iPad 6th A1893 A1954 Screen Replacement - Step by step

[@MegKenworthy]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I fixed my kids' ipad screen and saved a whole lot of money (really just saved their boredom because I wasn't going to buy a new one!).

[@UbergeeksBiz]

When the Screen is cracked like this Placing shipping tape on the screen prior to removal should help in reducing the shards of glass. Very thorough and nicely produced video.

no shit

anyone with a brain would do that i hope

[@stevedonalson5675]

@@dodortx no shit, common since isn’t so common sometimes.

[@ClausenLT]

I checked the comments to write this myself. I already put box tape on it to keep my daughter from cutting herself while waiting for the replacement screen and to keep pieces of glass from falling off in the mean time. I'm in autobody, and they have what's called collision wrap, which is basically giant sheets of flexible tape.

[@morganhackworth84]

I so wish I would have read this before doing mine 😭 I didn’t know it would crack as bad as it did… functioning screen but glass everywhere

[@davewhite16]

I’ve seen people use heated opening pads. I used my 3D printer heated bed with silicone pad. I set the temperature to 70 degrees and heated the ipad 6g for about 10-15 minutes. Worked like a charm! (Screen up) Printer is an Ender 3 Max.

[@funkbungus137]

haha awesome I was gonna try that, my new digitizer arrives tomorrow, I'll be usin a regular old ender 3 but still, good to know.

@@UbergeeksBiz Just wanted to ask, have you ever experienced an issue with one of the the ribbon cables for the new digitizer not “snapping” into place? I ended up having to put some electrical tape behind it to keep it pressed onto the connector. Unfortunately the screen is having intermittent problem with responding to touch, and I’m thinking the ribbon cable issue is related to this.

10:10 I would think the putty like material placed in the corners with the screws is to stabilize and reduce shock given these are the locations joining the screen and case.

[@chillbill8591]

Two things that he didn't mention that is extremely helpful for this repair is. 1. If you dropped your iPad you probably left a dent somewhere so try and smooth it out for new glass. 2. Put a sheet of paper between the lcd and broken screen so you dont drop any pieces on screen.

[@Butecosmetics]

Thank you so much this was helpful. i must let you know though most screens (including the 1 in this video) comes with adhesive already on the new screen so you dont need the double sided tape..just peel off the blue film to reveal the sticky glue and then close the screen.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped. Yes, I agreed to pre-adhesive tape on new screen. But I find them not sticky. After few weeks, the new screen starts to come off. Hope your stay glued in for good.

[@BeckVMH]

10:10 I would suspect the putty material beneath the screws is to further stabilize those four connection points between the frame and LCD. Otherwise, the screws would be prone to shock and wear over time causing the connection points being less secure.

[@calamariaxo]

@Quinn Fogarty Like 1 hour or so I guess. I messed around a bit due to the home button. Switching it out wasn't a problem, but the thing that seats it was a bit loose on mine and I couldn't make it fit the new screen assembly well. I used some E6000 glue and random plastic bits to keep it from wiggling too much. ID still works fine to this day.

[@Swappr]

@@calamariaxo for the tape at 16:24 did you use regular or double sided tape

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. I'm glad the video helped.

[@thedubiouswizard]

Make sure you follow his steps and don't assume anything as I did. The ribbon cable adhesive for the digitizer must be applied before attaching it to the mainboard. I tried attaching after, didn't go flush. I attempted to peel it back off to reapply and the cable ripped at the bend. Very fragile. the adhesive I'm referring to is the one with tan prep paper with green lettering.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for the comment to helping others.

[@roberts1523]

Had the exact same problem, very important to get it nice and flat

[@AugyTekCEO]

I know this video is about a year old, but a customer pointed me to it and I would like to correct a few things for anyone still watching and thinking about repairing it on their own. 1. ALWAYS use safety goggles. Even if your screen isn't that "spidered" it only takes 1 shard of glass 1 mm across to end your sight permanently in that eye. ALWAYS use an ESD (electrostatic discharge) wrist guard (once you have glass removed and unit is opened up in this case) and NEVER perform this repair with carpet underneath you. 2. NEVER use a hair dryer, always use an adjustable hot air gun. Decent ones start at $50, and better ones are 75-100. 3. NEVER use a metal pry tool like this guy did. They are for experienced people that know EXACTLY where to pry, and where not to. Buy a cheap pack of playing cards and use those to slide under instead after using a small flat (and dull) xacto blade to lift up the edge. If you feel abnormal resistance, then you likely are not properly underneath the adhesive, or it is not hot enough. Mark the spot with a marker and start somewhere else, or reheat and try again. Remember that the adhesive strips are typically 1/8th of an inch wide thereabouts in most places, but there are places that are smaller. For novices, watch this video and mark with a permanent marker where the cables are at so you remember, it's much easier. Also, if you happen to slide the card in too far and you can see it beyond the inner rim of the digitizer, you are less likely to permanently scratch the LCD screen. (Maybe some adhesive residue you have to GENTLY clean off, but that's about it.) 4. When you are dealing with the "gunk" under the screw holes of the LCD, you can also use the hot air gun to release them, just remember to wiggle the hot air gun back and forth while you GENTLY lift on the LCD near the corner so you don't damage the LCD corner with heat or burn your fingers. If it's too hot through your gloves, then it's too hot for the LCD. 5. If you ordered a cheap replacement screen off Amazon and your sensor panels around the viewable glass area are exposed and there isn't already a pad or buffer on top of it, send it back. DO NOT try to cover it yourself. It is VERY easy to damage these sensors, and even the oils from your fingers can do it, or can corrode them later on. (You should be wearing pierce and heat resistant gloves anyway.) 6. Also, if adhesive is NOT preinstalled, send it back, unless you are familiar with how to use very thin pieces of adhesive, this is VERY difficult for a novice or the inexperienced to do correctly. 7. NEVER use Loctite, or any other Permanent type adhesive substance. It guarantees you will never be able to do a repair the same way again. At least not easily. 8. To clean the edges of the chassis where the old adhesive was, you may (CAREFULLY) use a small flat razor xacto blade (preferably dull) to scrape adhesive. You may also dip the blade into 99% isopropyl alcohol first to help with the removal. DO NOT use anything other than 99%. It does not evaporate and leaves residue and contaminants behind and your new adhesive will not adhere as well. 9. ALWAYS take a can of air and (holding the can of air as upright normal as possible so you don't spray liquid) blow off the LCD screen and inside of the Digitizer before you place it down for testing AND AGAIN before final adhering. 10. When you test the new digitizer, also test your home button functionality. The touch will not be exactly functional as the sensors will still be a bit wonkey because the glass isn't perfectly flat. As long as you can touch something and it responds, cool, it works. 11. And this one should arguably be the first... If you are not comfortable AT ALL with ANY of this repair, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. Yes, by getting the tools and digitizer yourself you might save 50 or 60 bucks vs. taking it to a repair shop, plus you now have proper tools for another job in the future. But is it really worth that? If you are going to do a "one and done" repair, it's really not. If you have no interest in doing any other types of repairs, or aren't comfortable with electronic repairs, then just pay the extra and let a professional do it. Find one that has good reviews and can explain the process in depth to you prior to selecting one. Plus, whether doing it yourself OR using a professional 3rd party repair service, you are indirectly supporting the right to repair movement, and telling Apple and other big companies to go take a hike with their BS. Hope that all helps. Otherwise, this is a semi-decent video, and if nothing else explains the common things that inexperienced people wouldn't necessarily be aware of. Edit: Original 4 and 6 were removed due to this being a model that does not have the requirement to slide a pick under the battery connection. Wish apple would make up their freaking minds.

[@AugyTekCEO]

One other thing I forgot to mention.... If your glass is not completely shattered, and don't want to waste a bunch of time like this guy did, try using shipping tape to place over the screen to prevent the glass from cracking further. Use the HIGHEST quality shipping tape you can find. Like 8-10 dollar a roll stuff. It might take you some time to cover all the cracks, but will save you more time in the long run usually if you are careful and patient when removing the adhesive.

[@wcaboutre355]

Internet police officer Brian, you don't need to correct him - you didn't seem to even see or hear his warning about safety glasses.

[@haileyrich1743]

So what kind of glue can people use to adhere the home button back to the new digitizer?? If you’re going to say what not to use, please provide info on what can be used.

[@andreross3610]

I ripped the home button will it still work minus the finger scan?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Sorry to hear that. If you replace with other home button, the touch ID will not work. You can only press as normal home button.

[@richro65]

I have replaced the screen on my iPad twice and I can't get it to stick down. The first one did not stay down and that's how it broke. I tried again and same problem. I scraped away all of the old adhesive and cleaned it with acetone but the adhesive that comes with the screen is not strong enough. Is there some kind of glue I can use? I tried CA glue last time and it did not hold.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Hi, I use this red adhesive tape. And it works like a champ !. Adhesive Red Tape: amzn.to/2CGZsu3

[@rorythomas3084]

You’re either not cleaning the old adhesive off enough, (should be all gone, bare metal) or else a corner is dented so the new display won’t fit right

[@CSab-ui2jt]

I used the double sided adhesive and while it was hard to get right, I eventually got it. If you want to use glue, B7000 works.

[@dronesetc9769]

I think the ribbon cables get bunched up or jammed up on the edge, I've done many screens and have had to super glue it on the side where the ribbon is (and it still isn't flush). I've watched many videos was hoping this one would show that part. the ribbon just sticks up or out a little probably on these aftermarket $15 screens. I'm gonna make some drone , ipad and apple laptop repair videos detailing all the stuff others leave out.

Hello, I fixed my screen just like you said in the video, and everything was great, but I have a small problem. In one part of the screen there is an area, that doesn’t react anymore, it’s like a small “bar” in the middle that doesn’t react like a dead line. Do you know what to do?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Try remove and install the digitizer to make sure connector is seated properly. If that didn’t work, you have have a bad digitizer screen. Get another new screen. Test the screen first before putting the double sided tape.

It’s not a bad digitizer it’s the connection needs to be cleaned

No overlap. It will close just right.

[@carldickinson5812]

UberGeeks nice one buddy

[@kennyrogers3919]

Awesome how to video but why the tape? The new screens come with adhesive on them

[@UbergeeksBiz]

The screen tape is not strong. After a while, the screen will not stick

[@luke5385]

Great video! May I ask how to remove the iPad screen without breaking it?

[@lazerdasher4717]

I don’t believe you can but again you can just get a replacement for $20

[@dronesetc9769]

Its tricky, a heat gun or hair dryer, patience working a thin metal or plastic thing around the edge. don't force it , took me months of practice to get screens off unbroken

[@shino8182]

Do you know if a hair dryer on heat mode instead of a heat gun will be enough ?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes. Just gotta heat up longer

[@shino8182]

@@UbergeeksBiz thank you !

[@stephenhall1453]

thanks it worked for me. but the cable of the screen gave me a hard time because it needs to be slide under the lcd

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I'm glad it worked. Thanks for the comment.

[@Pajeroexploring4x4]

Thank you so much I have done my ipad although the only thing is that the home button is a little wobbly is that normal?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

The bracket that holds home button, did you use adhesive gel glue to glue it ?

[@Pajeroexploring4x4]

@@UbergeeksBiz no

[@Pajeroexploring4x4]

But thanks ill try that next time

[@UbergeeksBiz]

@@Pajeroexploring4x4 Yea, if the bracket is not holding the home button from behind. When you press, the home button will slid back in and feel wobbly.

[@Pajeroexploring4x4]

@@UbergeeksBiz oh ok thank you

[@zackarshad8176]

I did everything but the touch screen isn’t working (The LED screen is turning on and fine), I haven’t sealed it shut yet, what can I do to fix it?

[@bastymanguy]

So you not supposed to use the E8000 or B7000 for glueing the screen down? I figured that would be better than adhesive tape.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You can use E8000 or B7000 to hold the home button bracket

[@travishuynh9721]

Yes need safety gogle

[@UbergeeksBiz]

OF COURSE !!!! Safety First.

[@travishuynh9721]

Especially when your iPad is falling apart

[@pfc4688]

Nice video bro but couldnt understand why removing the lcd was necessary? Im preparing to change a screen next week and every step i dont need to do is good :)

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You need to get to the digitizer for this replacement screen.

[@bastymanguy]

Lol, I wish Apple would design it so the cable for the lcd was elsewhere. So much extra work to get to the cable connectors

[@timothymaxwell6542]

What kind of tape you use to cover the screen sensor

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I use the same red adhesive tape to cover back screen sensor.

[@PaulHoward111]

@@UbergeeksBiz The sensor tape in the video was white.

[@Gelotalks]

Do you think I would have to replace my ipad screen just because half a side is popping out a little?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I think you have a bad battery. Maybe you have a swollen battery.

[@niklaslang423]

I have a question: There is a stripe on my display that does not work at all. Do you think it's enough to replace the glass (as shown in the video) or is the LCD panel itself broken and needs to be renewed?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

If it is display stripe, you need to change LCD screen.

[@niklaslang423]

@@UbergeeksBiz I may have explained it not correctly. It's not a visual stripe (like a black bar), but a stripe which is not touch responsive / can not detect touches 🤔

[@wayneoakprairie3212]

I followed the directions step by step. When it came to the part to reattach the lcd cover. It sparked when I was screwing the lid on. I completed the rest of the steps but now my screen won’t turn back on. Any idea what happened?

[@harvo6]

What size tape did you use

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Red double sided tape. See description, you can get it from Amazon
