    How to Replace and Fix a Broken iPad Screen. I take a "crack" at replacing a shattered iPad digitizer touchscreen. I show you the steps involved to get your iPad looking like new. It's quite amazing really. I don't feel like this should even be possible. This video shows you how to remove the broken touchscreen and replace it with a replacement. This video only covers replacement of the touch-screen or sometimes called a digitizer.

    This is my initial review since I just got the ipad and I'm hoping to update it when I've had it longer ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . I purchased one that was listed as "acceptable condition" and was a little worried about what it would look like. However, I am pleased with its condition. The back has some scuffs and a small dent near the logo. There are a few tiny marks at the bottom of the front of the ipad but the condition of the screen is perfect. There are no scratches or anything. I was able to set it up, use it, and it charges fine. I'm hoping it continues to work well for me. So far it was worth the purchase. Also shipping was fast. The item came one day earlier than expected

    Put shrink wrap on the screen before removing and all that glass will stick to it instead of it going all over.👍 Nice videoclip

    Thanks for posting this - it helped reduce my nerves a ton! A few cautions for your audience - I have an iPad Air (v1 - model 1474) and my connecting cables were on bottom right. Also, I recommend wearing protective eye wear - many of the glass screen shards can scatter as you pry.

    Thanks for sharing this.
    My iPad 4 dropped a couple of weeks ago, and got cracked at the bottom, right below the home button, while also leaving a few cracks on the bezel sides as well a very long crack that goes from the bottom to the top.
    Mind you, it had the original Apple SmartCover closed, when it dropped.
    It's still usable, but I don't think I could all that by myself. Might try dropping it to a friend who does repairs.
    Regardless, I'm kinda pissed by the poor quality of such expensive items.
    Not even my Note 3, that dropped a couple of times, never substained any damage.

    • @RiffRaffMama.
      @RiffRaffMama. 5 років тому +1

      Carefully take it apart again and check you connected everything nice and tight and correctly and nothing is bent, trapped or crushed. Then check again. Unless you gouged out a 3mm wide trench in the LCD there's no reason a scratch would kill it.

    Thanks, Mike, this was very helpful. The other alternative is to pay somebody about $100 or so to come to your house or go to their business and they will replace it. That’s probably what I’ll do, along with replacing the battery. But I can afford a new one, so maybe I’ll just get that and call it a day...? I wish Apple stores were open...bummer.

    Tip: be VERY careful with the glass! I’ve been fixing iPhones and iPads for several years, and the iPad is CONSIDERABLY more frustrating to fix. While the iPhone is one entire screen module, the iPad has not only the glass, but a digitizer under. Be extremely careful in avoiding touching the digitizer, and be hateful with glass exploding in your face. The glass may get everywhere, so be careful with your eyes, mouth , nose and even shoes. Best of luck to everyone, if anyone has questions regarding replacement let me know.

      No. I didn’t have to. This was just a digitizer touchscreen replacement

      Hey Gabriel! Just a couple of seconds. I still had to pry it up, as you saw, but it allowed the glue to release much easier.

    Lol at the end of the video you said that $18 was well worth it instead of spending $200 for a new one!!!
    I’m writing on 09/23/2023 and I happened to find my old gen 2 iPad with a cracked screen and I took it to get fix and the estimate was $200 to replace a broken screen!!! Lol
    I don’t need to buy a new one; and I only need this iPad for when my granddaughter gets in car and she can watch her favorite movies when travel gets a bit boring… so idk I guess I’ll venture to try to fix this myself! Wish me luck!
