Thank you for the detailed video in regards to how the ribbons are meant to be mounted. Most other videos don’t show or explain that.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@yazmat96]

Don’t cut the flex cable! And everytime disconnect the battery before disconnecting anything elese!!

[@ivebeenframedartsuppliescu1687]

Thanks. Very helpful!

Thx super easy and nice video!

[@Tinkertwelve]

thank you!! i followed thru!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Awesome !

[@KarenniTalkshowKTS]

Thank you very much. I just replaced mine with your help.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped

[@danbulmer]

thankyou so much. I managed to replace the screen digitizer on my mothers 1st gen ipad. The only mistake I made was a little too much heat on my initial corner which blemished a little bit of the corner of the screen. Barely noticable. Thanks again!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@cecybgarcia]

Thank you so much! Your instructions were pretty spot on! First time trying to do this and everything you provided was excellent. Successfully replaced my screen! :) The only thing i had trouble with was popping the final glass piece since my kit did not come with adhesive tape so there was a bit of a gap between the screen and casing. I think it was mostly around the area with the black tape surrounding the screen overlay 16:30 section. I think thats where the tape didnt hold well but other than that your instructions were perfect thank you so much!! You saved my kid and me $100+ bucks!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@rishardlampese8947]

I can see now why you'd prefer to reuse your own home button if possible. I mutilated the ribbon receptical trying to get the ribbon in there right, so no home button for me now. Fortunately you can get home simply by swiping up on the screen. Everything else went pretty smoothly. Thanks for posting!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Sorry to hear about your home button.

[@user-zi4ev5wn9r]

8.21 excellent prompt to take a wipe to my own monitor

[@holygrailer6643]

Good video! I just wish you provided a bit more information on how to install the home button ribbon. When I took it off, I couldn’t tell how it was connected so I had to watch a different video. Would have been nice to have a one stop shop. But still appreciate the effort you put into this video!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

[@finnlucas9765]

i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@douglasjamison4936]

@Finn Lucas Instablaster =)

[@finnlucas9765]

@Douglas Jamison Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@finnlucas9765]

@Douglas Jamison it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@alexstoyko2922]

I followed the video and made a mistake. I attached LCD screen, put 3 screws and tried to turn IPod on. It didn't work and I tried to reconnectl LCD screen connector. During the reconnecting I felt smoke smell and recalled that I didn't shut IPod of... the try was unsuccessful, but thanks for video

[@ulunkwulunk]

What size is the screw

[@TheI.L.Y]

thank you i hope youre doing well

[@NordicAxe]

Thank you sir, that was really helpful.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome

[@roblet5047]

Hi very good video, thanks. It might help a bit by putting iPad on rubber pad or board holder when starting to remove glass, it was sliding about lol. Great video, thanks a bunch.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes. That's a good tip.

[@osagyefoghanaba]

Hi, What is the width of the double sided adhesive tape? Great video

[@UbergeeksBiz]

2mm

[@vivienli888]

Can you use a hairdryer on low if you don't have a heat gun?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes you can. Just gotta take a longer time to warm the adhesive tape

[@angiemendoza4947]

Hi, I belive took all the steps correctly but the iPad screen doesn't turn on it was working perfectly before changing the glass. Any idea what might I have done wrong ?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Try check all cables again making sure is seated firmly. If not, you can try disconnect the battery and reconnect them after.

[@abusieractorofsorts2553]

Thanks to your helpful demeanour and reassuring tone I have managed to not utterly balls this up thank you indeed sir. As another comment said, a little bit more guidance/zoom in with the home button would have been great as I copied what you did and kept the existing one and it's still not sitting quite right but works enough for my button thrashing needs. If the kids break the blooming thing again then they are watching this!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You can do it!

[@TRISTANorTRIS]

The home button supplied with new screen is no good?

[@kelleybryant9351]

The home button supplied with a replacement will not work with Touch ID. Apple cryptographically mates the original button hardware to the iPad to lessen the chance of anyone faking the input. The replacement works fine as a home button, just no Touch ID.

[@MGMG-he1xe]

Is the glass as fragile as the reviews say online or is it as good as quality as the ipad air brand new?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

3rd party glass is not as strong as Apple original glass.

[@TheClevaroChannel]

I am pretty sure that glass didn't work for long when bending those flex cables so carelessly

[@UbergeeksBiz]

After the repair, it is in tiptop condition. Working ever since.

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

is the heat gun on Low or on High setting?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

low heat

[@peterflynn9456]

What temperature does the heat gun need to be?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I just use my hand to feel it. Lol..

[@ulunkwulunk]

40 degrees celcius

@@airapondemira1767 This video is for screen replacement. Not sure what caused your ipad not powering on. Maybe bad battery ? or bad motherboard. Try local ipad repair shop for second opinion

[@TheWoveableBoy]

could I use a hair dryer???

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes you can. Just take a little longer to warm the broken screen

After I set my screen down, the bottom right corner will not stay down. Why is that?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Bottom right LCD ?

[@francisco7214]

@@UbergeeksBizYeah

[@UbergeeksBiz]

@@francisco7214 Did you put the bottom right corner screw to tighten LCD down ?

[@francisco7214]

@@UbergeeksBizSorry I meant the bottom right corner of the digitizer. I did screw the lcd down properly, the bottom right corner of the digitizer doesn't lay flat it sticks out just a bit

[@UbergeeksBiz]

@@francisco7214 Maybe some broken glass still stuck there? Or new digitizer screen cable did not tuck in before closing it ? Just double check, I think is a simple thing that causing the digitizer not seating flush.

[@checkcarreviews7527]

Looks like it had ghost touch problem

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Did you cover the digitizer sensor on the back ?

Just fixed mine also my thing didn’t come with glue where can I get it

Are you referring to tape ? or glue that holds the home button bracket ? amzn.to/3esLE72 amzn.to/32y9FVR

Do you want to mail in your iPad for repair ? If you don't have heat gun, hair dryer will work too.

Use hairdryer

The scratches on the new screen! What happened? Video was good but the scratches !!!!!

[@TRISTANorTRIS]

Probably plastic film

[@Hoyaa]

Min 17:34 you're not suppose to tape the short ribbon cable to the screen, you have to let it hang under it I wish I didn't follow your step... Just because I followed this decision of yours I couldn't properly stick the new screen on that area... 👎 I should have followed the method that has been used on my previous broken screen... Disappointing....
