For those of you wondering (like I was) how to re-insert those tiny-tiny-tiny screws... it's quite a challenge, especially if you have big hands like I do. I started having success after I bought a magnifying lamp. Then you can really see those tiny screws up close and work the tweezers to gently grab the head of the screw and place them in the holes. Then make sure your screwdriver is demagnetized otherwise the screw will jump back out and attach to the screwdriver. Also, don't squeeze too hard on the tweezers or else your screw will shoot out never to be seen again. My suggestion is to get an old broken iPad and practice first. It takes time and patience to get these screws in the holes and I also recommend ordering a whole bunch of replacement screws. Another frustrating thing to keep in mind is the edge of the iPad is EXTREMELY magnetized - we're talking black hole magnetic field power. The screws love to just zing away from the holes and attach themselves to the edge. The magnifier and the tweezers make it easier to pry them away from the edge.

Nice! Your problem is likely the nipple on the button. I actually have a short on my channel about replacing that little piece. As for the sunken in, that could be the button missing that piece, or the backed got loose.

@TapticDigital Жыл бұрын

Obviously getting stuff fixed is ideal, but sometimes fixing it just isn't worth it at the time. I often get customers with expensive phones like the IPhone 14 Pro and they have a small hairline crack in the display. It's almost $400 for a screen, so usually I recommend covering it with some tape unless it gets much much worse. If it isn't causing a problem, best to leave it alone sometimes. Glad my video helped!

@Randy.Bobandy 2 ай бұрын

Great guide, thanks! It could do with some more detail regarding the Home Button, though. Whenever I try and place the button back, it never feels flush and is often loose when replacing the screen. I'm not sure how you're supposed to get it to sit right and not move around. It's lined up with the nipple and clicks when you press it, but it's still kinda loose once you fit everything back together.

@TapticDigital 2 ай бұрын

First, fantastic profile picture and name. And some of these buttons can feel a bit loosey goosey, you can slightly bend the bracket to put a bit more downward force on it but as long as it still has the nipple it should click pretty well. If the adhesive on the bracket is too thick it can also put a bit more lift on the bracket preventing it from holding it in tight. Personally I’d try bending the bracket just a bit to press against the button and keep it locked in, but not too much or it will constantly click the button.

You can! There are lots of options, it just depends on what tools you have available. Another good choice would be using a heatgun. You could potentially use a hair dryer and a razor blade with some isopropyl alcohol, though it would take longer. iFixit sells a bean bag that can be microwaved and act like a hot pad.

@Jake-ix1od Жыл бұрын

Two precautions I didn’t see replaced, the black tape; securing the tab for the Touch ID connector; it was left on the battery, and the foam pad covering the Touch ID cable; probably intended to absorb vibrations preventing the Touch ID connection from shaking out of place

@TapticDigital Жыл бұрын

Both pretty optional, the cable has adhesive holding it to the frame under that foam as well making the foam unnecessary, more of a trap to ensure the ribbon rips if pulled without thinking. The tape doesn't do much as the latching connector cannot unlatch when the LCD is screwed down on top of it, and very little chance of moving. I think the tape does more to "hide" the connector than it does hold it, something so light and thin doesn't react much to shaking. The charge port on the other hand, very susceptible to vibration as Apple hasn't quite figured out what loctite or threadlocker is.

My big meaty hands are not designed to do work on tiny little things. And speaking of tiny!!! Those freaking screws. How do you deal with screwing those back in? They become so ridiculously magnetized you can't get them seated on the driver. Then I lost one inside somewhere and couldn't find it due to the magnetization. It's attached to something in there but I'll never find it. I gave up and just ordered a new iPad.

Two possibilities! The first, one of the two ribbons coming from the glass has been ripped/torn/knicked or isn’t fully connected, the other possibility is a defective digitizer. Both are equally as common with how mass produced the glass is. Best bet would be to open it back up gently, check the connectors and ribbons for any signs of damage. If no obvious physical damage, contact the vendor and look into replacing it!

Great video, I just have a question about the home button application: How do I get the home button to sit properly with the digitizer ? My home button came off the bracket so I’ve been having trouble getting an OEM feel. I tried applying some B700 adhesive to the rim that sits around the home button and directly attaching it to the digitizer before using the bracket, but the button still sits really low inside the digitizer. Any help would be great, thank you!

@TapticDigital Жыл бұрын

The bracket that holds the home button in can usually be bent slightly so it makes better contact with the button itself. You'll also want to verify that the home button isn't missing its nipple, a small black dot on the clicker part. It should also have a matching silver dot on the bracket side. If either of those are missing, it won't stay down or work well at all. You're on the right track with gluing the rim, that is a helpful option but I'd highly recommend checking the nipples! Edit: also, check to see if there's a plastic spacer thats attached to the rubber around the button, replacement parts often include a spacer already on the digitizer, and stacking two on top can create a "sunken" feel

I always have problems getting glass to stay stuck on the flex (right) side. Do you use extra glue?

@TapticDigital Жыл бұрын

That's definitely the most common lifting point, it's just a super thin area of frame. I use 3M tape primer on the frame which seems to resolve the problem, some people add a silicone based adhesive as well.

I'm looking into repairing the ipad that are broken WEEKLY at the school, we send them to a place about 2hrs away as almost costs $150 AUD each ipad and were sending about 2-6/wk. Whats my best way of cleaning the screen from dust ect, I feel that a microfiber will scratch. Cheers

@TapticDigital 12 күн бұрын

I strongly recommend getting some cheap tempered glass protectors for all iPads, even the cheaper glass ones work quite well. As for cleaning, if it’s the glass a microfiber is absolutely fine. You can also use a soft cloth with some windex or high concentration isopropyl alcohol (I actually mix these in a bottle at 50/50 and call it Booze+ as a joke). Cleaning the LCD itself it another story, no windex, and absolutely nothing containing ammonia. Make sure to use a super clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe it in a circular motion. Gentle is the keyword, you aren’t trying to scrub it or even apply much pressure like you would with glass. If it still won’t clean, add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth itself, not the LCD, and try a slight bit more pressure in a circular motion again. I’ve worked on tons of school iPads, and typically have to give them a full wipe down with the windex and alcohol combo because it isn’t just the screens that are gross. A cheap case and screen protector go a long way, but I can assure you that kids will absolutely find a way to mangle the poor tablets regardless, though maybe a bit less.

Question, i replaced the screen, and the homebutton… everything worked like a charm. Wanted to close up, did a final check.. the homebutton didnt work anymore.. after re opening… the flex cable was severed… had to order a new flexcable…. But how do i prevent this?! It seems like when i close the screen it ruptures 😢

@TapticDigital Жыл бұрын

It's a bit tricky to line up but as you're closing you have to make sure it isn't being pinched between the frame and display, or that you don't open the glass past about 45 degrees, it puts stress on the cables and they can rip.

What is wrong when, after the touch screen has been replaced, it registers zillions of random touches all over the screen, so that it enters wrong pins on its own? Is the replacement touch screen defective? The panel itself was not replaced.

@TapticDigital 6 ай бұрын

Good old ghost touching! It means the digitizer in the glass has a short somewhere. It's either just a defective glass, or there is a slight rip in the ribbon connectors that go to the board. The LCD is for display only, the actual touch sensor is embedded in the glass.

Possibly nothing you did. There's a chance one of the connectors is slightly loose and didn't click in all the way, there's also the possibility one of the ribbons has a tear in it. Or it's just a defective screen, which isn't common but isn't exactly rare either. Mass produced parts will sometimes just have a bad one slip through quality control.

First thing is to confirm that it isn’t turning on, sometimes the display just won’t turn on but the device is “on” or stuck in DFU mode. This will also rule out if the power button is damaged because the charger will attempt to force a power up without the button. Try connecting it to a computer and see if it shows up, if so, it’s on just stuck. If not, head back inside the device and make sure the battery connector is screwed down and that the LCD connector is fully seated. If still no power, remove the main board and check the battery connector, it has a few gold springs that can occasionally get bent or damaged.

It is definitely glass. Because it's so large and thin it does flex quite a bit, but definitely shouldn't feel like plastic. Glass is harder than metal, so if you try to scratch the top surface it shouldn't leave a mark (if it's glass). If it's plastic, it'll scratch. But if it is in fact plastic and scrstches, I doubt they'd let you return it...
