    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.

      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!

    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.

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

  • @Randy.Bobandy
    @Randy.Bobandy หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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.

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.

  • @Jake-ix1od
    @Jake-ix1od ปีที่แล้ว +8

    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

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

      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!

      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.

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

    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.

      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!

      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.

    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!

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.
