Just to clear up any confusion, this is a second series along side Profit or Loss called Joey Learns. I’m trying to look into other electronics as suggested, and this is hopefully the start! 😊❤
I do maintenance on cell phones to remove the screen it must heat up and instead of using these tools try using an x-ray sheet or those sheets that come cold protecting the screen protection films but be careful not to cut the screen flex this can also to happen
I like the Joey Learns episodes. Way more interesting than the usual PS5/Switch/Xbox repair. Those are good too, but the videos seem to be all the same.
Great work here Joey! I wasn't expecting this iPad to come back to life to be honest. This is the reason why I pass the Apple repairs on to someone else. They're such a pain unless you've got the right equipment and the right equipment isn't cheap!
Heating mat infinitely helps screen removal, no need for hot air if you have one. I usually just use IPA and an “ultra thin screen spudger”, it’s like a thin flexible metal spudger but it cuts through glue better. Great repair!
16:00 it's not corrosion itself that's conductive (unless wet, not at all conductive when dry), it's the salts/ions in the water that make it conductive (except it's not electrons moving - it's ions in the water), and as it conducts electricity, the reaction (electrolysis) generates highly corrosive substances (for example pure elemental chlorine that immediately reacts with metals - the corrosion you see is just tin/copper/nickel salts, possibly some oxides), eating away at the solder/copper/pins/pads/traces (afaik, the reactions are actually somewhat similar to those used in the process of charging batteries). Eventually, enough of the metal reacts that you no longer have a good contact, and you lose power/signal to something, or damage a component
As about caps around IC-s. Most of them are the decoupling caps. Not all of them, but most of them. So putting there something in range of 40 - 200nF should work. Also with caps - it's hard to break something by putting smaller/bigger cap. Worst case scenario - it will not work as intended.
That was the best segue way into an ad I’ve seen in ages 😂 good luck as someone who has worked on thousands of iPads! The brand new ones are really rough to repair. Older generations like 8 and below are a lot easier! Just got to be careful of the Touch ID cables.
Hey Joey, Apple seem to use a bunch of capacitors for filtering so as you found, removing a singular cap usually doesn't hurt things. You could remove one (or both) of the others nearby it and put them onto a component checker and find out the (possibly) correct value.
I would recommend something like a stainless steel pry blade thingy. It is very thin, like 0.1mm and can get under the screen without cracking it. That blue thing you used is way too thick. I am pretty sure ifixit has them in some of their tool boxes.
I was fixing Apple Macboks for 5 years. I stopped 3 years ago. They are just so much more work and whilst rewarding to fix, you could do 3 Playstations in the time it takes to get the screen off an ipad!
So just to clarify, cause I've seen you or other repair techs do this as well, but removing fried or shorter caps doesn't necessarily remove the functionality of the device. In some cases the manufacturers place multiple capacitors on a point. But in some cases the reduced capacitance would affect the circuit. So is removing them and checking if it works without the component a gamble? You just try to see if it works and if it doesn't you resort to replacing it? I guess I'm actually asking when would you replace the capacitor and when would you leave it off? Thanks and keep up the great work
Glad to see the type of devices you've chosen to work on for Joey Learns so far. I had actually left a comment on S1 of Profit or Loss suggesting laptops and Apple devices, I know many others did as well, so I'm definitely happy to see this. I definitely enjoy Profit or Loss, but I like watching you have to approach things you're unfamiliar with as well, especially like this where you had no info or 10th Gen iPad experience to go off of, and still found the problem. Thanks for the great episode, keep it up Joey!
Not bad, glad to hear you got it working again! I'd be tempted to fit a new digitizer, then ask the original owner if he wants the iPad back or not (and if so, whether he wants a new display or not).
With ipad screens I don't use the guitar picks. They just aren't thin enough. I always use plastic cards instead. They work really well. Just for future reference for ya.
Really surprised you haven’t worked on an iPad before. I hate working on the newer ones as the glass is so fragile. They used to have such thick glass and it was a lot harder to have an issue with breaking
My first and so far only time getting a screen off I managed to not crack it... but I did insert my tool too far in with too much force and the screen also no longer works
Joey DOES Learn! You know from NRF that a bad cap is usually the bad guy. Glad to see you learning on different devices, and that your experience with the items you know and love helped you along the way. You're a great tech and a brilliant entertainer, keep being yourself and you will go a long ways in the end, guaranteed. Cheers Joey, your daughter sounds cute as a button.
On the ipads the easiest thing is taking off the screen. The most hard thing is taking out the motherboard because its glued (adhesive straps) to the actual chassis. Been working on ipads about 2 years and done all models because its my everyday work.
Joey Use more alcohol and buy a heatingpad and doit slowly And if you have guitar pick under the screen you should put alcohol on the guitar pick continusly not a lot but a few drop always
Light IPA out of a syringe to soften the adhesive with some heat use precision knives to get the screen up remember to take it slow be careful of rippen cables and use guitar pics to keep the side you got up open. To much heat or IPA in the wrong spot could damage the LCD sadly. After 5 years of breaking ipad screens I find this to work for me best but do what works best for you, theirs a many ways to skin a cat.
It's called a "tear down" for a reason, not a "tear apart", Joey! You had ONE JOB! _yells in general manager idiot voice_ xD That yelled, I'm greatly impressed by your journey, your determination and all that comes with it. If only this was a worthwhile or "wanted" (by the industry) "job", we (as a collective civilisation) would throw away sooooo much less stuff and repair it instead. Not saying that a lot of these faults seem like planned obsolescence, but they can be fixed.
Problem with replacing parts is it's Apple. You never know, even with volume control and a ribbon cable, if they've put in a parts matching chip that tells the MB to not work if they don't match.
Expensive oops but I fixed many iPads but those are not my favorite due to the expense of equipment to reprogram the sensors and screen besides the digitizer is too expensive
lifting the screen is not the hardest part - you skipped the worst part because your glass was not shattered. The worst part of an iPad repair are the small glass bits with glue on the backside. They fall to the ground and stick there.. super annoying
Even apple have broke my display from my iphone 12 pro max changing the battery, they have replaced battery and full new display. So dont feel bad when even apple can broke screens.
Just as a heads up, don't tell people that you fail the repair at the beginning of the video as it spoils the viewing experience and I switched off within the 1st minute

"This is easy" proceeds to crack screen straight away 😂
I was there live for this. That crack shattered the JDT community hahahahaha, we all heard it and felt it in our souls
SPOILERRR
😂
At least the lcd is separated to the Glass so its Cheaper to replace
I like the Joey Learns episodes. Way more interesting than the usual PS5/Switch/Xbox repair. Those are good too, but the videos seem to be all the same.
1:29 "Thats EAsy enough, right? This is Easy, huh? We can take this apart EEEEEEAsy?!"
there is a special place in hell reserved for the guy that invented the glued together devices with delicate glass screens
great job
Mansory glue for handhelds? If you know you know 🤣🤣
The infuriating thing is that when they were demonstrating Gorilla Glass years ago almost nothing could break the glass...
3:45 This is the moment you were waiting for...
Chat was being a bit savage there lmao
Good call on giving it away. I think that's the best course of action under these conditions.
Loving this series thus far!

To the person who told joey to order a screen before he even tried.. I love you, you made my day better xDDD
Jesus the transition to the sponsor though haha

I really enjoyed this one. Great job bringing it back to life !!
Nicely done! Except for the digitizer, which anyone could have broken. Great Repair and Video Joey! Thank you.
This was an awesome learning experience and cool of you to just give this away after fixing!
More of this kind of devices keep going ❤
I love those episodes w different electronics
Watching this on an iPad 10th gen… nice fix and very interesting to see inside 😊
As about caps around IC-s. Most of them are the decoupling caps. Not all of them, but most of them. So putting there something in range of 40 - 200nF should work.
Also with caps - it's hard to break something by putting smaller/bigger cap. Worst case scenario - it will not work as intended.
Loved this. Best episode of the channel so far.
Thank you!
Glad to see the diversification for learning, always enjoy watching your content 😎
Hi joey , very unfortunate that LCD is damage overall good job
IPA around the edge of the digitiser whilst lifting is a godsend
That was the best segue way into an ad I’ve seen in ages 😂 good luck as someone who has worked on thousands of iPads! The brand new ones are really rough to repair. Older generations like 8 and below are a lot easier! Just got to be careful of the Touch ID cables.
Great series !
You're generally not taking the screen off unless the screen is damaged anyway, it can be done but probably with a lot of practice.
Sorin always uses rosin for liquid damage. It isolates the contacts when fully dry. Maybe try that
I love joey videos im far too invested at this point
Hey Joey, Apple seem to use a bunch of capacitors for filtering so as you found, removing a singular cap usually doesn't hurt things. You could remove one (or both) of the others nearby it and put them onto a component checker and find out the (possibly) correct value.

Love these episodes as I learn a lot too, nice job!!
I was fixing Apple Macboks for 5 years. I stopped 3 years ago. They are just so much more work and whilst rewarding to fix, you could do 3 Playstations in the time it takes to get the screen off an ipad!
Are there any videos with Joey fixing computer GPUs? I would love to see those in the learning series if not done already.
So just to clarify, cause I've seen you or other repair techs do this as well, but removing fried or shorter caps doesn't necessarily remove the functionality of the device. In some cases the manufacturers place multiple capacitors on a point. But in some cases the reduced capacitance would affect the circuit.

I guess I'm actually asking when would you replace the capacitor and when would you leave it off? Thanks and keep up the great work
I really enjoyed this series episode, you do what I like to do exploring without proper tools and learn, keep it continue. Thank you Joey.
What would be the implications of having that cap removed long term? Are you planning on replacing it? Great episode as always!
Glad to see the type of devices you've chosen to work on for Joey Learns so far.

My jaw dropped when you found the shorted cap and the applied power and it fired up, wow that was miraculous
Fix the rest and give it to your child
Great fix by the way good job
Not bad, glad to hear you got it working again! I'd be tempted to fit a new digitizer, then ask the original owner if he wants the iPad back or not (and if so, whether he wants a new display or not).
Simply Amazing
5:36 Yeah definitely recommend the heat mat lol.
Superb fix!!! Joey breaks tech 😂
Hi Joey, I get a few for recycling - what's the model from the back? (it'll begin with an A) and I'll see what I have!
With ipad screens I don't use the guitar picks. They just aren't thin enough. I always use plastic cards instead. They work really well. Just for future reference for ya.
Nice job joey
Really surprised you haven’t worked on an iPad before. I hate working on the newer ones as the glass is so fragile. They used to have such thick glass and it was a lot harder to have an issue with breaking
After 3 hours. I finally managed to watch the video and congratulations on fixing! It was so great to watch!
Makes great content Joey. Remember most products they don't want u t fix so you are beating the system at the same time and the big corporations
Indeed crzay disassembly
My first and so far only time getting a screen off I managed to not crack it... but I did insert my tool too far in with too much force and the screen also no longer works

Cheers Joey, your daughter sounds cute as a button.
The crack journey is something we’ve all been through… sometimes it’s just a plastic clip… sometimes it’s a £95 digitiser… thems the breaks…
Joey would the mainboard getting an ultrasonic clean help with longevity to whoever owns this later?

Spoiler saver
What a great job!💪🏼
Hey joey, what arm are you using to hold your microscope?
On the ipads the easiest thing is taking off the screen. The most hard thing is taking out the motherboard because its glued (adhesive straps) to the actual chassis. Been working on ipads about 2 years and done all models because its my everyday work.
As was mentioned in the stream... not knowing to lick suction cups.
Niiice one! Keep it going on the apple’s. They are not that bad once u get to work a bit on them.
I remember the same reaction when we started to learn all together years ago with ds lite ❤❤❤
Let’s go Froz! Hope you’re well :)
@@JoeyDoesTech everything good 😊😊😊
Joey
Use more alcohol and buy a heatingpad and doit slowly
And if you have guitar pick under the screen you should put alcohol on the guitar pick continusly not a lot but a few drop always
Cool joey🎉
@joeydoestech
What kind of usb meter is that? Need a new one kinda like the onscreen functionality you have there
I refuse to work on Apple stuff these days but when I did I used dental floss to separate the screen
Light IPA out of a syringe to soften the adhesive with some heat use precision knives to get the screen up remember to take it slow be careful of rippen cables and use guitar pics to keep the side you got up open. To much heat or IPA in the wrong spot could damage the LCD sadly. After 5 years of breaking ipad screens I find this to work for me best but do what works best for you, theirs a many ways to skin a cat.
I always use a plastic card to remove the screen. Guitar pick is too thick to use with this delicate screens

Hey Joey, have a quick question. So um my Xbox one has a revving noise in the fan and it’s not turning on. Do u know what the problem is?
I usually use poker playing cards to separate the touch screen from the besal/case to avoid cracking it.
Problem with replacing parts is it's Apple. You never know, even with volume control and a ribbon cable, if they've put in a parts matching chip that tells the MB to not work if they don't match.
Bro. Do you not own a dc variable power supply?
I joined the stream exactly on the crack moment :'D Well that will make a nice drawing tablet or DnD notebook e.g. for someone lucky
JoeyDestroysTech S1:E02... 😂
Expensive oops but I fixed many iPads but those are not my favorite due to the expense of equipment to reprogram the sensors and screen besides the digitizer is too expensive
Watch Jerry Rig bro come onnnnnn
You need isopropyl alcohol
Those guitar picks are too thick. Friend of mine uses plastic playing cards and it works fantastic. They are thin and cheap and you will avoid cracks
Glass is glass and glass …
mmmmmmmmmm, Haribo...
lifting the screen is not the hardest part - you skipped the worst part because your glass was not shattered.
The worst part of an iPad repair are the small glass bits with glue on the backside. They fall to the ground and stick there..
super annoying
I´m no expert, but is the ipad not water resistant? Weird i think.
i dont remember apple saying that, i dont think it is the case
No
Hairybo
Even apple have broke my display from my iphone 12 pro max changing the battery, they have replaced battery and full new display. So dont feel bad when even apple can broke screens.
Just as a heads up, don't tell people that you fail the repair at the beginning of the video as it spoils the viewing experience and I switched off within the 1st minute
Ahh so you really didn't watch the end then? :D
Watch till the end man start it up again you would be surprised, if you know joey at all you'll know he does this alot hes being realistic is all
Just as a heads up, watch the video.
Those gloves... gross... thanks for the video though!
What a terrible design, well done apple
day 18 of asking joey for his fluke multimeter
