How do you know if you need to replace the LED screen also

[@canan4433]

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out electronics board repair try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got great results with it.

[@phonekeosiharath5452]

Impressive video. Very helpful as I just successfully replaced my screen using this one that was about the perfect length and explanation. I don't know if you mentioned it, but the one of the screws...the upper left (if the camera is at the top) is longer than the others. I only discovered this because it wasn't seating properly so I had to compare the 4 screws. Nonetheless, this was the best video I've seen for this process of the 5-6 I saw. It establishes credibility for your site/group.

[@SamThompson-js7wq]

Looked at a lot of videos on this damaged screen replacment process and this one is the most concise, best documented one I found. Clear images, smooth transition for each step and clearly defined procedures with helpful hints. Professionally done video.

[@BroncoBill321]

Thanx.. am about to take this on and all seems a bit daunting but this video has made me more confident

[@TOAlexander]

Awesome! I have a severely cracked iPad Air and I just ordered parts to fix it. This video is amazingly helpful in fixing it! Thanks!

[@robbyg0100]

Great instructions. Wasn't able to buy the part here (UK) but the step-by-step guide is really good. Close-ups also really helped with identifying what is what and what goes where etc. I have now replaced my (son's (but it's really mine,)) iPad screen and it works perfectly.

[@Ronnie1001]

Thanks for your video, I was able to fix a severely shattered screen OK. But a warning to other viewers - you made it look like a 10 minute job, but it took me 4 hours to do! This was because it takes about 3 hours to get every single last trace of the smashed screen off without causing any internal damage and to clear all the tiny grains of shattered glass and films of residual glue from the metal casing to get it in a fit state to receive the new glass. Also, people should wear glasses as protection, as when a larger shard of glass is being removed it can suddenly shatter into tens of pieces flying through the air into your face. As you say, the home button needs to be transferred over - but since its whole assembly is glued to the remains of the glass (as is also a plastic frame for the camera and its color-temperature sensor) it's a good 20 minutes to get only that part into a clean enough state to be reused without wrecking it. Also, I did a full system test BEFORE removing the upper film from the double-sided tape and pressing the screen down - it would have been a nightmare if I'd had to get the screen off again if something didn't work. But I was successful in the end with your help - so thanks!

[@ButterflyGirlIsJacquieO]

Ronnie1001 What did you remove the glue with? Solvent or just scraping? Thank you, never done anything like this before and I’m doing a lot of information gathering first.

[@seshachary5580]

VERY EDUCATIVE AND CLEAR. GLAD NO MUSIC . THX

[@VLively11]

Thank you for this video, it saved me a ton of money. My removal of the screen was much harder then I would of liked. The screen was cracked pretty badly (digitizer only), and didn't want to come off clean even with it being taped as mentioned in the video. Other than that, the rest of the process was done fairly easily, and successfully as far I can tell.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

You're welcome. At times it can be more difficult depending on how the touch screen is damaged. Overall glad to hear our video was helpful. Thank you!

[@shaniquawade3203]

Thanks alot , I literally saved 80 bucks on getting my iPad fixed, I just did it all by myself, thanks to this video.

[@TL-ds8ux]

You packing tape hint in the beginning is gold. Gold Jerry! Thanks!

[@AlejandraVargas-so6ms]

Hi ! How did you disconnect the battery first?

[@nhbabz7358]

Wished you had turned ipad on to show us how the screen looked.

[@rocksteady-radio]

8 years, and this the first problem I had with it. On the phone, kicked over my drink🍹 jumped up and stepped on the iPad🥴 Great great video. The perfect tutorial. Kudos to you, and thank you🤝

[@Csimmons-jo8pb]

Glad to catch your live stream, James. Hope that you guys are having having a great night.

[@antiyano81]

Nice video, kudos!! But... the audio... i had to pump up the volume so i could here what you are saying. Besides that, nice vid. Thanks

[@johnheav]

This video could not have been better! Thank you.

[@nellym7119]

Omg thank you so much I know I'm only 12 but I DID IT!!😱👏🏼 I know this is late but whatever the hard part was taking off the cracked screen because all the Ices went everywhere

[@megannickolds5575]

Nelly M I

[@PippinPotter11]

Thanks for a great and educational video! I need to know just how much the replacement glass/ screen costs? I located a small co who said they'd charge me $80-$100 to actually come to my house and repair my iPad Air's shattered screen, but, by the time I was ready for them, I had misplaced their info, and lost them! This looks easy enough to where I could actually repair it myself though, so, please tell me, what do you charge? Thanks! ~Carol 11/16/14 @ 12:15pm

[@ferni199072]

I was pulling off the lcd flex cable and it didn't come off with the plate, and it broke can I replace that or fix it?

[@stoicfloor]

Thank you very much for all the videos! They're very clerk and deatailed so they're easy to follow! This saves me a lot of money and time!

[@Playa1094]

so got my new digitizer today... almost all the way done installing it and then realized no where in the video did it say you would need to put your old home button on the new digitizer... spent 10 minutes trying to figure out where the flex cable was might be something to add it was a pain and didn't know how to do it at first until my friend google came over and helped me figure it out

[@marcsee4072]

thanks man - great video and done my 1st screen for kiddies saved tones of $$$

[@maddyz22]

What can u replace he spongy adhesive thingy by the camera and upper left and right corners bc mine r gone

[@darrelclark2312]

Great. easy to follow instructions and demonstration! Thanks!

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

You are very welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@bengerber9853]

I'm having an issue where the digitizer will not fit back into the frame because the connectors get in the way and push up on the glass while I'm trying to fit it in. It seems to me like the connectors need to somehow fit under the LCD screen, but I'm having trouble accomplishing that. Any tips for this step?

[@Non91212]

Nice tutorial with good close ups, thanks.

[@haggis1999jm]

hiya after a repair on to ipad air 5 i have the exact same problem...before placing digitizer into screen assembly all works perfect ..test i do b4 removing adhesive.....but as soon as digitizer is placed into frame n turned on im getting a ghosting effect random stuff happening..take out all fine??? no crimps or bends in ribbons...seems as when it touches frame...do u think defective digitizers or need kapton tape over ribbons n around edge cheers james

[@ravndal15]

Nice of you to mention the home key needs replacing . There was no cable on the outer screen I bought and now my home button doesn't work.

[@irvangb94]

I have a cracked screen and my home button ain't working is there any way too fix the home button too or do i also have to replace that ?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

We do offer the iPad Air Touch screen and home button flex cable replacement. Replacing both would resolve this issue for you. Here are all the parts we offer www.repairsuniverse.com/ipad-air-screen-replacement-repair-parts.html

[@TheBobelly628]

Excellent video! Much appreciated!🎉

[@mongmemes]

Can I use a blowdryer instead of a heat thingy

[@3stans936]

Mellow Bear Yea, just do it on the highest settimg

[@josephhogarth9442]

Very detailed and assuring walk through! Replacing my LCD now.

[@lipecampeon]

Hola, mande cambiar el touch de mi ipad 2, y quedo funcionando perfectamente, pero la mitad de la pantalla se ve opaca, un tono como oscuro; me dicen que no se pudo apagar el ipad por precaución y que por esta razón la pantalla poco a poco se ira normalizando. Es cierto esto o que debo hacer? Muchas gracias

[@debo308]

If the screen is cracked do you have to remove the LCD underneath as well? Mine broke recently and I'm planning on fixing it

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Yes you need to remove the LCD. FIRST you need to disconnect the battery! Remove the LCD so you can clean and prep the area. Install all new and old parts then install the battery. You should be good to go after that.

[@huentertainment]

Thank you so much for sharing this great video, can you please tell me why after i replaced my screen ti my iPad air it's starts doing crazy things like moving app, trying to delete app and writing by itself? what's wrong :(

[@loghan93]

Hussein ALGBURI you all good now 😂, my iPad screen is broken

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Will you do a video on the iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

We'll have these videos soon, check back with us at a later date. Thanks

[@kuyperholland9962]

[@havoctheace1405]

Can I call someone to fix it in Canada cause I'm really bad at being gentle with things???please answer

[@claytonbrown7732]

Ok so this is very complicated for me where is my best bet to go for some one to repair it for me

[@ulunkwulunk]

Are you from crackpoxel?

[@print-master]

thanks man saved me$$$ great vid

[@jeet2330]

If I have an ipad and drop it and cracks are ther and I still have my warranty then can I still exchange my iPad Air

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

PippinPotter11 Our labor fee would be $80 in addition to the replacement part required. Please see this link here for our repair service information www.repairsuniverse.com/repair-service.html

[@rjred1760]

If my screen is shattered, but I can still use the iPad, do I have to remove the LCD still? Or can I just remove the screen and replace it?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

RJ Red In this case you would only require the touch screen digitizer. Your LCD will not need to be removed.

[@hananch1436]

Do you ship all over the world or in some counrtrys

[@JJ-go8ef]

Awesome tutorial thank you for sharing.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

Thanks for watching!

[@frederick6512]

Guys at a store online it says iPad Air fixes but no iPad Air 2 fixes. I have to ask will they still fix the iPad Air 2 screen anyway cos the fix is practically the same as the iPad Air fix?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+TheArcticPhsyco These are two different models and would require a different process. Possibly different rates.

[@pullingman6782]

I broke mine and half of the screen dosent work anymore

[@mapleleaf1603]

where do you buy the replacement parts at?

[@jennyphonefixmachinefactor1217]

Actually you can get all phone repair machines and accessories directly from us, as we are factory.

[@Semgil2023]

I got a problem on my iPad!is like when I drop the IPad Air,the half of the screen turn to pink,white,black and green and it cover half of the iPad Air so i can't see anything!can you help me?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

H3XGamer87|---GAMEPLAYVIDS---| Sounds like the LCD is the issue, You would want to replace the LCD to avoid this issue.

[@jbest911]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@unpossible11]

So i got a problem i set up my new screen but for some reason the bottom part of the screen doesn't work. The home button works and all but just the bottom and the top left of the screen does not work.. Please help

[@pullingman6782]

That happened to mine too

[@selfmade128]

where can I purchase the replacement screen?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

[@selfmade128]

[@alexandtrack]

good video, but film at a higher frame rate

[@donut2]

Did it thanks to you

[@iCornFlakes]

does the ipad air screen work on the ipad air 2?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

***** No, they will not.

[@pandatube1201]

Hey. I dont know so much about this but i broke my ipad screen(normal crack) are the LCD screen also broke?

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Panda Tube If you are still able to see the display the LCD shouldn't need replacing.

[@jdblaich]

At the very end the demo fails to show how to secure the digitizer cable away so that it doesn't bind. This is not a trivial task and sealing it in, or attempting to, can completely screw up the whole repair just because those tiny cables are difficult to secure out of the way so that they are not binding/putting pressure causing the screen to break away from the adhesive.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Jim Blaich We apologize for this and appreciate you pointing this out.

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

+Patrick Flores We apologize about this. Most new screen replacements will not include the home button and this does need to be transferred over.

[@MrBigpappaT]

Hi I've done everything but my lcd is still blank no display

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

You may want to try replacing the actually LCD to see if this helps.

[@thomasthetankengine2257]

+Repairs Universe hello mate my iPad is completely fucked and smashed screen is all kinds of weird colours, is it the screen and digitiser or the whole lcd screen. Thanks in advance and love the video my man ☺️👍

[@endermanboss5217]

+Repairs Universe I was crying when watching this

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

To How Seems to be your LCD that is the issue. But in all honesty you will also require your touch screen panel as it will get damaged in the repair process.

[@yebbo00]

Great video

[@JustAnotherGeekChannel]

I need to try it!

[@arggragc1056]

Were do I fix it at

[@khawerabbas]

Thanks a lot. God Bless.

[@PippinPotter11]

Great question @RJRed! +RJ Red!!! I did not think to mention that. Yes, I can still use my iPad Air, its the screen that I had foolishly managed to shatter in to a million pieces! Then, I got another iPad Air, and my stupid ass hadn't put my screen protector on it yet because I procrastinate so badly, and I actually SAT on it!!! Yes, I sat on the new one! Here's the bad news; "the corner of the screen cracked a hairline crack diagonally, approx. 1 inch down & across"!!! Its actually not really too noticeable, though, only if you know its there, and believe me, I know it's there! I cant believe I now have two iPad's, and BOTH I'VE MANAGED TO SHATTER & CRACK! So, I'm glad I went on to read other comments, and now I know I only have to replace the top glass, only of one of them, the other one I can live with the reminder to be more careful with them. The cracked one could've been a lot worse, but it was laying on my soft bed when I sat on the corner of it, and cracked the corner of it. Anyway, thanks a lot you guy's! ~Carol

[@oldscreed]

Thank you.

[@mommabucket1]

by the way u guys should really show that u have to disconnect the battery...my ipad is now fucked

[@fabtup9611]

The only thing missing is the glue needed to attach the new screen. There is nothing on this video about any glue.

[@akwacomputers7521]

The repairer in this video has used double sided adhesive. He demonstrates this in the video. Do not use glue, if you use glue and you ever need to remove your screen for a future repair, you will make things very difficult for yourself.

[@GlitchedPepsi]

I repaired my screen on March 24 but it cost 100 $ to get it repaired

[@Repairsuniverseusa]

How did the repair go? After watching this video the next time it happens you should be able to take care of it yourself
