WARNING!
LAPTOPSCREEN.COM IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGED PROPERTY OR PERSONAL INJURY, USE THIS TUTORIAL AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Use dental floss under the screen to get through the glue so you are not prying up on the LCD to limit the risk of damaging your lcd.
Excellent tip helped me a lot
Good tip, will try on next device
If you have cracks on the screen, it is better to apply the duct tape on the screen before taking it off, then you don't need to worry about scattering the glass around.
Thanks for posting this video!
good idea to TEST digitzer and LCD before you close it.
or else you'll have to put new adhesive.
Removing 3 layers to repair the top layer... what a terrible design!
Great video. Thank you!
Its made like this on purpose to deter you from repairing it yourself.
It's much better than the designs as it cheaper to repair if only the front glass needs replacing
Thanks for the video. Most informative I found and the suction cup method is, without a doubt, the best way to get the removal started. Everyone else recommended a razor blade which will scratch the finish if you're not EXTREMELY careful. Appreciate all the time you put into this.
Thanks for your great video. With your help I successfully replaced the flickering LCD on my daughter's Ipad mini. I replaced the screen at the same time because I was expecting to break it when removing it. Very pleased that I managed to remove without damaging the screen so I now have a spare one.
By the way I used the suction pad from my Go pro suction cup mount. It is so powerful I could have pulled the screen off without the use of a blade.
For those of you who are asking about how much heat to use, the glue becomes soft when it is a bit higher than body temperature. Keep that heat gun on there for too long and you may well destroy the other components inside, particularly the lithium battery!
Suction cup can be found on the soap holder in the bathroom,
alternatively there is one shipped with the iPad Mini digitizer sold by LaptopScreen
Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen this one before fixing my 1st mini--really easy to crack and/or overeat/discolor the LCD screen if you are not careful loosening the glue. This method is one of the better for getting digitizer safely separated.
Hey just a quick tip, when you have both the lcd and glass tilted over, instead of holding it the whole time you can place a suction cup behind the glass and have it rest on it.
Received in perfect condition, the item said it needed to be signed for but I didn't. I love it. Bought my mom one for her birthday on Amazon prime day
I found that before disconnecting the LCD connector the battery connector should be removed. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the backlight fuse. Wish he would have mentioned that.
Yes now I think my backlight fuse is blown because he didn’t say anything about it
Kevin Finucane your supposed to turn off the device, and disconnect the battery first. But ive never had an issue with any iphone or ipad ive fixed where disconnecting the battery last (on accident) . The thing is if there is dust in those connectors, or anything, it can make a connection fail (which has happened for me on my 5s, the screen would turn in but the digitizer cable although in wouldnt work b/c of dust
Just check and make sure.
the video was spot on, took me about 45mins and works as good as new that you for posting this, hint the glass is a little tough ti get off
Scott Abdo took me less than 10 minutes but probably because I have so me this with ipad air and a couple iPhones makes good money trust. Me about 90 dollars profit all the time
Can vouch for LaptopScreen, these guys sell these screens almost at cost and they are so easy to install its insane that electronic stores can charge so much to repair screens.
The very important step is after connecting the new digitizer and LCD , it is required to check if both are working good and then you can go ahead to close it completely otherwise if the digitizer is faulty or LCD is not good, the iPad is still open to replace them without re-open again and you still have chance to return the faulty digitizer or LCD to your vendor!
The best vid on screen replacement I've seen well done and thanks. 👏🏼
Great video, thank you!!! Very clear instructions. I replaced the glass of my mini Ipad and works like new.
Thanks so much! My process didn't go without some issues but I couldn't have pulled through it without your awesome instruction. Most importantly, my iPad works!
One important part that's missing is the magnets. There are two magnets on the digitizer. The new one from ebay usually does not come with them. If you don't notice, you will not be able to use the smartcover. I missed and threw them away with the broken digitizer. Only after I put on the smartcover, I realized.
just ordered a kit for my ipad mini 1st gen that i haven’t used in years because of the broken screen, hoping ill be able to access old photos
very informative and right to the point, Not like some videos where the speaker drags it out talking about who knows what.THANK YOU
Thank you Charles! Completely agree, will keep on getting right to the point :)
We do have both for sale, although the stock varies.
Please see the iPad Mini listing on our site.
LaptopScreen.com do you repair ipad mini 2 sir?
Thanks! This is a great video. It's hard to screw up with these instructions.
Thank you. I broke my lcd trying to fix my screen last Christmas trying to get a new screen on
Same here buddy
Thank you just did my daughters iPad and works perfectly
Congratulations on your newly found fortune :)
First thing is to make sure the iPad is charged, it should display signs of life when the charger is connected.
If that doesn't help, then full tear down and careful inspection of ALL possible damage can net you some results.
Overall we'd rate such a project as "If you got nothing better to do" :)
LaptopScreen doesn't provide mail-in repairs yet.
However iPad Mini, as seen above, is not the most difficult repair imaginable, we'd rate the difficulty (on a professional scale) as 5/10: using appropriate tools and plenty of patience, a first time repairer should complete the job in under an hour.
As well we now sell direct-drop-in iPad Mini parts (no soldering required)
📍IMPORTANT📍make sure you unplug the battery (even if you powered down the device) before you disconnect the digitizer and LCD or you will screw up the LCD backlight because the voltage change will blow the backlight fuse
Which plug is the battery?
Great video and well made, Apple sure know how to make them with of screws in the way.
I thing there inner construction for the layout on the assembly is a bit primitive, but I guess the better resources in design layout got put more towards the circuitry, OS and outer look of the device (iPad, iPhone etc:::
True the mid-shield with all these screws is a little inconvenient,
however we have to point out, that with such shielding iPad mini could potentially survive EMP or solar flares in a cataclysmic event ;)
Really good video, well done no, BS just simple and straight forward directions. Thanks, thinking of giving it a go myself.
I want to compliment you on a first-class tutorial, because you know how to instruct your viewers clearly, unlike many others. I have come here as I need to fit a replacement screen on a Mini 5. I have one question: is the Mini 5 same as the other Mini versions, please?
Thank you! Yeah they are all going to be about the same. Just look at your replacement part - where ever the cables are - be careful in that area when removing old screen.
@@Laptopscreen The model I have has no screen!
At the time of making of this tutorial, no replacement parts were available at all.
A month later, and for duration of several month, only "non ic" parts were available.
Now, we sell "no solder required" parts.
But you are most welcome to make a tutorial on your own that will show the soldering procedure - it will surely be greatly appreciated by everyone :) If you make it as a video reply - we'll make sure to post it!
Best guess: reconnect the digitizer.
If that doesn't work a new digitizer may be needed to restore functionality.
Well made 'how to' video with excellent instructions! Thanks :-)
Yes, we do sell iPad Mini digitizers!
(Also no-solder-required ones)
Thank you for this i have now done it but i used a plastic knife not metal but it works fine now
Thank you so much!!
I fix it one already with this video
It its pretty simple..The only problem I had was with the touch screen part.. My screen was completely shattered and I need a new one. Thats the hardest part you will come across..Also before you do this.. LOOK UP IPAD MINI SCREW CHART..Its a magnetic chart bigger than the ipad so you can place the screws on the chart that have the exact screw placements labeled.
Can i use the old lcd if i just need to replace the digitizer
+Joe Salamone Yes, provided it doesn't crack during removal.
You are referring to the digitizer IC piece.
We now sell no-solder-required kits for iPad Mini.
Partially Fair note. Metal tools can be used to scratch paint off the glass surfaces.
However, please keep in perspective that this video is geared towards people with already broken digitizers, and paint condition will matter only for the "curios" disassemblers with digitizers intact.
Also, the effectiveness of the tool is in the power of the beholder, and in this video it is used with-out scratching the paint.
Cheers!
You make removing the LCD look easy
Thank you! The secret is to fiddle off-camera. There are plenty of videos of fiddling on YT, but its better to fiddle on your own.
Wow my sister that had more experience messed up her I pad and I wit no experience watched ur video and it came out purfect than you so much this was helpfull
Actually, to clarify,
the support guy (myself) informed the customer that
the video was created prior to any replacement parts being available (just as the mini came out), and there was no way of foreseeing the issue.
We have not had a chance to get any hands-on experience with iPad mini since the video was created,
but our customers were able to navigate the issue at a success rate of 9 out of 10.
Appropriate annotations have been placed in the appropriate moment in the video.
smashed screen and part of the corner of led screen help
thanks for uploading this video i success to repair digitizer and LCD
I find those screws right next to the magnet stupidly hard to put back in if you have an ifixit like I do use the twicers the look like needles at the end to hold them I'll make it easyer
Hi there, it should be fairly obvious if the LCD is damaged - black "ink" stains, straight vertical lines, etc.
If only the glass is broken the picture should be fine, except for the cracks overlaid from the glass.
The $46.99 is the actual LCD (not a touchscreen), glass IS the touchscreen (digitizer), so if the picture doesn't show black "ink" then only glass needs to be replaced.
I nailed it. It really isn't too hard, The again My screen was fine, just didn't like the colour.
Thanks, followed this to the point, and it worked!
Hi Mark,
no we don't offer mail-in repairs.
From technician's perspective, this is a $90 job (plus parts)
Thanks bro, fixed my sons iPad screen
Thnks man..helping me to repair my bloved ipad mini 1
Happy to help
As i watch this i drop my ipad face down and its now cracked... Fml
+mine william Sorry to hear about that. But look on the bright-side - you now get to take it apart!
Ya hehe
mine williamp
x
It took me a second to realize he meant his iPad cracked not his face hahaha
Oh lol... wait whaaaat?!!! So it wasn't the face?
The LCD broke while following this video. Remove all glue “tape” before pulling the LCD. Lifting the LCD is harder than it is portrayed here.
I’m really sad it broke 😔😔
Most screen digitizer being replaced has a black plastic tape covering the home button up to the flex cable being connected. Meaning the back of the home button shouldnt be exposed. Why is this diferent will it still function?
That was GREAT video
should only glue down after a small test to see if all is functioning then glue or you may run into the whole process again
Fuck, my friend hit my iPad mini out of my hand by accident and the whole screen smashed badly. Then my parents repaired it for Christmas. Now my dog was eating a Kleenex and I put my iPad on a counter and ran over to get it out of his mouth. It fell down and smashed again. My parents aren't home from work yet. Omfg I'm so nervous.
+TheFlamingArrow You could tell them that the dog was casually eating its daily fill of Kleenex when you sneezed and got into a little scuffle over the last of the Kleenex. You won the scuffle, but the vindictive canine, unsatisfied with its forcefully diminished portion of daily fiber, proceeded to take out its revenge on the unsuspecting iPad. It knew full well that doing so would put you in a precarious position, since the iPad was previously repaired at great cost; but choose to execute its revenge with cold-calculation and malicious intent to cause you the most grief.
Or you can tell them the truth and that you can now repair the iPad on your own, and that the parts cost less than $30, but the experience and the satisfaction of fixing the device you own by yourself - is priceless!
Uh oh
best shit ever
It may require soldering if the replacement part doe snot come with the digitizer chip/connector circuit - and the original may have to be re-soldered. We now supply parts that do not require soldering.
and if your blacklight fuse is broken, ipad will not turn on, since the connecters will be close to the fuse and the connecters will have the ability to short circuit the fuse or even damage and might injure yourself
Great company to deal with and a spot on tutorial. Easy to follow. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
At 2:20 in the video, this guy has the LCD flipped up...... this can only be done if you untape the LCD along the connected edge.... otherwise you'll crack the LCD. If your LCD is already broken then don't worry. Remove the tape to save the LCD
I replaced only my digitizer with IC already attached. The ditigizer works fine when not glued down. As soon as I glue it down the lower left hand corner off the screen starts activating randomly, and idea?
wait what if we cant trurn off the iPad cause the screens not working???
please show the details on how to re-attache the connection of the digitizer to its connector?. thanks
on 2:18 SECOND of the video, how were you able to band/fold the LCD completely on top of screen, ??? And i broke my black color of screen on top of lcd while trying to take out LCD,
WooOo how many points to I win?
Cracked the LCD :)!!!
Yup, just search iPad Mini on our site.
Liked your video.I have a blank screen created by moisture, not directly dropped in water. It gradually spread and finally went dark. I can hear a beep when connecting the power cable, but no other sights or sounds. Screen looks good. I slightly opened and tried to dry it out with some hair blower heat. I have new screen and digitizer but am beginning to feel the problem is probably the lcd. I can and have backed it up on my mac. Questions: 1. does it sound like the lcd? 2. Will I also need to replace the screen? 3. How can I tell if it is powered on or off before I start?
_great_ video. Learning ipad repairs, I have watched quite a few of these. This one is one of the most thorough and best produced. Thankyou.
I have one question - where can I obtain the suction cup from?
My ipad mini felt and now i can barely see whats on the screen like if the resulution would be really really low what can i do? thank you so much
This worked perfectly thanks .. my IPAD is like new .
Thank you best guide on youtube
So I went through this and a few other videos, made the digitizer replacement repair and holy crap! everything still works perfectly! Except for my official Apple Smart Cover doesn't put the iPad Mini to sleep anymore. Can anyone tell me where I might have gone wrong?
NO, currently the iPad Mini parts from any supplier, other than Apple (or used/pull) come with NO home button, and NO digitizer control circuit.
We are hoping to source those parts, for now we've had customers successfully install what we offer.
When I reinstalled the digitizer and LCD, I tested the screen and it was very dim. I checked the LCD connection and it was aligned properly. Any advise on how to fix this issue?
It's funny that you made a video of 5 minutes and I see others 1 hour lol
very informative brothers thanks for sharing
Exactly the information that I needed. Thank you so much, your instruction is excellent.
We do have no-solder-required parts now, but they sell out fast.
use a blue triangle guitar pick!
actually the ipad mini has magnet on both sides.
but this small magnets on the corners. what is that for?
Juan Rosales the iPad smart cover
my ipad mini just broke n i have to do this
I replaced my screen digitizer.
I must have done something to the charging port motherboard..
everything works except it won’t take a charge or show up on my computer ITunes.. once the new battery dies..I can’t recharge.. any tips? I did about 10 different cleaning procedures to port.. I see I scratched one of the 2 long thin bronze colored Metal parts coming from the charging port, with a screw driver taking off the protective tape..
Hi I can you tell me what part of an i pad is the actual storage compartment? I think my iPad has a deeper issue. So I was wondering if i can remove the storage compartment and replace it into a second ipad.
Ugh, it's a chip on the logic board. If you want to know more look up Jessa Jones from iPad Rehab on RUclips. You'd probably be better off sending the two iPads to her to do the work and pay for her time, its worth it if you really need to get your data. But at-least its doable.
Did the new digitizer come with a home button? Thanks
Short vid but the best one👍
I cannot get the screen off. I have heated all around the iPad for over 1 minute. it's hot on every corner but will still not come up with suction cup. I try to slide putty knife in but will not go in. help me please!!
Thanks man worked like a charm!
how difficult is to repair the ipad mini screen for some one with no experience or rapairing skills?
could you give some advices and warnings to avoid making big mistakes?
I accidentally rip one of the mount tapes from the LCD does that affect the LCD!? Because now i see the screen really low Bright
Hi, before ios 7 comes out, I want to be replace my ipad mini. Replacing an entirely new ipad sounds great, but its also really expensive. Then I found this video, and realized it is a lot cheaper, but it definitely looks risky. Incase i ever do think about doing this, can you give me any advice of doing this right so I won't risk breaking my ipad. How often do you think people watch this and get it right without breaking their devices without experience of practicing these steps?
and what if someone drops their magnets???
from the corners...hmmm SORRY FOR THE CAPS. MOST OF THESE REPLACEMENT SCREENS DONT COME WITH MAGNETS...they are wake/sleep sensors....compass might be affected also..
Thank you! This worked for me. Much appreciated.
Each time I try to affix the new screen to the tablet, its upper right and lower left sides pop up after a few hours, despite having more adhesive strips to keep them down, and I keep heating them and putting them weight to apply pressure and allow the adhesive to set in place. What am I doing wrong?
You could try to clean the adhering edges with alcohol. Clean both the inside of the iPad and the back of the digitizer. Clean it very thoroughly. Make sure all previous adhesive residue is removed and that the edges are dry and oil-free.
How do you know that both the LCD and Digitizer needs to be replaced??? I have an ipad mini that is cracked, but the LCD underneath still works.
Hello,
i changed digitizer on my iPad mini, it works fine, but only for a week.
Now the digitizer stops reacting, home button works.
Can you help me?
What is the price of screen and folder
