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.
I've been considering getting a magnifying lamp due to the reasons you mentioned but I never thought about an old practice iPad. That's a brilliant idea AND that means we'll have extra parts (and tiny screws) if needed. Thanks!
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!
They usually come with the button the reason for replacing the button with the original one is due to the fingerprint. It’s automatically synced with the old button so if you replaced it entirely you won’t be able to use that feature.
Thank you for the tutorial 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was unsure if I could do it myself since I’m a little strapped for cash. But after watching this amazing tutorial, I will be paying $145 for someone else to do it tomorrow ☺️

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!!!
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.
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.
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!
@@ReneRosa you do need to remove the LCD in order to get to the connectors for the glass, but really only the glass digitizer needs to be replaced. You’ll need to transfer the home button over to the new digitizer to maintain Touch ID. But yes the LCD can be reused.
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 😢😢
@@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.
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!
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.
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?
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!
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!
@@tylermorris1883 it seems to depend, the iPad 9 can use other digitizer but some don’t support the pencil. Definitely read the sellers description to make sure it includes pencil support.
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!
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
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
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 UA-cam Short about it and how to repair it!
Hey I have a question, I was curious if it was necessary to get tape primer before starting the repair as I don’t want to mess up my home button but also don’t wanna spend $25 unnecessarily. Anyways, great video!
@@Isaac-dh6iq I strongly recommend tape primer, it takes it from being “stuck” on to almost “sealed completely”. It makes it very unlikely to ever lift up on its own. You can find the tape primer in pen form if I recall for a bit cheaper than the small cans
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.
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!
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).
@@212Calvins usually you can still slide the ribbon in, use a piece of electrical or kapton tape to hold it down, and still have it function. Otherwise a repair shop should be able to replace that connector pretty easily with some soldering
@@bradleycrookshank4891 time to disconnect that battery! I’d start by opening it, and first disconnecting the battery. You should remove the screw and then take a thin piece of plastic or a playing card and gently slide it under the battery connector to make sure the battery is fully disconnected. Then unplug and replug all the display ribbons and try again!
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?
Followed this guide. Everything appeared to go great. It connects to WiFi but can’t access the internet. I took it back apart and checked the WiFi antenna and it appears fine. Any ideas?
This definitely talked me OUT of it since repair prices (for the glass) aren’t unreasonable in my area and I’m sure I’d break something else in there with my gorilla hands.
The digitizer is actually fused into the glass, they are one piece, one part. The LCD on the other hand is not, and doesn’t need to be replaced if it’s still working and undamaged.
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
I just replaced the screen and it all works great, except now the battery isn't charging. It turns on and chimes when I plug in the charger, but the battery never goes above 0%. This wasn't an issue before I replaced the screen. Is there something I may have bumped? I know that the battery screw is tight because I made a point to check that before closing it up. Thanks!
So the charge port has a bracket that holds it to the frame, held by two Phillips screws. These get loose from general use but also stay down because of the glass over them. But when you open it, it can loosen them up. If possible I’d heat and CAREFULLY reopen the glass, tighten those two screws and give it another chance.
@@TapticDigital I just did what you advised and it WORKED!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for the quick (and correct) response!!! You're awesome! I will definitely be recommending your channel to everyone I know! Thanks! :)
I have a question: if the glass is intact around the home button and most of the shattered glass is on the other side of the ipad, can I replace glass without replacing home button?
As long as the home button isn’t damaged you should never replace it, it contains your Touch ID functionality and if it’s replaced, Touch ID is gone for good.
so I replaced my screen, I could not recover the touch id as the ribben got cut somehow. Now the ipad keeps having the zoom pop open and close as I am trying to set up the ipad, it doesn't let me touch anything very well. Did I do something wrong with the install? It's an 8th Gen, with an 8th gen glass (as far as I know since thats what the seller said I bought and paid for)
Ghost touching is pretty common in iPad screen unfortunately. Sometimes it is just a loose connector, sometimes a torn ribbon, but sometimes it is just defective.
@@TapticDigital damn.. yah that’s exactly what it’s doing. I tried reseatting everything a few times but it’s still doing it. Might just be defective.. damn.
@@MantisFoxx2 definitely not, if no digitizer is connected it shouldn't be making any selections on the screen. That could be board damage to the connector, could be something stuck in it as well. Take a close look at the connector and make sure all the teeth look straight. One of the digitizer connectors seems to always plug in perfect, while the other doesn't fele quite right, at least in my experience. Sometimes I have to reconnect that specific one a few times to get it just right
@@TapticDigital the two cables from The digitizer and the home button aren’t even connected and it’s flickering with the zoom option as well as the location of the zoom box is moving around
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.
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
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.
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.
Hi, I want to know if I use heat to remove the glue from the screen, will it affect my lcd display? I heard from my friend that a repair shop fixed her ipad screen and her lcd display now have this crease looking paper like display. Is it the repair shop mistake or it is okay to use it?
Shop mistake, happens when you overheat the front or let it sit too long without checking it. Getting it “pretty warm” and then using isopropyl and a razor will get it open without risking the LCD
@@TapticDigital The shop said that what had happened to the lcd display depends on the luck of the ipad owners. I dont know if the shop lied or not. But thank you so much for your reply. It is very 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.
🎉 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. 🎉
"Would you rather A) replace the display of an ipad or B)..." "B!" "You didn't let me finish, what if I said 'B) give free bjs to 20 people'?" "The answer would still be B." Did this repair today and messed up. I scratched the display while cutting the glue and I cut the home button cable despite your warnings. The display still works, the scratch is only visible when black and the homebutton from the replacement digitizern works without fingerprint. This was the best instruction video that I EVER found on the internet. Thank you so much! I liked your comments about apple. If I worked in Apples development crew, I would probably tell my kids that I'm a stripper. Or a beggar.
@@deep470 iPads and Nintendo Switch Lites are my least favorite repairs. I feel like the execs at Apple said “make an iPhone with a big screen but just as thin” and the engineers said “ok but how do you want it to go together and work?” To which the execs said “idk lol, just make it fit and use a bunch of glue”
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
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 ;)
Super common problem, push the ribbon in as far as it goes, then use a piece of tape over top to hold it in place. Ideally I'd say replace the latch, but tape will hold just fine.
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
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.
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.
@@AydanSmith-gx2vy definitely don’t force it, that can bend the pins underneath. Gently lift the board up in that area and that should be enough to “disconnect” the battery. Technically it’s okay if the battery is still connected as long as you are absolutely certain the device is powered off.
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.
@@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!
I'm looking into repairing the ipad that are broken WEEKLY at the school, we send them to a place about 2hrs away as almost costs $150 AUD each ipad and were sending about 2-6/wk. Whats my best way of cleaning the screen from dust ect, I feel that a microfiber will scratch. Cheers
I strongly recommend getting some cheap tempered glass protectors for all iPads, even the cheaper glass ones work quite well. As for cleaning, if it’s the glass a microfiber is absolutely fine. You can also use a soft cloth with some windex or high concentration isopropyl alcohol (I actually mix these in a bottle at 50/50 and call it Booze+ as a joke). Cleaning the LCD itself it another story, no windex, and absolutely nothing containing ammonia. Make sure to use a super clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe it in a circular motion. Gentle is the keyword, you aren’t trying to scrub it or even apply much pressure like you would with glass. If it still won’t clean, add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth itself, not the LCD, and try a slight bit more pressure in a circular motion again. I’ve worked on tons of school iPads, and typically have to give them a full wipe down with the windex and alcohol combo because it isn’t just the screens that are gross. A cheap case and screen protector go a long way, but I can assure you that kids will absolutely find a way to mangle the poor tablets regardless, though maybe a bit less.
@@TapticDigital Hey, well recently we upgraded to 10th gen iPads that have a screen protector around the case. But we still have atleast 300 9th gens, we are waiting for funding to get more 10th. However they are in cases and are normal Cleaned often which is a bonus, normally it's just students or staff walking with them and bumping into something and drops it - these cases are mainly the apple folios. I just thought I could do the job a bit cheaper, and get paid for it which the tech above me said that's fine, I just need to send them invoices. Thankyou for your help man, I appreciate it.
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.
@@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.
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!
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!
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.
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 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?
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!
I'm about to give it a go and the tutorial seems to be "Army proof."
What's the gadget you are using to hold the Digitizer up?
@@mickeymartinez3539 it’s a screen stand I received from a vendor, though I usually prop them up with something like a can or bottle
@@TapticDigital what the name of it where i canget one
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!
@@TapticDigital good luck getting it replaced from gadgetfix. those people are terrible
Will the Apple Pencil still work for my iPad recently shattered the glass and my wife uses her iPad for graphics design ??
@@tylermorris1883 it seems to depend, the iPad 9 can use other digitizer but some don’t support the pencil. Definitely read the sellers description to make sure it includes pencil support.
@ Thank you :)
So if the screen keeps hitting buttons and theres a light air gap around the perimiter of the glass what do I do?
you have a faulty digitizer probably ordered from gadgetfix which are a garbage company
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!
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
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
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
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. 😉
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
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 UA-cam Short about it and how to repair it!
i wonder if the 3m adhesive primer 94 Pen is a reasonable alternative to the bulky large can
@@daftnord4957 definitely, I just go through a lot of it between myself and other techs
Hey I have a question, I was curious if it was necessary to get tape primer before starting the repair as I don’t want to mess up my home button but also don’t wanna spend $25 unnecessarily. Anyways, great video!
@@Isaac-dh6iq I strongly recommend tape primer, it takes it from being “stuck” on to almost “sealed completely”. It makes it very unlikely to ever lift up on its own. You can find the tape primer in pen form if I recall for a bit cheaper than the small cans
@@TapticDigital Okay! Thank you for the info
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.
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.
Where do you get the adhesive to hold it together?
Tesa acrylic double-sided tape, usually the 2mm width.
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.
What is the heat mat called you used to soften the adhesive?
@@jonathancarter2717 CPB Heating Pad from CPB Tools
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
And does the pen still work after the replacement?
@@pedrocamara7671 yes but I have seen two versions for this one, one that works with pencil and one that doesn’t so definitely check with the vendor
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
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).
I broke my latch/clip that connects the home button. Would I have to replace the motherboard. Or just buy another ipad 😩
@@212Calvins usually you can still slide the ribbon in, use a piece of electrical or kapton tape to hold it down, and still have it function. Otherwise a repair shop should be able to replace that connector pretty easily with some soldering
@@TapticDigital thank you
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! 😉
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
The first tutorial I watched didn't have me disconnect the battery.
Now the iPad won't turn on. How would I go about fixing this?
Thanks
@@bradleycrookshank4891 time to disconnect that battery! I’d start by opening it, and first disconnecting the battery. You should remove the screw and then take a thin piece of plastic or a playing card and gently slide it under the battery connector to make sure the battery is fully disconnected. Then unplug and replug all the display ribbons and try again!
@@TapticDigital that worked! I can't get the home button to work but everything else is great.
Thanks!
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you!
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!!
Followed this guide. Everything appeared to go great. It connects to WiFi but can’t access the internet. I took it back apart and checked the WiFi antenna and it appears fine. Any ideas?
Alright you talked me into it, I guess I’m gonna give this a shot!
This definitely talked me OUT of it since repair prices (for the glass) aren’t unreasonable in my area and I’m sure I’d break something else in there with my gorilla hands.
After change lcd, true tone still have or missing?
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.
Do you have to replace the digitizer if only the glass is broken? Or can I just replace the glass and only the glass
The digitizer is actually fused into the glass, they are one piece, one part. The LCD on the other hand is not, and doesn’t need to be replaced if it’s still working and undamaged.
@@TapticDigital yeah that’s what I meant! lol thanks!
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! 😊
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.
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
Can you put a link for the 3m tape primer that you used?
Added to the description for you!
I just replaced the screen and it all works great, except now the battery isn't charging. It turns on and chimes when I plug in the charger, but the battery never goes above 0%. This wasn't an issue before I replaced the screen. Is there something I may have bumped? I know that the battery screw is tight because I made a point to check that before closing it up. Thanks!
So the charge port has a bracket that holds it to the frame, held by two Phillips screws. These get loose from general use but also stay down because of the glass over them. But when you open it, it can loosen them up. If possible I’d heat and CAREFULLY reopen the glass, tighten those two screws and give it another chance.
@@TapticDigital I just did what you advised and it WORKED!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for the quick (and correct) response!!! You're awesome! I will definitely be recommending your channel to everyone I know! Thanks! :)
I have a question: if the glass is intact around the home button and most of the shattered glass is on the other side of the ipad, can I replace glass without replacing home button?
As long as the home button isn’t damaged you should never replace it, it contains your Touch ID functionality and if it’s replaced, Touch ID is gone for good.
How much does a screen replacement cost roundabout?
What kind of gloves are you wearing?
@@nicpayne4130 Gloveworks HD, 8mil. I fix a lot of phones that have been in toilets
so I replaced my screen, I could not recover the touch id as the ribben got cut somehow. Now the ipad keeps having the zoom pop open and close as I am trying to set up the ipad, it doesn't let me touch anything very well. Did I do something wrong with the install? It's an 8th Gen, with an 8th gen glass (as far as I know since thats what the seller said I bought and paid for)
Ghost touching is pretty common in iPad screen unfortunately. Sometimes it is just a loose connector, sometimes a torn ribbon, but sometimes it is just defective.
@@TapticDigital damn.. yah that’s exactly what it’s doing. I tried reseatting everything a few times but it’s still doing it. Might just be defective.. damn.
@@TapticDigital should it be happening even when the digitizer is not plugged in?
@@MantisFoxx2 definitely not, if no digitizer is connected it shouldn't be making any selections on the screen. That could be board damage to the connector, could be something stuck in it as well. Take a close look at the connector and make sure all the teeth look straight. One of the digitizer connectors seems to always plug in perfect, while the other doesn't fele quite right, at least in my experience. Sometimes I have to reconnect that specific one a few times to get it just right
@@TapticDigital the two cables from
The digitizer and the home button aren’t even connected and it’s flickering with the zoom option as well as the location of the zoom box is moving around
Where do you get your screens from?
Typically MobileSentrix or Injured Gadgets
My repair went super smooth until I went to turn the iPad on and nothing. What could cause that? Its plugged in and no luck
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.
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
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?
how much does it cost to get one fixed
Usually about $130 at most shops
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
Hi, I want to know if I use heat to remove the glue from the screen, will it affect my lcd display? I heard from my friend that a repair shop fixed her ipad screen and her lcd display now have this crease looking paper like display. Is it the repair shop mistake or it is okay to use it?
Shop mistake, happens when you overheat the front or let it sit too long without checking it. Getting it “pretty warm” and then using isopropyl and a razor will get it open without risking the LCD
@@TapticDigital The shop said that what had happened to the lcd display depends on the luck of the ipad owners. I dont know if the shop lied or not. But thank you so much for your reply. It is very 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. 🎉
"Would you rather A) replace the display of an ipad or B)..."
"B!"
"You didn't let me finish, what if I said 'B) give free bjs to 20 people'?"
"The answer would still be B."
Did this repair today and messed up. I scratched the display while cutting the glue and I cut the home button cable despite your warnings. The display still works, the scratch is only visible when black and the homebutton from the replacement digitizern works without fingerprint. This was the best instruction video that I EVER found on the internet. Thank you so much! I liked your comments about apple. If I worked in Apples development crew, I would probably tell my kids that I'm a stripper. Or a beggar.
@@deep470 iPads and Nintendo Switch Lites are my least favorite repairs. I feel like the execs at Apple said “make an iPhone with a big screen but just as thin” and the engineers said “ok but how do you want it to go together and work?” To which the execs said “idk lol, just make it fit and use a bunch of glue”
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!
I heard the apple pencil gives issues after the screen is replaced is it true
@@johndrippergaming depends on the replacement digitizer. Some work well, but some don’t play nice with the pencil.
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 :)
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
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!
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
Help i broke the home button latch what do I do?
Super common problem, push the ribbon in as far as it goes, then use a piece of tape over top to hold it in place. Ideally I'd say replace the latch, but tape will hold just fine.
Thanks I’ll try it
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
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.
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 👌🏾

@@AydanSmith-gx2vy definitely don’t force it, that can bend the pins underneath. Gently lift the board up in that area and that should be enough to “disconnect” the battery. Technically it’s okay if the battery is still connected as long as you are absolutely certain the device is powered off.

Hi can you help in screen replacement of my iPad
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
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
How much will it take to fix this?
Most shops seem to be charging around $150 for a replacement, though it may have gone down depending on part cost.
I'm looking into repairing the ipad that are broken WEEKLY at the school, we send them to a place about 2hrs away as almost costs $150 AUD each ipad and were sending about 2-6/wk. Whats my best way of cleaning the screen from dust ect, I feel that a microfiber will scratch. Cheers
I strongly recommend getting some cheap tempered glass protectors for all iPads, even the cheaper glass ones work quite well. As for cleaning, if it’s the glass a microfiber is absolutely fine. You can also use a soft cloth with some windex or high concentration isopropyl alcohol (I actually mix these in a bottle at 50/50 and call it Booze+ as a joke). Cleaning the LCD itself it another story, no windex, and absolutely nothing containing ammonia. Make sure to use a super clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe it in a circular motion. Gentle is the keyword, you aren’t trying to scrub it or even apply much pressure like you would with glass. If it still won’t clean, add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth itself, not the LCD, and try a slight bit more pressure in a circular motion again.
I’ve worked on tons of school iPads, and typically have to give them a full wipe down with the windex and alcohol combo because it isn’t just the screens that are gross. A cheap case and screen protector go a long way, but I can assure you that kids will absolutely find a way to mangle the poor tablets regardless, though maybe a bit less.
@@TapticDigital
Hey, well recently we upgraded to 10th gen iPads that have a screen protector around the case. But we still have atleast 300 9th gens, we are waiting for funding to get more 10th. However they are in cases and are normal Cleaned often which is a bonus, normally it's just students or staff walking with them and bumping into something and drops it - these cases are mainly the apple folios.
I just thought I could do the job a bit cheaper, and get paid for it which the tech above me said that's fine, I just need to send them invoices.
Thankyou for your help man, I appreciate it.
Which primer brand you are using?
3M tape primer!
Hi mine is like this one can you do mine how much will it be?
These usually cost around $100-$150. Check some local repair shops with good reviews in your area
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.
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!
Can you save touch id? And how
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!
@@TapticDigital gadgetfix does not have a good warranty. stay away
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.
Nope
You can also back it up to a computer first without using the screen
Where can I get a good quality replacement screen?
I usually go through Injured Gadgets or GadgetFix for those!
Thank you !! your video helped me to replace the screen on my iPad !!!
I love to hear it!
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.
