Thank you so much for posting this video. My little brother‘s iPad screen is cracked and now me and my dad can fix it.

[@dogdronesearchdd3782]

Put shrink wrap on the screen before removing and all that glass will stick to it instead of it going all over.👍 Nice videoclip

[@dennraeh]

@Nicole yes! Agreed, hot guy Michael Jackson.

[@sandhanitizer15]

Clear packing tape works a lot better! It holds the smaller pieces extremely well

[@thaonguyen-vz7fo]

This is my initial review since I just got the ipad and I'm hoping to update it when I've had it longer kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . I purchased one that was listed as "acceptable condition" and was a little worried about what it would look like. However, I am pleased with its condition. The back has some scuffs and a small dent near the logo. There are a few tiny marks at the bottom of the front of the ipad but the condition of the screen is perfect. There are no scratches or anything. I was able to set it up, use it, and it charges fine. I'm hoping it continues to work well for me. So far it was worth the purchase. Also shipping was fast. The item came one day earlier than expected

[@theblackscot]

Thanks for posting this - it helped reduce my nerves a ton! A few cautions for your audience - I have an iPad Air (v1 - model 1474) and my connecting cables were on bottom right. Also, I recommend wearing protective eye wear - many of the glass screen shards can scatter as you pry.

[@jennyprorock]

You just saved my son's ipad! Thank you!!!!! Seriously,thank you!

[@christinefraley3031]

Thank you! I just cracked my brand new iPad and wanted to cry! Now I feel better knowing I have a way to fix it myself. Awesome video!

Hey, Mike. I replaced my first iPad screen, with your video. It was very, very helpful. Thank you so much! Keep posting!!

[@MikesInventions]

Good deal! Glad it helped. Too bad you're not here anymore. Thanks for watching.

[@diegogolfhotel]

Tip: be VERY careful with the glass! I’ve been fixing iPhones and iPads for several years, and the iPad is CONSIDERABLY more frustrating to fix. While the iPhone is one entire screen module, the iPad has not only the glass, but a digitizer under. Be extremely careful in avoiding touching the digitizer, and be hateful with glass exploding in your face. The glass may get everywhere, so be careful with your eyes, mouth , nose and even shoes. Best of luck to everyone, if anyone has questions regarding replacement let me know.

[@tyler2850]

Just put tape over the glass

[@Zoyaofficialahmed1]

Hello my iPad is actually broken or what idk actually my iPad screen went all black and the screen had a crack we tried everything it’s on opening pls tell me how I do it .

[@diegogolfhotel]

@@Zoyaofficialahmed1 if I were you I would take it to a repair shop asap. What year is your iPad from ?

[@Thewaterspirit57]

So basically, a mask, gloves and shoes could help to prevent glass from going into the wrong place. right then.

[@diegogolfhotel]

This is the best video on glass replacement. You say exactly what I was thinking the first time. Great job!

[@MikesInventions]

Well thanks Jons! I really hope I never have to do it again. ;-)

[@demetrius9291]

Amazing video! This really helped me out. At first I had a fear of trying to repair my brothers iPad, and breaking it even more. I’ll just show him this video, and tell him it’s not THAT complicated. 👌

[@anglershubliam7121]

Good point

[@emyscavante4588]

Thanks for sharing this. My iPad 4 dropped a couple of weeks ago, and got cracked at the bottom, right below the home button, while also leaving a few cracks on the bezel sides as well a very long crack that goes from the bottom to the top. Mind you, it had the original Apple SmartCover closed, when it dropped. It's still usable, but I don't think I could all that by myself. Might try dropping it to a friend who does repairs. Regardless, I'm kinda pissed by the poor quality of such expensive items. Not even my Note 3, that dropped a couple of times, never substained any damage.

[@Tanoaproductionsfiji]

Thank you. It really gave me confidence to know that you started not knowing how to do this (meaning not very experienced like me) but eventually figured it out. Good job on this video!

[@MikesInventions]

You're Welcome. And thank you for the nice comment. Yeah, figuring stuff out is my superpower. Thanks for watching. Good luck on your repair.

[@YanniB0i]

Does this support 6th gen? Please answer.

[@MikesInventions]

@@YanniB0i I don't know. All the iPad's I've seen are basically the same. So I'd bet the steps to fix the digitizer are about the same, just find the appropriate kit online.

[@bedbug7372]

Do you think you can add the link onto the video desc?

[@amberdubrosky8778]

I cracked my screen on my iPad a few years ago just by grabbing it and it still works but sometimes I have an issue with the touch screen I can’t even use a stylus anymore in it because it doesn’t read it properly where my cracks are

[@enderlynxwilloze7935]

Who else is watching as their expensive is so shattered that you can only use a stylus ? I accidentally shattered mine but luckily it still works! I broke mine again but it still works bahahaha

[@Happybidr]

Thanks, Mike, this was very helpful. The other alternative is to pay somebody about $100 or so to come to your house or go to their business and they will replace it. That’s probably what I’ll do, along with replacing the battery. But I can afford a new one, so maybe I’ll just get that and call it a day...? I wish Apple stores were open...bummer.

[@kayBTR]

Thank you for showing how to replace the screen. Excellent video. Makes me feel so much better that mine can be fixed!

Great job! Did you put a hard case on it afterwards? I’m going to try changing the glass soon on my daughter’s iPad. Thanks!

[@ruraledition]

I replaced the screen on mine but the LCD screen wasn't working anymore. It worked fine before I replace the touch screen. Somehow I managed to damage the LCD display screen. Now I need to buy a new one of those. Thanks anyway

[@CheckYa]

Maybe just try re-connecting all contacts

[@midnighthour733]

Awesome, I knew the screen had to be heated but didn't know how. This is great and really I'm A+ certified so all these gadgets are basically the same. Laptops are no problem and desktops are super easy, and phones are also. FIX your own stuff and don't be afraid.

[@nancyvera2541]

i replace de screen in my iPad but by accidente when i was cleanning the extra glass es y scratch the LCD AND NOW THE IPAD DOESNT WORK, THAT CAN BE THE REASON OR I HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING AGAIN.

[@RiffRaffMama.]

Carefully take it apart again and check you connected everything nice and tight and correctly and nothing is bent, trapped or crushed. Then check again. Unless you gouged out a 3mm wide trench in the LCD there's no reason a scratch would kill it.

[@thewolfalphagachi4098]

I got my ipad fixed . just 2 days ago and it broke though there was screen saver on it. I tried to remove the screen it just came off and there is a cable connected to the screen from home button and. And one from side .it was not glued correctly so i could remove it .now if i order the screen can i fix it by myself cables are not broken though they are intact eith golden part on it.how do i remove them to put back under the glass screen

[@firstlast4874]

Looks like an incredibly easy way to pick up tiny glass shard splinters in your fingers. BTW, how do you know if you also need the LCD? It makes quite a difference in pricing

[@naturekitkat4079]

what happens if u don’t have a screen protector

[@justanotherperson584]

Lol at the end of the video you said that $18 was well worth it instead of spending $200 for a new one!!! I’m writing on 09/23/2023 and I happened to find my old gen 2 iPad with a cracked screen and I took it to get fix and the estimate was $200 to replace a broken screen!!! Lol I don’t need to buy a new one; and I only need this iPad for when my granddaughter gets in car and she can watch her favorite movies when travel gets a bit boring… so idk I guess I’ll venture to try to fix this myself! Wish me luck!

[@kawaiidumpling5941]

I have a question, is it normal for ur ipad to be unable to turn on after this? My dad tried this on my sisters ipad (super broken) but when she finished playing with it earlier it had like 60 percent charge so my sister was rlly bummed. Please answer asap

[@Pixelreboot]

Love your energy!

[@cj_productions436]

ok all done ipad is like new thanks Mike appreciate your video- anyone can do this with a little patience (1.5 hrs), heres my experience (in no particular order) and believe me if you can figure out a modern DVD player you can do this and save yourself alot- 1. hair dryer at corner at least 60 seconds to loosen glue, use screwdriver instead of silly spactula you get with kit far better good grip 2. take photos as you go when recontacting screen always gold contacts in DOWN position 3. if glass cracked near edge start there first, need to get LCD screen out of way with four screws as soon as possible then can get rid of rest of ipad face- if LCD damaged its over 4. remember the thin white rubbery seal surround has a stick back tape on the back need to take that off so can seat easily on ipad before putting on new screen 5. get rid of all old screen plus glue or else new screen will not sit correctly should take 5 mins with screwdriver but always delicate movements not forcefull as is first lesson when dealing with an ipad Get rid of all debris in ipad vacuum shake outside etc 6. if old screen edge difficult to remove hair dryer for 2 mins (only 2 inch at a time) then leave for 1 minute (lets glue absorb heat) then go with screwdriver (should take about 30 mins to get rid of old screen this is the major part of the job so dont rush it) 7. new screen has see through cover on the inside and out remember to take these off 8. test ipad- home button might not work until ipad closed properly but if ipad starts up and you can put in your password you are good to go IF NOT you need to go back and check the screen/ipad connections remember always gold contacts down (ie when you contect leads you shouldnt see the gold contacts) 9. when working on ipad put removed LCD screen in drawer so dosent pick up dust 10. One of the screen connections is very thin and extremely fragile and will easily nip, i found reconnecting this the hardest part of the whole process it took me around 20 mins to finally get it to connect with ipad body, i moved the screen and ipad until it was best location to try and get it in, i also used twissers and a small screwdriver and i finally got it in but it was difficult- i couldnt get it in with just my fingers 11. After everything done and ipad is back together i put on carpet and covered with a towel and put a weight on top to press done on the ipad to make sure the seal was tightned up
