      They aren't too hard, it just frustrates me that some companies will go out of their way to make repairs more difficult

    I learned the hard way its pretty easy to crack the digitizer while removing it if you pry up a bit too hard in the middle lol

    Is there a replacement digitizer you highly recommend? I'm looking to do this repair myself as it looks fairly straightforward

      They're all about the same these days, just make sure it includes a new home button, it makes the repair way easier.

    Help!! We had an iPad mini 2 in storage for a few years and gifted it to one of my kids? Somehow it was damaged and looked like it might have been stepped on. The screen is not cracked but the touch screen has lines through it.. can it be fixed??

    • @TapticDigital
      @TapticDigital  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yup, it will just need an LCD replacement. It's probably the most expensive part to replace, but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a new iPad!

      You sure can! The Mini 1 and Mini 2 use the same glass/digitizer. Just be really careful when removing the uncracked one!

    so replacing the digitizer will solve problem of unresponsive screen? the tablet didn't froze, bc voluming works

      Depends, if the image is distorted or the LCD is broken, changing the glass won't help. If your glass is cracked but the screen still shows image just fine, you just need glass

      yep, the LED works perfectly and shows action performed by buttons, but does not give any signs of action when screen is tapped by a finger

      i have one more question. The touchscreen stopped working all of sudden, I bought the iapd, set it up, downloaded some TH-cam and it suddenly stopped responding to touches, like in random moment during work. isn't it some kind of idk lag? I restarted it 5 times

    the fact that Apple even DOES something so scummy as laying REPAIR TRAPS for users who dare to try to fix THEIR property really shows their true colors and business ethics...
