Just replaced mine, worked great. Another couple tips, make sure the ribbon cables are pushed in completely tight and test before sealing it up. Finally, you will need to reboot the iPad by holding both the home and power buttons.
for those installing a new touch screen. Make sure you remove all the old adhesive first. I find I get a way better bond when i completely remove all the old adhesive and start with a fresh clean surface for the new adhesive to bond too.
Thanks so much for the video. My ipad had dead spots on the screen and was driving me crazy. I watched the video and thought I'll give it a go.... So glad I did its work's perfectly now cheers 👍
So why in every other video removing the screen, does the screen break and crumble away as you remove it, but in your video it's like running a hot knife through butter? Was this an actual screen removal with the original adhesive?
We perform multiple tear downs to show different repair process on the iPad. As you stated the original adhesive is very strong and will take more work to remove. We apologize for any confusion. Our purpose here is to show a removal process that you would take to remove the screen on the device.
how hot does Iit have to be I used both a blow dryer and heat gun and I feel like I'm not getting it right. Do I go completely against the grey case or is there a slot in the black area I have to split it?
+John Pickard (f012s4k3n0n3) You'll want to use enough heat to soften the adhesive, but not enough to melt the plastic bezel. A rule i follow is hot enough to be uncomfortable to the touch but not enough to cause a burn. You want to go between the glass and plastic bezel, not the plastic bezel and aluminium housing.
What's that little pieces beside the home button do..? The ribbon circuit board part of mine was exposed after the screen was smashed and ended up tearing off when I slid it into its case one day but still works relatively fine.. Any ideas on what it could be..?
hello thank you for your very easy and informative tutorial. is it necessary to purchase the bezel with the screen or can this repair be done just with the screen and adhesive strips? thanks
+Mirza Executioner_HD You would want to follow the guide as shown up until the touch screen is completely removed. The flex cable connection is under the LCD.
Please help me. Im using ipad 4. There is a part of the screen that when you touch it, it doesnt respond but some part of the screen responds. Example when you type then you press the letter U but it doesnt type it in the screen but some of the letters respond. Please help. Thanks
+Sean Patrick Borge You can attempt a hard reset by holding the power button and home button for ten seconds. No data will be lost but it sounds like a defective touch screen. Replacing your iPad 4 Touch screen replacement would resolve this if the hard reset does not work.
+Jasmine Helme (Polyclayxxx) Double check your flex cables to ensure they are seated properly. You can also perform a hard reset, hold the home button and power button for ten seconds. If the issues continue, it's possible you have a faulty screen replacement.
it happened to me yesterday too. the cable must be perfectly attached in its socket. it might look like that it's correctly attached but a tiny move can stop it from working. so push it as much as you can without breaking it do it with extreme caution.
Hi, thanks for the informative upload. I was wondering how important is it to ensure all of the Regions adhesive is removed before replacing the screen? Do I have to scrape all of it off? I'm mainly worried of potentially damaging something while scraping as I've heard that it's difficult to remove. Thanks in advance for the reply...😊
+IndoEireannGirl It's recommend to clean the surface as best you can. This way when you add the new component, it sits as flush as possible similar to how you received it from the factory.
Hello, I see this vid was posted a while ago but I'm still hoping you will respond. I followed these directions to a T! Everything went fine but now my ipad Wont even come back on. What do you think could have happened??? HELP!!! Do you have Any troubleshooting suggestions??
I kept looking for answers and it was the simplest fix! Lol I just had to do a reset by holding the power button and home key simultaneously. Thanks so much for responding!
To verify the model, there is a number that begins with "A" followed by 4 digits on the back of your device. If you google the model number, this will verify whether it is a 3 or 4. Some of the parts are interchangeable between these models, that is why it may say "3,4".
+JoeV1998 Carefully peel the ribbon from the digitizer, slide an opening tool(sesamo, playing card, guitar pick) under the two sides of the home button bracket pop out the physical button. clean the bracket of the ld adhesive and apply new adhesive and transfer it to the new digitizer. Thanks for the question.

I found myself getting anxious while watching your video. Excellent guidance and visual. So why was I getting anxious. The obnoxious music 😂

Thanks! Just what I needed, though you forgot the part about getting shards of a shattered screen into your fingers.
lol true
Been there
Thanks so much for the video. My ipad had dead spots on the screen and was driving me crazy. I watched the video and thought I'll give it a go....
So glad I did its work's perfectly now cheers 👍
Can you tell me if I can use lcd and other parts from a locked iPad or is it only some parts
Does this repair kit come with the replacement glass or do I have to purchase them separately. Thank You
YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY, THANKS, I WILL FOLLOW. YOUR LEAD!!!
Believe me it's not as easy as it looks getting the old screen cleanly and completely off can be a nightmare
Thank you so much...Followed the instructions and go my iPad 4 screen changed..It is working perfectly
+Peter Vals bullshit
Seth Nichols Bullshit????
Hi ordered the iPad 4 Touch Screen digitizer with home button assembly.... Is this the front screen and will be all I need to fix a cracked screen?
Thank u so much for the enlargements
So if it's just my screen that is smashed and I can still see pictures (I.e I'm watching this thru it) then I can just chang the glass. Am I correct?
+Mari Douglas Correct, you would just want to replace your touch screen. As the LCD is not damaged, no need to replace it.
I got my screen but am too scared to try fix it. One of these days I will get it done...
If you need any assistance or have any questions in the process, we're here to help!
@@Fixez Im scared too, now! I have songs in garageband that I desperately need to retrieve. If I screw it up, are they lost forever? 😱😱😱

Great video and instrucctinos. I have a question abou touchscreens that are not Apple, do they work? Do they fit? Thank you for your time.

Whit if you only have to fix the front of the iPad because it's cracked and all broken do you have to do all of this
What's that little pieces beside the home button do..? The ribbon circuit board part of mine was exposed after the screen was smashed and ended up tearing off when I slid it into its case one day but still works relatively fine.. Any ideas on what it could be..?
Might be the wireless antenna
Fix mine I broke one of the locks but screen still works
On a scale of 1 to 10, how easy is this compared to other devices?
hello thank you for your very easy and informative tutorial. is it necessary to purchase the bezel with the screen or can this repair be done just with the screen and adhesive strips? thanks
If just the front glass is a little cracked shall I go through all the steps or just take of the plastic screen and replace it?
+Mirza Executioner_HD You would want to follow the guide as shown up until the touch screen is completely removed. The flex cable connection is under the LCD.
+Fixez.com thanks
You're welcome. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.
what happens if there's a gap between the lcd and digitizer when I put the new screen back on? hope for a quick reply
+Brian ramirez There will be a minor gap as the LCD and digitizer are not fused together. However, it should not be a large gap.
so if my screen is just cracked I don't need to mess with the LCD right?
Excellent demo! Thanks!! 😄

What if you're just replacing the LCD? Can you reuse the glue from the original screen?
yes they do it in this video actually
Acreage Living Thanks. I just installed an LCD. All is well.

*previous not Regions btw, autocorrect - bane of my typing life!
+IndoEireannGirl It's recommend to clean the surface as best you can. This way when you add the new component, it sits as flush as possible similar to how you received it from the factory.
the glue is already in the new glass?
+andre druciak chagas The replacement digitizers should come with new adhesive already installed.
andre druciak chagas mine didn't
Very useful video. Very clear steps, great tips, and it worked perfectly. So thank you very much for this video.

Lol I’m glad your figured it out
@@luxurybrown before see this reply i was near to tell you the same
Does anybody know how to tell the difference between an iPad 3 and 4 because on any website it says 3,4 well that helps:) so please tell me
To verify the model, there is a number that begins with "A" followed by 4 digits on the back of your device. If you google the model number, this will verify whether it is a 3 or 4. Some of the parts are interchangeable between these models, that is why it may say "3,4".
go to the back of your ipad and look for the model # then type that model# on google, and it should tell you what gen it is.
How do I take the hone button of the original screen?
+JoeV1998 Carefully peel the ribbon from the digitizer, slide an opening tool(sesamo, playing card, guitar pick) under the two sides of the home button bracket pop out the physical button. clean the bracket of the ld adhesive and apply new adhesive and transfer it to the new digitizer. Thanks for the question.
