    I watch a lot of "how to" stuff as I do computer repair professionally. I want you to know that this is THE FINEST repair video I have ever seen. Clear concise language, excellent quality video with perfect angles and lighting, all topics covered very well. Thank you so much! Great Job!

    my son dropped mine over a year ago and its been severely cracked ever since. This video is great because i was going to take my ipad to the electronic store but now i can do it myself. Shouldn't be too hard seeing that i work with guys in maintenance, they can help me too.

    I pulled it off. I about crapped myself when the wifi cable was snapped. the inner part was still glued to the frame so I just taped the outer cover to it. Still works great. The monitor screws were a pain in the butt. Had to buy a new precision screwdriver set. used 1.4 mm flat head on the tight screws and the #00 philips on the rest. Used a hairdryer on the edges to soften the adhesive. All in all this task wasn't really difficult as I feared. Thanks for this video.

    I just used this to replace my Ipad screen, the only advice I have that isnt mentioned is to make sure your battery is dead on your ipad so you dont short out anything when disconnecting any cables. Some people have issues where they short out something and the back light on their ipad stops working. Thanks!

    Just replaced my screen following this video. The video was very accurate. I would like to stress that if your digitizer breaks, you will likely be cut if not careful. I cut myself three times; be sure to take your time. Removing the digitizer took about an hour. Removing the adhesive/broken glass took another hour. The wireless antenna strip is very sensitive and will rip easily. Also note where the volume buttons are before removing the digitizer. So much can go wrong but I managed to succeed.

    Very useful. Just wondering if I missed the part where you put back the wifi antenna?

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    Take it apart, find the flex cable that got ripped, order the cable, remove and replace.
    Happened to us too, thats why the "danger zones" are highlighted in this video so prominently.
    Good news is that the newer iterations of iPad put more thought into protecting these cables for such situations.

  • @MUFFUGGER

    @SandyMcClintock 11 років тому

    Thanks - very useful tips and instructions. My iPad is working again after being run over by a car :( The screen was totally shattered into a million pieces. I even managed to push out the dents in the aluminium back.
    Re fitting the Home Button is not easy to get right. The positions for the double sided sticky patches in my kit were hard to figure out.

  • @Laptopscreen

    The digitizers we supply now do come with their own adhesive. Makes it much much easier.

  • @therestorationofdrwho1865
    @therestorationofdrwho1865 9 років тому +2

    you have to push the digitiser cable down while putting the screen down so it doesn't stop the screen going on, and make sure it goes down where it comes from, don't just squash it down, that'l damage it.

  • @hopewhitlock2297
    @hopewhitlock2297 10 років тому

    very helpful! i put tape over the really badly broken pieces of glass. also have a safe place to put screws!

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    Yes the ribbon needs to be tucked away under the edge. There should not be any short 180 degree folds (as described above), all excess ribbon should fit under the left edge.

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  12 років тому

    Contact pads... the pins are on the main body right underneath, so closing the digitizer puts the Home Button pads against the pins.

  • @ccrespo1975

    Thank you for video I was able to replace screen and lcd, the putty knife made removing glass easy. I saved $180 bucks doing it myself.

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    Great suggestion!
    Leaving a video playing on a loop until the iPad turns off should be good enough to do that.
    However we have to note - be extra patient, and make sure your movements are precise. Look before you act, think before you yank :)

    Hi there. Great video!! Is it safe to use a standard hair dryer to heat the adhesive rather than a heat gun? I'm not sure of the output temperate, any advice would be appreciated

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    Not yet, this can be said of iPhone starting from iPhone4, but not for iPads - these parts are still separate.

  • @yctruth
    @yctruth 9 років тому +2

    Good video, but I never saw you replace the mid frame molding. The old one came off when you took the old digitizer off do you not replace that?

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  12 років тому

    Wi-Fi antenna is not removed during digitizer replacement,
    it remains connected with the main body, only separated from the digitizer.

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    Admittedly this is the trickiest step. If the edge of your tool is too thick, it maybe a good idea to start with a sharper one like an exact-o-knife or a box cutter. Once inserted the putty knife can be used to continue the repair.

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  12 років тому

    Glass is the digitizer (or rather part of the glass underneath).
    If you want to fix the glass (digitizer) then you have to replace it.

  • @RetroRepair
    @RetroRepair 12 років тому

    Ugh looks like a lot of room for error. Does the OEM Apple digitizer not come with the tape applied? Are you just using normal 3M tape there? I'm not looking forward to this :-(

  • @Laptopscreen

    Hey quick question. Do you know if when I replace the Digitizer where the home button is connected to. I oredered a complete digitizer including home button to replace but I'm not sure if the home button is connected to anything and I can't find a vid where this is explained. Can you explain me how that works? Would be great!

    I did this all except for re adding the adhesive and putting on the glass screen. Everything is properly hooked up but my iPad isn't showing anything on the LCD screen. Did I do some thing wrong?

  • @unicursalhex
    @unicursalhex 12 років тому

    Thanks for the video. A couple of things: If your screen is severely fucked like mine was, a heat gun is necessary. Also, the characteristics of the glass make it break into very sharp, pointy shards that will slice the shit out of you. Eye protection: If you are having to remove tiny pieces of glass, I advise wearing safety glasses...

  • @cowlumbus
    @cowlumbus 11 років тому

    So does the ribbon that gets stuff under the edge (for the digitizer) get folded over when you glue the glass back down. I"m very concerned that there is to much ribbon and it should just curve under but in fact would have to fold between the LCD and glass!

  • @Laptopscreen
    @Laptopscreen  11 років тому

    The Wi-Fi antenna lays against the screen. It doesn't go "on the screen" it stays with the main body.
    If the Wi-Fi antenna separated WITH the screen…you need a new Wi-Fi antenna…
    Its best to review the above video one more time :)

    I have an iPad 2 with a damaged LCD due to being dropped. Surprisingly, the glass and digitizer is not damaged at all, not even a hairline crack. Is it possible to remove the glass and digitizer without damaging it? I need to replace the LCD screen underneath.
    Also, your LaptopScreen website indicates your digitizers are not OEM, how accurate is the touch response? Is it as good as the original part, or will I notice a difference between yours? Thanks in advance!

    • @Laptopscreen
      @Laptopscreen  10 років тому

      For all technical effects and purposes, the iPad/iPhone digitizers are identical to OEM in specs, composition, materials, elements and performance.

    • @Laptopscreen
      @Laptopscreen  10 років тому

      Replacing the LCD will not resolve touch issues - those are related to the digitizer, its cable and the connecting jacks. Examine the jacks and the cable, try replacing the digitizer with another one.

      @angelmata8923 9 років тому

      +LaptopScreen.com I accidentally ripped the digitilizer it is somewhat of a sandwich looking entry the top layer presses the little dots into position(which is the one I accidentally ripped apart), is there something you'd advice me to do ?

    • @Laptopscreen
      @Laptopscreen  9 років тому

      +Angel Mata The description of the problem is a little vague. If the functionality is affected (touch not working or working in limited areas of the digitizer) then the only thing to do is to get a new replacement part.
      What does the touch feel like when the device is powered on with the digitizer plugged in?
      If the touch works evenly across the entire surface of the touch-screen - then you could just assemble the device and glue it shut.

    • @angelmata8923
      @angelmata8923 9 років тому

      +LaptopScreen.com can you picture the plug in of the screen ? Where you slide in the receiver of information ? Well instead of sliding it out and replacing it with the new one I pulled it out and ripped the top part, (which I believe is just to hold it in) well the top part is ripped, at first the screen will not work(display) so I pressed it down to where it would at least turn on, but the touch screen doesn't work now, I can only see it work but the touch won't work anywhere, I was thinking plying with it would work, but haven't gave it a try... Would you happen to know how it works or if I should just not try it ? I'm sorry, it's hard to give an image through words

    • @Laptopscreen
      @Laptopscreen  9 років тому

      +Angel Mata Sounds like you ripped off the video connector securing bracket...maybe?
      Shouldn't affect the digitizer though - video connector is separate from the digitizer (touchscreen). If the digitizer connector is also damaged - well it'd be cheaper to replace the entire logic board - than to micro-solder a new connector on (hard to even find a connector like this for soldering). What is the reason for the repair?
      (Cracked touch-screen, cracked LCD, both?)
