iPad 7th Gen Screen Replacement! (10.2 inch iPad) Tutorial

[@AffordableTechChannel]

Hey all! Please be aware - I made a mistake when transferring the home button, there is a bumper/part that needs to go on the new screen, so please don’t forget to transfer! Also, using a blow dryer is time consuming and is not nearly as good an option as purchasing a small heat wand/gun on Amazon. I would highly suggest doing so as it would’ve made the process much less messy. Thanks everyone!

[@jamesjohn2230]

May I ask, does the amount of damage matter? Is there a minimum of damage you must obtain to replace your screen?

[@reviewit9529]

If you would like the prosses to be a bit less messy you can put tape on the screen, this will also help the suction cup to stick is you screen is very badly cracked.

Can you tell me how to reinstall the “ fun part”as you called it

[@brandonhall1085]

I’m a professional technician and have had my business open for a couple of years. Overall, I’ve been in this field for well over a decade. Shame on you other people that do repairs of this nature for a living or on the side. You did a good job man and your attitude towards the unnecessary negativity that others have posted, is very good as well. Those with the negativity posts are more than likely the type of person that has to always find out a way to “one up” another individual. I always encourage DIY’ers to take some time and challenge yourselves. This is definitely a good repair for that and the bottom line with this repair, as with all repairs is to TAKE YOUR TIME. You’re very detailed and a good friend of mine sent me this video or else I prolly wouldn’t have came across this video. Again, great job man. Keep up the good work.

[@santaanarivervalleyhoneyco3428]

@@thebagfreak911 About an hour. But, I made a mistake, breaking the home button connector. So, another repair kit needed PLUS a new home button. Still a lot cheaper than buying a new one.

Always wear nitrile gloves for this repair as the tiny glass shards can embed themselves in your fingertips. Another tip use clear packing tape to secure the glass before removing it - this way additional glass spitters wont fly across the room.

Just used this to repair grandson's iPad. Worked perfectly. Excellent step by step. $23.95 on Amazon. Thank you!

[@drpill1230]

Thank you for this guide, it was extremely frustrating process that took four hours to finish because everything was disconnecting every time I tried to put back the LCD screen and the wires would not connect until I got lucky after a few minutes. The screen I bought was from amazon was around 23$ and 9-12$ shipping being 35$ total. The part I reused from the broken screen were the home button. Don’t trust the adhesive that the screen provides if it does, I use super glue to attach the screen. This was extremely cheap repair but you pay with time repairing it. If you are terrible at this kind of repair work give it to a local store to repair it not a apple store, it saves lots of time.

[@mariannedawson8721]

I found this video to be excellent. I thought the guidance was accurate that I could do it on my own. You have seen my other posts where I am having trouble getting mine to work properly. The digitizer does not respond. I get a small square like a text bubble with the slide button partly in that bubble and partly outside of it. Other times it appears as it should but I cannot slide to shut it down. I am at a loss now. So close and no success.

Just got mine in the mail today. kzbin.infoUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.

[@ashmoe123]

My children have iPads, and Amazon kids tablets. They’ve had the iPads for 2.5 years both screens are cracked. Although they have Amazon tablets I find my autistic daughter enjoying the iPad better. The password, and apps process is less complicated. I will use your tips to fix them myself, and save $400+. I will let you know how it goes! Thank you so much!

I just finished repairing my ipad screen today! It took about five hours though but its fixed and working. Btw you have to be very precise with you placement when it comes to the home button because i got mine basically almost perfectly centered and its still a little clicky but still good tutorial.

[@ThereseSherman]

Thanks for the video Affordable Tech. I tried my first iPad crack glass replacement yesterday and found it way harder than fixing phones. You gave some good tips about removing the mangled digitizer. People need to see videos where the glass is cracked because showing a tutorial on an intact screen isn't realistic. Well done.

iPad is working great. Only thing that wasn’t mentioned in this video, unless I missed it, was how to tuck the ribbons for the lcd so that they won’t interfere with the digitizer sitting flat. That area won’t sit perfect like the rest of the digitizer even though I didn’t beat to tuck the ribbons. I can apply light pressure and it will look awesome but it will continue to lift slightly in that area. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello. I finished but can’t type in the code to unlock the screen. Does that mean I didn’t seat the screen well enough and now my taps aren’t activating the digitizer?

This video helped me through the steps. I have question when I turned my ipad on the screen was jumping around as though it was pushing and touching the screen without me touching. It resulted improperly inputting my security code and locking me out several times until it was permanently locked. My question is , what do you think I did wrong? Can I fix the screen? Also fyi I did lose two tiny screws, would that affect it? Also I use the wet wipe and the dry wipe on the LCD screen , was that a wrong thing to do? Regardless, I enjoy the challenge and thought your video was very thorough and clear. I hope you can advise as to where I went wrong. Thank you , I hope you have time to respond

Will these screen glass will work with any of the higher end pencils? Logitech or Apple

[@thatfeeble-mindedboy]

… Excellent video only thing I would add, based on my experience is that after you have cleaned the LCD surface or the screen surface with a alcohol wipe or whatever you used, the only thing I have ever tried that works every time, and works completely, (meaning, no matter what angle I look at it from I absolutely cannot see any streaks, swirls, or anything else on the surface) is to get the finest, highest quality microfiber cloth you can get your hands on, and fog the surface with your breath, and polish it with the microfiber… By definition, the moisture in your breath that condenses on the surface is distilled water in the strictest sense of the word, and polishing that dry with the microfiber cloth leaves absolutely nothing behind… This will work on a mirror or any other kind of glass, just be aware the cooler the surface, the more water will condense onto it.
