iPad 7 Smashed Touch FPC Connector. How To Easily Replace It. Microsoldering Repair

[@GatorFan6911]

I considered a sarcastic comment about how in depth this process was… but your video and the info you provided is top notch. Great job, and thanks! I’m just going to eat $300 and get another iPad for my daughter after I botched the digitizer replacement. Note: removing the face on this particular model was more difficult than any other I’ve repaired.

Thank you! If you're in the US, I offer mail in service, so you can fix it for less than a replacement: www.vccboardrepairs.com/contact-us

Just used this video to successfully replace both touch FPCs I managed to mangle while changing a digitiser on an iPad 7. Screwed up 2 FPCs with my first attempt then watched this video and successfully replaced - all now working 😁 Thanks Jessie, brilliant video as always. Just purchased one of your seek pro stands from Replacebase in the UK 👌

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

That's amazing! Congrats. And thank you for purchasing a Seek Stand.

[@techgurund]

Thanks for saying what materials you use, helps a lot compared to other videos I’ve seen

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Happy to help! 🙏

[@JasonEddy-b9m]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing your equipment/supply list. What size/type tip were you using on your soldering iron? I have a Weller solder station. That tip looked pretty small. Thanks in advance.

[@mikesenesouk531]

Congratulations! You're Louis Rossman's favorite dude. He can't seem to stop mentioning you.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Haha thank you 🙏

[@brandonhall1085]

Great job man. Very informative video as well. Thanks for committing the time to do so.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Jesse great video, just wodering that even if the lcd/digitizer FPC conenector are not working is still possible to put the ipad in DFU mode to recover the data??

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Not that's not possible Only way to get data is to boot it up, unlock the screen and trust the PC

[@Amir_-le9sw]

thanks...very good video

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thank you

I managed to damage both of the fpc connectors on an ipad 7... I was only changing a charge port (which one of your vids helped me with removing a perfectly good digitiser and lcd) now I'm changing both fpc sockets on the board and the other side on the digitiser ribbon. Plus I managed to drop the good lcd.... I think I should stick to games consoles.....screens are a pain in the a** Think I need more practise, thanks for your vids they have really helped!

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Oh no. That's the worse! Hope you get it all resolved

[@AMCTechRepairs]

@@VCCBoardRepairs all connectors changed successfully! Just need to clean and put back together! Fingers crossed!

hello there new subscriber camming from Louis Rossman channel... nice videos very educational congrats! Can I ask you how you make the meter (volt amp) showing on the screen of the pc when you turn the ipad on? Your power supply dosent have usb connectivity... which software and hardware are you using??? thx keep it going we need you

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thanks for the sub! I am using the Power Z USB Meter along with their PC software. Then with OBS, I just create a source to share that software on the screen. You can get it here: amzn.to/3oJDvlF

[@alexluz7023]

@@VCCBoardRepairs ah ok i also have the power-z usb normal one.. didnt knew about obs.... thx for reply

[@JAB227]

Did you change your temp & fan speed when installing the connector?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yes! I believe it was 400c/80 air. You can see it on the upper right corner

[@Dude929-f6y]

Sir how do we check the fpc connector is damaged or display is damaged

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

visually inspect it. and diode mode the pins

I got the connector from donor iPad and it works perfectly fine , it is stronger .

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

That's awesome!

[@al-watanbhai5097]

@@VCCBoardRepairs Thanks a lot Brother,so you use 400 even for Ic removal?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Usually yes.

[@LifenSantaBarbara]

I just replaced the digitizer on my daughters iPad 7 and now the touch screen is not working. I suspect this is the problem but I already messed it up once, how can I send it to you for repair?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Does the connectors on the board look damaged?

[@philitoZ1]

I just have an ipad with that problem! LOl good video!

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

So then I published this at the right time! haha

[@TheGildedViking]

I need the thing that you plug into the FPC to be fixed

[@Neeraj_kumar]

Awesome 😎😎😎

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thank you!

How much do you charge for this if I mail in a iPad 9th generation

Hi. Reach out to me directly for a quote: www.vccboardrepairs.com/contact-us

It’s also easy job for me

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Easy peasy!

[@BirdManPhil]

Maybe I'm just lucky, but in 100's of ipad digitizer replacements I have never disconnected the battery and still have never blown a backlight. Sometimes I'm even connecting the lcd while the ipad is on
