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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

@Laptopscreen 11 жыл бұрын

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 :)

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...

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! Grtz

So if i need to replace the lcd screen, i need a new digitizer aswell? Cause my digitizer is intact, but the lcd has a nice star in the middle.

@cowlumbus 11 жыл бұрын

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!

@kckcjl00 11 жыл бұрын

is the metal camera frame necessary? i've replaced my screen everything is flush and works except the main top, i think the metal camera piece isn't sitting correctly

@Laptopscreen 11 жыл бұрын

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 11 жыл бұрын

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.

You didn't address how to test if your home button is properly seated. I worry about setting the front glass onto the adhesive and then finding out the home button doesn't work right.How do you insure that's not a problem?

@Laptopscreen 12 жыл бұрын

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

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!

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 :)

Thanks for the great info and demo. I am wondering on what parts I need to replace on my IPad. Screen has lots of marks, so definitely needs replacing. When I attempt to type a letter, most times it will type the same letter 5 times, if at all. Any dialog box in the middle of the screen, Pressing the OKAY button is useless, until I turn the machine from Portrait to Longitude or vice versa. Is that the digitiser, or just something in the screen? Thanks Again.

Digitizer is the glass pane that sits on top and receives touch input. LCD sits underneath and produces light and image. Whichever you call a "screen" is open to interpretation and is not incorrect either way as long as you acknowledge that these are two separate parts :)
