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.

Tysm for this, I repaired on of my friends iPads and it worked great. The only real problems I had was the home button didn't sit in place completely correctly and now it's sunken in a little bit and doesn't make as much sound when it clicks

@TapticDigital Год назад

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. Ever since I started using tape primer (should be available at hardware stores) on the bracket and glass those buttons stay stuck. Glad this video helped!

@pagliaccisghost269 Год назад

I recently replaced the screen on my moms phone and thought maybe I could tackle my old iPad as it has a crack right down the middle. I’m glad that I watched this before I spent money on a new screen. Too much can go wrong. Besides, when it’s on, I can’t even tell it’s cracked. Thanks for the informative video.

@TapticDigital Год назад

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!

Ouch, there could be a slight rip or disconnection in your digitizer ribbons, that's common when closing them up unfortunately

@Randy.Bobandy 4 месяца назад

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 4 месяца назад

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.

@Jake-ix1od Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

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.

@Thorsun Год назад

I made an attempt at following your guide to repair my shattered screen. Everything was going great until I started putting everything back together. I got one of the digitizer "lego" connectors connected just fine but the second one was like, "Nope!". I wound up mashing the pins. 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.

@TheGYR1 Год назад

Very helpful. What do I do if one of the screws is stuck with the black silicon?

@TapticDigital Год назад

I obviously don't show it on camera (though I might), but there are times I'll go to remove one that isn't broken and suddenly POW! Glass in the face. Other times I'll press it into the frame, only for a dented part of the frame to shatter it to bits. Glass is... Fun? Either way, I'm super glad my video was helpful!

If you have an iPad pro that is a whole different story. In many cases I refuse to work on them because of how quickly they break when you try to open them. I would avoid trying to take it apart unless absolutely necessary, and have a replacement display handy if the original breaks.

It was VERY rare to have touch issues, but sometimes they happened. The vendor always replaced it promptly. If you do go Amazon just check if they offer a warranty, touch is really the only issue these things can have so they usually cover that. And ALWAYS test before you tape the screen in place!

@Bhuff04 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

If it's board side, even if they are all the way inserted and the little latch is down it still looks and feels pretty loose but it should stay. If it doesn't, you can line it up and then use a small piece of tape over it to hold it in place!

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 Месяц назад

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.

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.

It's 3M tape primer, it makes the tape stick to the surface better.

@bellslinki Год назад

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

@TapticDigital Год назад

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.

@bellslinki Год назад

@@TapticDigital thanks, do you think isopropyl would act as primer? And that black gunge on the LCD screws is a real pain.

@TapticDigital Год назад

@@bellslinki alcohol will work the opposite, it tends to remove stickiness from surfaces. I'd definitely recommend cleaning the metal of any old leftover adhesive with alcohol, but still some kind of primer would help increase the stickiness.

@rodrigodiaz9679 6 месяцев назад

did you turn it off before replacing the display? or did it with the ipad powered on?

If the display already brings a home button, Theres no need to replace it with the original home button ? the touch id will still work with the new home button?

@TapticDigital 6 месяцев назад

Nope, if the home button is ever replaced, even with another Apple part, Touch ID will stop working entirely. You have to transfer the original button

I just replaced the screen and it all works great, except now the battery isn't charging. It turns on and chimes when I plug in the charger, but the battery never goes above 0%. This wasn't an issue before I replaced the screen. Is there something I may have bumped? I know that the battery screw is tight because I made a point to check that before closing it up. Thanks!

@TapticDigital 18 дней назад

So the charge port has a bracket that holds it to the frame, held by two Phillips screws. These get loose from general use but also stay down because of the glass over them. But when you open it, it can loosen them up. If possible I’d heat and CAREFULLY reopen the glass, tighten those two screws and give it another chance.

Hi, I want to know if I use heat to remove the glue from the screen, will it affect my lcd display? I heard from my friend that a repair shop fixed her ipad screen and her lcd display now have this crease looking paper like display. Is it the repair shop mistake or it is okay to use it?

@TapticDigital Месяц назад

Shop mistake, happens when you overheat the front or let it sit too long without checking it. Getting it “pretty warm” and then using isopropyl and a razor will get it open without risking the LCD

Of course! No reason for data to be lost, you're only changing a touch sensor and glass, not a board. 😉 Edit: if a shop tells you they have to wipe your data for any reason, they aren't a good shop.

@user-ls6kt3pv8m 6 месяцев назад

I have just done mine but the screen seems to press random stuff sometimes where have I went rong? Thanks

@TapticDigital 6 месяцев назад

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!

@scubador 2 года назад

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 8 месяцев назад

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.

Great video! A question about the replacement part you used: is it made out of glass? Because the one I've ordered online (not the one you recommend) looks like plastic, so I'm wondering whether I should return mine and get the one you suggest, or is it about the same quality? Obviously, the original ipad screen looks like made out of some kind of glass. Thank you!

@TapticDigital 2 года назад

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...

@@TapticDigital thank you! I've just ordered the part you recommended, will come back to confirm that it's glass when I get it.

curious if primer is necessary? Just bought the digitizer and it comes pre adhesive but was curious about benefits of using primer

Definitely not necessary, but it does provide a much stronger "factory-like" bond. You can achieve similar results by placing a decently heavy book on top of the tablet overnight.

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.
