Attention! The current available parts for iPad Mini ship without the digitizer control circuit!
We recommend reusing the original one, for that you will need to
- Carefully separate the original from the digitizer's flex cable (using heat)
- Replace and glue in the control circit onto the replacement part (align the leads well)

Use dental floss under the screen to get through the glue so you are not prying up on the LCD to limit the risk of damaging your lcd.
Excellent tip helped me a lot
Good tip, will try on next device
Thanks for the video. Most informative I found and the suction cup method is, without a doubt, the best way to get the removal started. Everyone else recommended a razor blade which will scratch the finish if you're not EXTREMELY careful. Appreciate all the time you put into this.
Thanks for your great video. With your help I successfully replaced the flickering LCD on my daughter's Ipad mini. I replaced the screen at the same time because I was expecting to break it when removing it. Very pleased that I managed to remove without damaging the screen so I now have a spare one.
By the way I used the suction pad from my Go pro suction cup mount. It is so powerful I could have pulled the screen off without the use of a blade.
For those of you who are asking about how much heat to use, the glue becomes soft when it is a bit higher than body temperature. Keep that heat gun on there for too long and you may well destroy the other components inside, particularly the lithium battery!
Suction cup can be found on the soap holder in the bathroom,
alternatively there is one shipped with the iPad Mini digitizer sold by LaptopScreen
Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen this one before fixing my 1st mini--really easy to crack and/or overeat/discolor the LCD screen if you are not careful loosening the glue. This method is one of the better for getting digitizer safely separated.
good idea to TEST digitzer and LCD before you close it.
or else you'll have to put new adhesive.
If you have cracks on the screen, it is better to apply the duct tape on the screen before taking it off, then you don't need to worry about scattering the glass around.
Thanks for posting this video!
Great video, thank you!!! Very clear instructions. I replaced the glass of my mini Ipad and works like new.
Thanks so much! My process didn't go without some issues but I couldn't have pulled through it without your awesome instruction. Most importantly, my iPad works!
The best vid on screen replacement I've seen well done and thanks. 👏🏼
Removing 3 layers to repair the top layer... what a terrible design!
Great video. Thank you!
Its made like this on purpose to deter you from repairing it yourself.
It's much better than the designs as it cheaper to repair if only the front glass needs replacing
just ordered a kit for my ipad mini 1st gen that i haven’t used in years because of the broken screen, hoping ill be able to access old photos
Received in perfect condition, the item said it needed to be signed for but I didn't. I love it. Bought my mom one for her birthday on Amazon prime day
the video was spot on, took me about 45mins and works as good as new that you for posting this, hint the glass is a little tough ti get off
Scott Abdo took me less than 10 minutes but probably because I have so me this with ipad air and a couple iPhones makes good money trust. Me about 90 dollars profit all the time
Thanks! This is a great video. It's hard to screw up with these instructions.
Thank you so much!!
I fix it one already with this video
Exactly the information that I needed. Thank you so much, your instruction is excellent.
I find those screws right next to the magnet stupidly hard to put back in if you have an ifixit like I do use the twicers the look like needles at the end to hold them I'll make it easyer
Liked your video.I have a blank screen created by moisture, not directly dropped in water. It gradually spread and finally went dark. I can hear a beep when connecting the power cable, but no other sights or sounds. Screen looks good. I slightly opened and tried to dry it out with some hair blower heat. I have new screen and digitizer but am beginning to feel the problem is probably the lcd. I can and have backed it up on my mac. Questions: 1. does it sound like the lcd? 2. Will I also need to replace the screen? 3. How can I tell if it is powered on or off before I start?
My ipad mini felt and now i can barely see whats on the screen like if the resulution would be really really low what can i do? thank you so much
Really good video, well done no, BS just simple and straight forward directions. Thanks, thinking of giving it a go myself.
Hey just a quick tip, when you have both the lcd and glass tilted over, instead of holding it the whole time you can place a suction cup behind the glass and have it rest on it.
Thank you. I broke my lcd trying to fix my screen last Christmas trying to get a new screen on
Same here buddy
thanks for uploading this video i success to repair digitizer and LCD
Well made 'how to' video with excellent instructions! Thanks :-)
smashed screen and part of the corner of led screen help
One important part that's missing is the magnets. There are two magnets on the digitizer. The new one from ebay usually does not come with them. If you don't notice, you will not be able to use the smartcover. I missed and threw them away with the broken digitizer. Only after I put on the smartcover, I realized.
Can vouch for LaptopScreen, these guys sell these screens almost at cost and they are so easy to install its insane that electronic stores can charge so much to repair screens.
Anyone know if a glasses kit would be a good idea to use for the screw driver size?
Thanks, followed this to the point, and it worked!
Thank you just did my daughters iPad and works perfectly
I replaced only my digitizer with IC already attached. The ditigizer works fine when not glued down. As soon as I glue it down the lower left hand corner off the screen starts activating randomly, and idea?
When I reinstalled the digitizer and LCD, I tested the screen and it was very dim. I checked the LCD connection and it was aligned properly. Any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thank you for this i have now done it but i used a plastic knife not metal but it works fine now
very informative and right to the point, Not like some videos where the speaker drags it out talking about who knows what.THANK YOU
Thank you Charles! Completely agree, will keep on getting right to the point :)
You are referring to the digitizer IC piece.
We now sell no-solder-required kits for iPad Mini.
Most screen digitizer being replaced has a black plastic tape covering the home button up to the flex cable being connected. Meaning the back of the home button shouldnt be exposed. Why is this diferent will it still function?
I replaced my screen digitizer.
I must have done something to the charging port motherboard..
everything works except it won’t take a charge or show up on my computer ITunes.. once the new battery dies..I can’t recharge.. any tips? I did about 10 different cleaning procedures to port.. I see I scratched one of the 2 long thin bronze colored Metal parts coming from the charging port, with a screw driver taking off the protective tape..
Thank you! This worked for me. Much appreciated.
this helps a lot! thank you
Did the new digitizer come with a home button? Thanks
on 2:18 SECOND of the video, how were you able to band/fold the LCD completely on top of screen, ??? And i broke my black color of screen on top of lcd while trying to take out LCD,
That was GREAT video
Thank you so so much wry well done !
Thanks man worked like a charm!
Very Helpful, Thank you 👍🏽
I accidentally rip one of the mount tapes from the LCD does that affect the LCD!? Because now i see the screen really low Bright
please show the details on how to re-attache the connection of the digitizer to its connector?. thanks
Very well done, thank you
I replace one mini ipad screen but I saw one of those magnets on the corners, what is that?
Hi I can you tell me what part of an i pad is the actual storage compartment? I think my iPad has a deeper issue. So I was wondering if i can remove the storage compartment and replace it into a second ipad.
Ugh, it's a chip on the logic board. If you want to know more look up Jessa Jones from iPad Rehab on UA-cam. You'd probably be better off sending the two iPads to her to do the work and pay for her time, its worth it if you really need to get your data. But at-least its doable.
Thanks man, you help me a lot..
Merry Christmas =D
_great_ video. Learning ipad repairs, I have watched quite a few of these. This one is one of the most thorough and best produced. Thankyou.
I have one question - where can I obtain the suction cup from?
Congratulations on your newly found fortune :)
First thing is to make sure the iPad is charged, it should display signs of life when the charger is connected.
If that doesn't help, then full tear down and careful inspection of ALL possible damage can net you some results.
Overall we'd rate such a project as "If you got nothing better to do" :)
Great company to deal with and a spot on tutorial. Easy to follow. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
hi, ipad mini 1st and 2nd gen uses same digitizer?
Yes, we do sell iPad Mini digitizers!
(Also no-solder-required ones)
very informative brothers thanks for sharing
So if my lcd display is fully functional I dont need to take it out?
Best guess: reconnect the digitizer.
If that doesn't work a new digitizer may be needed to restore functionality.
my ipad mini just broke n i have to do this
should only glue down after a small test to see if all is functioning then glue or you may run into the whole process again
how difficult is to repair the ipad mini screen for some one with no experience or rapairing skills?
could you give some advices and warnings to avoid making big mistakes?
is this the way to do the screen replacement without soldering??? i need a quick answer... thanks
How much would u charge me to fix my iPad mini??
I cannot get the screen off. I have heated all around the iPad for over 1 minute. it's hot on every corner but will still not come up with suction cup. I try to slide putty knife in but will not go in. help me please!!
Each time I try to affix the new screen to the tablet, its upper right and lower left sides pop up after a few hours, despite having more adhesive strips to keep them down, and I keep heating them and putting them weight to apply pressure and allow the adhesive to set in place. What am I doing wrong?
You could try to clean the adhering edges with alcohol. Clean both the inside of the iPad and the back of the digitizer. Clean it very thoroughly. Make sure all previous adhesive residue is removed and that the edges are dry and oil-free.
Great video and well made, Apple sure know how to make them with of screws in the way.
I thing there inner construction for the layout on the assembly is a bit primitive, but I guess the better resources in design layout got put more towards the circuitry, OS and outer look of the device (iPad, iPhone etc:::
What if I don’t have a suction cup though??
My granddaughter dropped the mini iPad on the floor yesterday cracked the whole screen .. Does anyone know how much it is to replace the screen and where to buy to replace will someone PLEASE help me 4.25.18 TY
I nailed it. It really isn't too hard, The again My screen was fine, just didn't like the colour.
This worked perfectly thanks .. my IPAD is like new .
wait what if we cant trurn off the iPad cause the screens not working???
I try to re-screw the 8 screws but the the sides of the iPad are magnetic
Hi, before ios 7 comes out, I want to be replace my ipad mini. Replacing an entirely new ipad sounds great, but its also really expensive. Then I found this video, and realized it is a lot cheaper, but it definitely looks risky. Incase i ever do think about doing this, can you give me any advice of doing this right so I won't risk breaking my ipad. How often do you think people watch this and get it right without breaking their devices without experience of practicing these steps?
Wow my sister that had more experience messed up her I pad and I wit no experience watched ur video and it came out purfect than you so much this was helpfull
You are great many thanks
((whilst I was replacing the shattered glass screen (digitiser?), I cracked the LCD also. Do I now have to replace this as well?
Yeah
True the mid-shield with all these screws is a little inconvenient,
however we have to point out, that with such shielding iPad mini could potentially survive EMP or solar flares in a cataclysmic event ;)
actually the ipad mini has magnet on both sides.
but this small magnets on the corners. what is that for?
Juan Rosales the iPad smart cover
Do you have to disconnect the battery before the new LCD/digitiser goes on? I know in some iPads it blows the backlight
Only if you are planning on shorting out the connector by trying to plug it in while its misaligned...
Yes, disconnecting the battery would help to prevent damage that could occur from shorting the connector.
Thank you best guide on youtube
Thanks so much for this wonderful video! I'm trying to replace my ipad mini screen digitizer, but it has a lot of shattered small pieces of glasses (on the edges) which is very difficult to remove due to the strong glues (see snipboard.io/wLSueN.jpg). Any tips or strategies to remove those completely before I can install the new digitizer? Thanks!
Thanks bro, fixed my sons iPad screen
Does the iPad mini replacement screen available on your website come with the home button and replacement cables already soldered as you show in your video? The picture on your website does not show the home button in place.
Thnks man..helping me to repair my bloved ipad mini 1
Happy to help
Can i use the old lcd if i just need to replace the digitizer
+Joe Salamone Yes, provided it doesn't crack during removal.
How do you know that both the LCD and Digitizer needs to be replaced??? I have an ipad mini that is cracked, but the LCD underneath still works.
hi my ipad mini is like broken? like it would move on its own, it would switch apps, type random letters, open apps and close apps, like it is posses or something,. I thought it was sofware issue but it wasnt, i believe it has something to do with the screen because one time i dropped it but there was no sign of damage so i thought it was fine
The digitizer is faulty. You are correct on it being the screen
Short vid but the best one👍
How do I know if my LCD is bad? My screen wasn’t broken but half of it is blurry...
It its pretty simple..The only problem I had was with the touch screen part.. My screen was completely shattered and I need a new one. Thats the hardest part you will come across..Also before you do this.. LOOK UP IPAD MINI SCREW CHART..Its a magnetic chart bigger than the ipad so you can place the screws on the chart that have the exact screw placements labeled.
So I’m trying to fix the iPad mini. I put finger prints on the LCD is there a way to remove this?
The best way to remove the fingerprints is by using a microfiber lens cleaning cloth (glasses wipes) and breathing on the affected spot then wiping.
I found that before disconnecting the LCD connector the battery connector should be removed. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the backlight fuse. Wish he would have mentioned that.
Yes now I think my backlight fuse is blown because he didn’t say anything about it
Kevin Finucane your supposed to turn off the device, and disconnect the battery first. But ive never had an issue with any iphone or ipad ive fixed where disconnecting the battery last (on accident) . The thing is if there is dust in those connectors, or anything, it can make a connection fail (which has happened for me on my 5s, the screen would turn in but the digitizer cable although in wouldnt work b/c of dust
Just check and make sure.
oh by the way great information thanks
omfg thank you so much !
Does replacing the screen require soldering at all? Thanks!
At the time of making of this tutorial, no replacement parts were available at all.
A month later, and for duration of several month, only "non ic" parts were available.
Now, we sell "no solder required" parts.
But you are most welcome to make a tutorial on your own that will show the soldering procedure - it will surely be greatly appreciated by everyone :) If you make it as a video reply - we'll make sure to post it!
My iPad is not start what is a problem give me a answer
doesnt response to my touch. please help
