I have an Ipad2 where the touch is only active on a strip 1/4 of the screen. If I rotate the Ipad the active part also rotates. I'm trying to figure out if this a problem with the ribbon cable or a chip problem. Thanks to all suggestions.
Many people say that my iPad 2 is not fixable, but deep inside me I know it can be repaired. The only intact thing that probably works is the motherboard. I'll try to swap the motherboard with another iPad 2 (same model A1395) and I hope that it will work because there are lots of photos, videos, games and memories from my childhood. (I destroyed it when I got super angry as a kid.) Also can I swap the motherboard from the white bezel iPad to the black bezel version? (They are both A1395.) I hope that it will work.
The iPad has never had a super impressive speaker system, but like the camera, it's not the main selling feature nor the main reason people use the product. People will use headphones and external sound systems anyway when they want a better listening experience. However, check out the theremin setting the the Bebot app with the volume at full on the iPad 2. It's impressively loud for such a small speaker.
I really waited for your video on this since iPad 2 is not launched here yet and I am about to buy it through ebay which means I dont have support here and I am all on my own if this troubles. :-)
btw... MJ? Who ran the Benchmarks vs Xoom... Engadget or iFixit? They are misleading. iPad 2 was tested using OpenGL v1.0 Benchmarking Tool and Xoom got tested on OpenGL v2.0 testing for full OpenGL ES 2.0 compliance. Reason? New version has not been coded to run on newest iOS proprietary drivers. Same GPU as Galaxy S phones but on same v1.0 test has lower frame rates due to underclocking! Xoom has now been overclocked to 1.4ghz & kicks butt. It also now has tuned FLASH 10.2 running sweet!
As an engineer, do you not realize the tradeoffs that need to be made when making a device smaller, lighter, faster, etc.?... clearly you don't.... Perhaps Apple could have put boom box speakers and your 1996 digital camera in there, but who would want to tote that behemoth around
@JacobFreemanInc oh I guess I just found an unhappy customer! The Xoom might be more expensive but for what you get it would cost a lot more in Apple bucks!
@WALSTGUY ell its just so much more fun when you can look at it yourself. you get to see the wiring, its so exciting. besides they put it back to together just fine. =]
Brilliant Thanks. MJ you are beautiful, you have a nice , and you're articulate, quite the combination. I just noticed you are wearing a ring, congratulations to you both!
I feel sad that the older gadgets like the ipad 2 are almost unusabe today. I made this video on the best ways to use our old devices. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks.
I am not a techie...so this might seem like a dumb question to you. Why do you have to tear apart this brand new item? Can't you just ask Apple what is different and how it is made. Then instead of destroying it, you can give it to one of your deserving viewers who can't afford one...LIKE ME! Just saying...thanks for your time cute alien girl...we now return you to the mothership.
@Arrygoo Alien? haha... that's an Alien comment! Which Galaxy are you from? :P Seriously though; this girl delivers her report very succinctly w/ FAST Delivery of an Android! ....but she's far from being a robot. I'm totally impressed by her and I don't know if she memorizes or reads this but she's really good!!! ^_^
Brilliant Thanks. MJ you are beautiful, you have a nice countenance, and you're articulate, quite the combination. I just noticed you are wearing a ring, congratulations to you both!
I pad 2 just came out why would u want to take it apart. Your wining about some screws? Dont u have a screw driver. What is up with the giant wrenches? do u use them on a Giant computer? I think u should just smoke some pot and chill out. I think your in a time warp. No ones taking their Ipad apart. Im still working on my Dell D600 can u tell me how to fix that? Chill out and come back from the future.And work on the past.
A new model number? What? Are you kidding me? Apple actually uses model numbers so you can differentiate between two models now? The world *will* end in 2012 after all...
@ebonerobinson dude this is not made to be a laptop, its a device for basic things like internets, emails, youtubes, apps, basic stuff, not for serious games like black ops, so stop trolling and gtfo
greatest teardown i've ever seen where nobody actually tears things down (sarcasm)
good info
You rock MJ. I was surprised to see the tear down video so soon!

I wonder if Apple strives for a low repairability score. Seems like something they'd do. Thankfully we have ifixit!
So what brand cameras does it use?
The tear down really didn't say much that we didn't know already.

Cool a 1mp camera added. REVOLUTIONARY!!!

@macjsus these socalled "LED displays" you hear about are just LED-backlit LCD displays. LCD is not dead...
what i dont get is why is it made mostly out of glass? wouldn't people want durability more than convenience?
They went to the east coast? I though Apple hq was in Silicon Valley, California and that there stuff was manufactured there and partially in China?

It works really good with for example Sky Gamblers
but.... Will it Blend?
"...and for that we thank them" tosh.0 flashback
Did I miss anything or those wrenches behind her indeed have something to do with an iPad?
Did she ever work as a model or actor? I bet she did, or if not she should! She's one amazing looking woman!
mint i love teardowns and i know how to jailbrake your i pad 1 cool hu?
@coleever I know, the Xoom is slower and its $800! I could get a 3G+WiFi 16GB iPad for $629! Overpriced
umm y would we want to take it apart in the first place
i love you guys and what you do for us.
Am I the only one who freaks out every time he sees that oscilloscope way up there on that pegboard? Hopefully you’re not in an earthquake-prone area…
Can't get enough of her!!!,,:)
3:15 Who Do You Think You Are? Daniel Tosh?!?!?
1:05 - she suddenly becomes possessed and the voice of a demon takes over. "WHADAWABADDERY!!!"
@Arrygoo something with the trought
I was expecting something completely different, I thought apple had made a product for women's menstrual needs.
Very nice. Thanks!
oh dear, please let the speaker breath on the word "battery" she's almost collapse when tuning down....
press 1:07 over and over, it will freak you out....

I'm tired of falling in love with this girl every time I see her in a video
@flujori well ?
LOVE YOU MJ!

very important stuff
you probly do a great yoda impression.
I'll love to repair you! ;)
she can fix things
hey girl, you've just lost your warranty..
oops.. i forgot that you are not allowed to enjoy such a service for your Apple products in Europe.. :P
@JacobFreemanInc oh I guess I just found an unhappy customer! The Xoom might be more expensive but for what you get it would cost a lot more in Apple bucks!
She can tear me down anyday
@WALSTGUY ell its just so much more fun when you can look at it yourself. you get to see the wiring, its so exciting. besides they put it back to together just fine. =]
Someone glued her forearms to the table. Probably needed a heat gun to free them up at 2:34
2 People were Apple developers
Love my ipad 2 its awsum
LCD;s are dead they need to make these iPads with LED.
Why dont people in apple just make an Ipad with everything on it at once !
4/10 is too generous for fixability.
@Avidanborisov That gets old.
:O i could never do that to my iPad
Brilliant Thanks. MJ you are beautiful, you have a nice , and you're articulate, quite the combination.
I just noticed you are wearing a ring, congratulations to you both!
I like her wrench
ipad -> the expensive toy for people who dont know what to do with their money...
I feel sad that the older gadgets like the ipad 2 are almost unusabe today. I made this video on the best ways to use our old devices. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks.
I thought when i clicked this video i will see some destruction of Ipad2...
Now make a assembly video lol
You can tear me down MJ and get your hands on mine. ;)
Press 7 to ...
Press 7 to listen yourself! ;-)

Não entendeu nada? Veja um vídeo legendado do iFixit no meu canal.

@Arrygoo Alien? haha... that's an Alien comment!

Brilliant Thanks. MJ you are beautiful, you have a nice countenance, and you're articulate, quite the combination.

1:07 ALIEN!
@psalib89
What does that even mean? I feel sorry for any woman you've been with.
Her persona gets very boring after a while... Too robotic
Giggity!
i think i can see a toshiba chip there WTF APPLE!

She speaks a little too fast for me, i'm not english native speaker :D
btw, how ironic Apple is to use 1996 camera on 2011 tablet, omfg =DDDDD
I hate this iPad it end up being a haunted devices in my house
how much you no grammar hahahahha
