordered a new iPad.
is dust on lcd visible and hard to clean after glass replacement?
Not at all, a quick burst of compressed air will clean it off easily. If you have to wipe, use a new clean microfiber and wipe very lightly
do you not use primer or anything for home button bracket to stick well down and not move or sink when pressed
Always use primer! For anywhere that has adhesive, frame, home button bracket, and on the glass where that bracket sits. So far only children have been able to break it still.
@Taptic Digital yeah been using that myself for years, £37 for 100ml tin 👌🏾
Hey! I was wondering, do you take commissions/repairs for things? You seem really skilled in your craft, and I was curious if you do or not.
I don't offer mail-in repairs just yet but I would recommend checking local shops with decent reviews, even franchises like CPR or UBreakIFix (in the US) offer quality repairs at reasonable prices!
Follow the steps exactly and everything seemed to go smooth but when I went to power back on nothing happened. I checked at the battery was connected is there something else I may have missed?
As silly as it sounds, a lot of people forget to fully tighten the battery screw. Otherwise try connecting it to a charger, sometimes they like to power on that way after a battery pull
Do we have to replace the home button? Can we just replace the screen not the home button too?
Yep, you have to transfer the original home button (if it isn't damaged) to keep touch ID working
I don't like the adhesive that comes pre installed it does hold good. I usually remove it and re apple scotch 3m 300lse
I've had decent luck using the TESA tape it comes with, and then using 3M Tape Primer 94, it bonds hard as a rock. I might look into the 300LSE, is it thicker than the normal double sided tape?
I cant get the screw loose that needs the connection interrupted. Can I still do the rest without doing that?
As long as you are absolutely certain the device is off, and you use only plastic tools to disconnect things.
I really like that you give the small hints at how bad this is designed.
Good thing they make a new model every year. Well it's the same, but you know, you need it to feel better ;)
I love when the “new” model uses 90% the same parts. At least it makes it easier to keep an inventory of parts!
@@TapticDigital lmao, you're not allowed to say that, people will find out that it's actually cheap to fix overpriced things. Shhhhh xD
Hey where do we get the adhesive you were rubbing on it
3M tape primer 94. You can find it at a lot of hardware stores, but I usually just grab it on Amazon
I have just done mine but the screen seems to press random stuff sometimes where have I went rong? Thanks
Two possibilities! The first, one of the two ribbons coming from the glass has been ripped/torn/knicked or isn’t fully connected, the other possibility is a defective digitizer. Both are equally as common with how mass produced the glass is. Best bet would be to open it back up gently, check the connectors and ribbons for any signs of damage. If no obvious physical damage, contact the vendor and look into replacing it!
Damn I cracked my screen cuz the shelf under my table collapsed and it flipped :(
Thx so much for this video :)
Will it still have all your data and information and like games and stuff on there?
Of course! No reason for data to be lost, you're only changing a touch sensor and glass, not a board. 😉
Edit: if a shop tells you they have to wipe your data for any reason, they aren't a good shop.
Hello! Does doing this risk deletion of memory? Asking because i have over 1000 artworks on procreate (theyre saved to my ICloud but still..) that i dont want to lose! My screen only has a single crack running diagonally on the screen and its not lifting at all, but I want to replace it before it worsens.
No risk of losing data, just a simple screen swap. If a shop tells you they have to wipe it, don’t go to that shop. 😉
@@TapticDigital Thanks so much! Your video of the process helped me feel way less anxious about how it works!
I was considering GeekSquad to do it bc I'm far too anxious to try lol so I'll check and make sure they don't say that!
Thank you again!
What are those liquid you wipe? Prior sticking? Thanks
3M tape primer, it creates a much stronger bond between the frame and adhesive.
@@TapticDigital thank you sir for the info.
What’s the glue u used to stick the home button down and how long does it take to dry ?
I use double-sided tesa tape after a coat of 3M tape primer. Dries in seconds
@@TapticDigital thanks very much for the quick reply :)
Replaced glass and now I have the horrible ghost touch it opens apps by itself and swipes left and right non stop. What did I do wrong?
Possibly nothing you did. There's a chance one of the connectors is slightly loose and didn't click in all the way, there's also the possibility one of the ribbons has a tear in it. Or it's just a defective screen, which isn't common but isn't exactly rare either. Mass produced parts will sometimes just have a bad one slip through quality control.
curious if primer is necessary? Just bought the digitizer and it comes pre adhesive but was curious about benefits of using primer
Definitely not necessary, but it does provide a much stronger "factory-like" bond. You can achieve similar results by placing a decently heavy book on top of the tablet overnight.
Well I must say it looks easy😏
Great video, I just have a question about the home button application:
How do I get the home button to sit properly with the digitizer ? My home button came off the bracket so I’ve been having trouble getting an OEM feel. I tried applying some B700 adhesive to the rim that sits around the home button and directly attaching it to the digitizer before using the bracket, but the button still sits really low inside the digitizer. Any help would be great, thank you!
The bracket that holds the home button in can usually be bent slightly so it makes better contact with the button itself. You'll also want to verify that the home button isn't missing its nipple, a small black dot on the clicker part. It should also have a matching silver dot on the bracket side. If either of those are missing, it won't stay down or work well at all. You're on the right track with gluing the rim, that is a helpful option but I'd highly recommend checking the nipples!
Edit: also, check to see if there's a plastic spacer thats attached to the rubber around the button, replacement parts often include a spacer already on the digitizer, and stacking two on top can create a "sunken" feel
Where do you get your screens from?
Typically MobileSentrix or Injured Gadgets
I always have problems getting glass to stay stuck on the flex (right) side. Do you use extra glue?
That's definitely the most common lifting point, it's just a super thin area of frame. I use 3M tape primer on the frame which seems to resolve the problem, some people add a silicone based adhesive as well.
@@TapticDigital thanks, do you think isopropyl would act as primer? And that black gunge on the LCD screws is a real pain.
@@bellslinki alcohol will work the opposite, it tends to remove stickiness from surfaces. I'd definitely recommend cleaning the metal of any old leftover adhesive with alcohol, but still some kind of primer would help increase the stickiness.
All in a days work
hey please i need help i did everything you said but mine started to move itself how do i fix it please help🙏🙏
Good ol' ghost touching! It's usually the sign of a loose digitizer ribbon connection, ripped/torn ribbon, or just a plain defective screen (it happens when everything is so mass produced).
Which primer brand you are using?
3M!
Hi where did you buy that mat from?
Amazon! I've got a link in the video description. I've used it daily for about 2 years, I have a few tears from razor blade slippage, but a good alcohol wipe every week and it looks good as new!
please, could you help me? where could i buy a high quality lcd+touch for ipad A2602? And that delivered to Brazil.
Sorry I'm not familiar with any Brazilian suppliers, only US. If you aren't able to find a vendor I would recommend eBay or Amazon
Hey can u tell me where ur store is
I'm over on the east coast of the US. Currently I don't do mail-in repairs or in-store services related to my TH-cam channel, I'd recommend looking for local shops with decent reviews. Even franchises (in the US) like CPR or UBreakIFix are pretty reliable choices.
Would you use this same method on an iPad Pro 11 inch display?
The Pro is likely more similar to my iPad Air 4 video, but a lot of the pro series has the cables and board in the center of the device. it's very difficult to angle the display up to connect it properly without damaging it in the process. iPad Pros are one of the few devices I dislike working on.
Great video. I did try to replicate what was in this video but it won’t turn on! I don’t know what exactly I did wrong though.😢
First thing is to confirm that it isn’t turning on, sometimes the display just won’t turn on but the device is “on” or stuck in DFU mode. This will also rule out if the power button is damaged because the charger will attempt to force a power up without the button. Try connecting it to a computer and see if it shows up, if so, it’s on just stuck. If not, head back inside the device and make sure the battery connector is screwed down and that the LCD connector is fully seated. If still no power, remove the main board and check the battery connector, it has a few gold springs that can occasionally get bent or damaged.
Dude I have a question does changing the digitizer stops the true tone?
It does not as far as I can tell, but I'd imagine swapping the LCD would. Especially since this is the first in the series to use True Tone
@@TapticDigital definitely going to do it myself, since it cost 45$ from a third-party repair shop in my country. Thanks alot for the video. This is honestly one of the best, I’ve watched
Tried to repair it and was so close to succeeding. Then the LCD decided to spontaneously die.
I’m not mad that my gorilla hands broke it; I’m mad that Apple intentionally designed it to be difficult to repair. Great guide though; short and straight to the point. Thank you.
I obviously don't show it on camera (though I might), but there are times I'll go to remove one that isn't broken and suddenly POW! Glass in the face. Other times I'll press it into the frame, only for a dented part of the frame to shatter it to bits. Glass is... Fun? Either way, I'm super glad my video was helpful!
Question, i replaced the screen, and the homebutton… everything worked like a charm. Wanted to close up, did a final check.. the homebutton didnt work anymore.. after re opening… the flex cable was severed… had to order a new flexcable…. But how do i prevent this?! It seems like when i close the screen it ruptures 😢
It's a bit tricky to line up but as you're closing you have to make sure it isn't being pinched between the frame and display, or that you don't open the glass past about 45 degrees, it puts stress on the cables and they can rip.
Thanks for the quick answer, ill give it another go tomorrow!
🎉 it worked, was indeed failure at my end, by placing the screen more then a 45 degree corner, the flex cable got in touch with the ipads metal housing wich severed it. Hope my reaction helps preventing other people making this mistake!
Thanks so much for your video and replying. I just saved myself 300 euro’s repair cost at an official apple dealer. 🎉
Where can I get a good quality replacement screen?
I usually go through Injured Gadgets or GadgetFix for those!
Sir kita kharcha aaaya
My ipad 9 just suddenly death, no drop nothing happened. Just a black screen of death any idea to fixes this issue
Does it still "ding" when you plug it in? It's also possible it got stuck in recovery mode, it should still pop up in iTunes on a computer if it is.
Sir iPad 8 screen will work on 9gen ?
Yes! The iPad 7, 8, and 9 all use the same digitizer and LCD
What is wrong when, after the touch screen has been replaced, it registers zillions of random touches all over the screen, so that it enters wrong pins on its own? Is the replacement touch screen defective? The panel itself was not replaced.
Good old ghost touching! It means the digitizer in the glass has a short somewhere. It's either just a defective glass, or there is a slight rip in the ribbon connectors that go to the board. The LCD is for display only, the actual touch sensor is embedded in the glass.
i replaced everything and my 1 2 3 number on keypad doestn work :(
I tried this, and my touchscreen stopped working, any advice?
Could be an issue of not being fully plugged in, ripped ribbon, or just a defective part unfortunately
What happens if the screen is black after i reattach the ribbon cable of the screen
Means the connection is loose/damaged or the LCD itself is damaged
After replacing my lcd screen on my 9th gen iPad the iPad ask me to connect to iTunes. I’ve never connected the iPad to iTunes its whole life. What could be the issue? Thank you so much for the video.
did you turn it off before replacing the display? or did it with the ipad powered on?
Does anybody know were to get that screwdriver at
I do, I have a link for them in the description! You can also find precision sets at small hardware or model shops.
Ty you are really helpful
Ok I accidentally touched the screen with no gloves now it jumps around without me touching it how do I fix it
The gloves don't matter much, you can do repairs barehanded. It sounds like a faulty digitizer, possibly a loose connector or ripped ribbon, but in most cases it's just a defect in the digitizer
