Nice repair. I also use owned since new iPad 2 on iOS 9.3.5, for which I have had to swap digitizer at least three times (fragile). Recently I had to fix broken backlight (faulty choke inline led's output). I use it only for RUclips nowadays however and to my surprise, google cut it from servers three weeks ago (last app version on this iOS). Thanks to some smart tutorials I was able to restore RUclips connectivity by jailbreaking and manually setting the API version to the one accepted by RUclips servers. What a mess with artificial obsolescence.
4:30 Glad you mentioned that on this particular device. I personally sand these down when I run into them. But double check all around before you start to apply pressure, they can crack new displays too.
The answer is usually children. Children always break tablets because they don't know how to care for something so poorly designed. Seriously there's a ton of hollow space behind the display and even a brand new screen can be cracked if you apply too much pressure around the edges. It's like Apple wanted this to happen.
A little trick for children’s iPads is to leave the clear screen protector that comes installed on the inside of the digitizer making it far easier to replace next time your child breaks the glass. Trust me I’ve got three kids and they each have iPads that have had to be repaired multiple times I’ve got digitizer replacement down to less than ten minutes from the first time I warm up the adhesive.
Those devices should have never been updated past iOS 10. The 5s is fine, but the A7 iPads are terrible past 10. They have the exact same GPU , same ram, and same CPU pushing way more pixels. Similar to the iPhone 4s on 9.

2 possible causes of return warranty: 1, the bezel adhesive is not been cleaned, although the 3M double-sided adhesive is very sticky, there is still a chance to cause a come off. 2, the bracket of the Home button is not firmly glued, according to experience from many technicians, only using 3M double-sided adhesive will sometimes cause the Home button to be pressed inside and lead to repair, kids press hard to cause a bracket deformation will also lead to the guide point on the back of the Home button pot cover to fall off and disappear. Plus, please treat the touch screen socket on the motherboard with extra care as it is extremely fragile, and please dilute the Home button flex cable with alcohol or heat gun/pad, cuz tearing it off directly or forcibly scraping it off with a pry bar is a very dangerous act and should not be imitated. Once again, please leave repairs to the professionals, especially for mobile phones and tablets with lithium batteries, do not attempt on your own to cause unnecessary injury.
Use OCA Remover for cleaning residue adhesive up. Its better than Iso. I use it for repairs as well. You can get some on eBay for relatively cheap. Its like nail polish remover only more potent. Does the job splendidly!
Not even gonna lie I was very skeptical on buying an iPad on Amazon i dont know why? I was afraid my package would be stolen or never deliver but OMG I am IN LOVE with this iPad. The blue color is so beautiful it works amazing! My only issue I had was the pencil I bought with this for the bundle became undeliverable. But definitely worth the money I’m in love.
5:12 "This cable cannot be damaged" Maybe you should say "It shouldn't be damaged". I know you explained immediately, but I was already thinking "Good job Apple! An unbreakable cable"!
Hello Hugh. I have 2 questions. 1st what is the adhesive you used in this repair? 2nd how did you check the locked status. I hope you a good afternoon.
From experience, the real danger of those bent in corners on iPads is that they put extra pressure on the digitizer and will shatter it at the slightest provocation.
1. No Jeffrey. Alcohol SHOULD NOT be used when fixing iPad. The reason is, the LCD can easily damaged by alcohol, even 99% IPA 2. The top of iPad LCD has a hidden tape underneath it. To remove the tape, gently peel the top tape. You might want to cut off the tape since it goes around the LCD and we only want to remove the part that goes underneath the display
Where do u buy your reemplacements? Ive been looking for a digitalizer, antenna and back panel for an iPad 2 GSM without any success. In ebay theres lots of blocked icloud ones, but no one of them are gsm, which makes unusable the sim slot
I did my first battery replacement the other day on an iPhone 7. Using an ifxit kit when I finished the battery was great…. But the home button was now broken. Doh.
I gave my mini 3 to my grandma way back when. She still uses it for all her Amazon orders and solitaire lol. Has a badass UAG case I spent something like $80 on that looks cartoonish now.
9:30 I've moved on from Apple a long time ago, but when I used to know about them and jailbreaking and CFWs etc etc, can't you save the blobs from the iOS 9.x.x to later recover back to it? Download the same firmware and sign your blobs to it and flash it with iTunes? Or have I really forgot the process?
Hi, could you see if you could find a Galaxy S3 to restore? I know it's not something extremely special but I used to use it and I loved it. It was quite ahead of its time and I would much appreciate if you could make a video on restoring one.
I bought an iPhone 7 128gb for $19 at a thrift store recently, it had a smashed display like this iPad. Luckily I had a spare and it turns out all it needed was a factory reset.
I once did an iPad Mini 3 digitizer and battery replacement. It also had a dented frame. That was by far the worst device I've ever had to repair, though I haven't had a ton of experience. Things just kept going wrong, exacerbated by the terrible design.
can you make videos about replacing ipad pro 2018/2020 screen does they also require reprogramming for the face id to work? I am told by some that proximal cable needs to be reprogrammed while said no.
Just a note that was not mentioned is that an inexpensive heat gun will loosen up all the parts that are glued on such as the Touch ID bracket and ribbon cable, magnets and the digitizer (touch panel as mentioned in the video)
Totally forgot this one existed! Such a horrible upgrade over the Mini 2 as the only difference was the inclusion of Touch ID. Hoping they'll finally redesign the device to make it look more like the Air 4 and the Pros sometime this year.
Just wondering, what adhesive did you use to glue the panel down. Ive been using some type of tube glue called E8000 I think, its not fantastic and adhesive strips would work a lot better
the reason it probably went back to the setup screen after you fixed it was that the ipad sent alert to the owner on the find my ipad and they probably chose erase
