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 KZbin 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 KZbin connectivity by jailbreaking and manually setting the API version to the one accepted by KZbin servers. What a mess with artificial obsolescence.

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.

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?

It works differently on 64-bit devices, you can only save blobs while the iOS version is still being signed by apple iirc.

[@keithwhisman]

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.

[@tencbit2132]

Hugh Jeffreys:fixes iPad Apple:wait that's illegal

[@ΧρήστοςΔημακόπουλος-ζ5ε]

"... which makes the repair very difficult." That should be the moto of Apple

[@Finix.W]

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.

[@Joshe505reborn]

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!

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.

[@megakarlachofficial]

@@xl7667 i have a A7 iPad here (the mini 2) that worked just fine on iOS 12 (which is last to support anything with 1GB RAM, in my cases, i have to save SHSH blobs and then try my best to replace iOS 9, which is somehow very difficult due to NAND was corrupt and the iOS 9 just got stuck checking for updates. The only reason why newer ios have issues mainly because example, like ur installed something into ipad and its started to bloat and slowing down, this is exception on iPhone 4s cases, as its need to either run on the lighter version of iOS 9 with more limitations, or just stuck on iOS 7 as the last.

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

I once had my old ipad pro 9.7 repaired for cracked screen (not by me mind you). After 1 month of use the screen started to come off and home button stopped working. So I decided to take matters in my own hands and opened it up. No matter how I positioned the home button bracket, HB didnt work. So I thought screw it lets just seal it up, so I cleaned the old adhesive very well (took me about 2H) and applied freshly bought adhesive that looked like yours. All looked well for 2 weeks after which the screen came off again. I was so frustrated, my xperia z1 after home battery replacement still works well. What did I do wrong?
