[@dennisfahlstrom7422]

You did not say anything about new adhesive, whether it’s needed, how much, what type. It would also be useful to know where you bought the screen from (Apple?) and how much it cost and alternate sources for it.

[@johnb8190]

I’ve had to replace a screen on an iPad 2 years ago, and this looks a lot easier.

[@darrellkc48]

Excellent video. I have a 1st gen iPad Pro with a cracked screen, and instead of giving it away, I may now repair it! Thanks

[@foogentog]

GREAT video. Love the pace, the relaxing but also quiet bg music, and the simple but thorough enough explanation. prob best ipad repair vid I've seen.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Thank you

[@AZSemperFi]

1. Looks like you removed the home button and its rubber ring dust seal all in one piece? That way you don't have to disassemble it completely? 2. You don't have to also test the keyboard functionality to ensure no damage was done to the three "pop" press in connectors? 3. Why didn't you clean up the adhesive tape on the battery connection protection cover and add new tape just to that area you disturbed?

[@MizerIsHere]

I used iron instead of heat gun because I dont have one It worked

[@juancarlosayala9594]

Looks pretty straight forward thank you I will be attempting this in a couple of days.

[@zacheysflip859]

Such a good tutorial it goes with my pace and makes me feel very calm, thank you for making this. Edit I bricked my iPad help

[@RA-tp4pr]

What do you mean by bricked? Not turning on?

[@zacheysflip859]

R Ahmed yeah

[@RA-tp4pr]

@@zacheysflip859 try a new battery

[@impostor9336]

I would start of by trying to reconnect the battery and screen. If that does not work try the old screen because your new screen might be faulty.

[@batmen19bebe66]

hahahaa

[@antresia.9723]

I, ve my school tablet for 4 years I think it's mine for the keeping. However I see 2 green stuck pixels on the LCD screen. I'm going to get the replacement on Amazon and see if I can go to the repair shop nearby and ask him if he can replace the screen.

[@luke_spencer]

@11:03 you helped me figure out what the thing with the white tape thingo was. My iPad had lost the whole home button I was left with that wire and didn’t know it was for the home button.

[@Tappit333]

The home button connector has a small lever that you gently lift up, this will allow the ribbon connector to slide into the connector, super video/Tutorial :-)

[@Aleboy40]

Thank you kind sir the posting this video ,good teacher good lesson . I am confident now in doing it myself. Tx.

[@variousd3507]

Is the true tone functional after the display replacement? Did you retain the true tone?

[@kronosmiticus2117]

Excellent skill right there. My repair guy doesn't have the balls to remove the screen. He say's he's afraid he will break the screen. And here you are saying this is a super easy repair. It is not easy to come by good talent I guess. Keep up the great work.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Thanks for sharing

[@JayTaylorSirfishalot]

Any advice for lots of small cracks all around the bottom of the home button? Just have to be extra careful or not advisable? Thanks

[@islomtolipovR6]

Hi and this is such a amazing video for my ipad pro 9.7. I can’t find anyone to get my ipad repaired its frame

[@chriscoyle1855]

Thanks Jon! Great vid and helped me fix my old iPad

[@PatSamTew]

It would have been helpful if you made it clear you were using a preassembled digitizer and lcd. It was a good video overall, but i had to watch half way through to realize it wasn't going to help me with my issue (replacing only digitizer).

[@FixItPlanet1]

Don’t blame me…. If you did a little homework before attempting the repair you would have known what you were working on.

[@RokkuAni]

Same, I don't know what eveyone saying. You can just destroy the lcd if you going to buy it kit like that. Of course it will be easy

[@superamin3458]

it dident work im ganna cry right now

[@davidrobins4025]

Thanks for the very clear description and video of the job you did. Most helpful.

[@FixItPlanet1]

You are welcome!

[@zulmalaracuente4789]

My ipad pro 2016 screen just stop working it still turns on and I still get notifications it's just not letting me unlock it or turn it off or not touch any of the notifications

[@appleoptimizer9822]

Can you help me? I have a question, will the Apple Pencil work after replacing the display? And musst the Display be Original or not?

[@Channel01837]

My iPad was bent. I put a little super glue one the bent arua. Thank you, I guess?

[@FixItPlanet1]

OK I guess... why would you put super glue on a bent aluminum frame??

[@dr.360o6]

Help! My screen replacement was a success. However, now my iPad shuts off after 1 or 2 minutes. It goes blank and then I have to wait for the apple logo to cycle threw. I’m assuming I damaged a connector? Disconnecting the bat connector was difficult to do with the pick? I had to use a lot of force even after heating. And I accidentally disconnected one of the black wires with the 90 degree connector. I pushed both down? Any idea what I should look at if I open this up again?

[@FixItPlanet1]

WOW... How can it be a success?? i don't know what you are talking about.

[@carmella1208]

I'm so stuckkk I've gotten as far as taking it apart however I just want to replace the glass screen itself not the entire piece. Please help

[@jesusyuca1483]

I just worked on one, replaced the tristar ic and charging port. It was a real pain to get the board out. Sadly the initial fault was actually just the tristar ic but the client mangled the charging port for no reason so I replaced it as well. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@gregorytomlin3232]

Excellent Video

[@hectorpg1181]

I did the whole process but the screen does not fit because the case has been deformed by the hits received when the screen broke

[@Bit-Z1]

Done this on my pro 9.7 but the power button on the top doesn’t work. Can you possibly tell me what to check hardware wise? I can’t seem to find the sleep sensor near the home button as I’m not sure what it looks like on the pro. Can only find images of the iPad Air’s.

[@eileenlucynakurosawa7421]

TrueTone still working after this display replacement??

[@TerrierToughGuy]

Everything on the pro seems to be a replacement of the digitizer with the glass. can just the glass be replaced and keep the old digitizer?

[@FixItPlanet1]

The "glass" is the digitizer (which responds to your touch) is fused to the display (sometimes referred to as "LCD") and is the part that shows the image. It is possible to separate the two but is difficult and not very practical.

[@tejasrinivas3520]

Fix It Planet can you make a video on that too? I have a broken screen. But display and touch are working good. New screen is costing over 200$. I just want to replace the glass part. I am sure many have the same problem

[@joeracer302]

Teja Srinivas there are videos of this, and it looks like a nightmare. It sucks, but if you want to fix a cracked glass the really only practical solution for at home DIY is to replace the entire LCD assembly.

[@MrThefatheroftheyear]

Fix It Planet will the TOUCH I.D. still work after replacing the screen?

[@Cutejess2407]

Is that screen you're putting on there just the screen or is that LCD as well?

[@1tibbers]

Last 3 of these I've done, the bottom of the screen never sits in correctly. Forced to use liquid adhesive and clamp till set. It works, but not ideal at all.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Make sure the home button bracket is not preventing the screen from sitting flush with the housing. Make sure that any dents in the aluminum are grinded down and housing is not warped etc. Always verify the screen will fit properly before attempting to seal.

[@mkat_551]

Do you have a video like this for battery replacement?

[@windnoob]

When do i know that i need the lcd or just screen?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Because the screen is fused to the touchscreen also. That means they are as one. They are one part that has to be replaced together.

[@billierobinson5226]

That was extremely helpful!

[@tamaraschnoor2517]

I watched your wonderful video. When I pulled the black tape up with the home button, the metal connector on the end did not come up with the tape. Now we don't seem to be able to figure out how to get the connector out of the old screen. Any suggestions?

[@FixItPlanet1]

I believe we spoke via text message. Hope we were able to answer your questions. Cheers!

[@hannahwaltmon1141]

So um what if my home button already came off like it broke off because the screen was cracked so bad it’s literally duct taped

[@FixItPlanet1]

Then you will also have to replace the home button. The security sensor will never work again but the home button will work.

[@doitallpro]

Vr 360

[@superamin3458]

help me pls i try but it dident work when i was playign my screen fell out

[@idk-pm4er]

Ummm did you buy adhesive?

[@chancewindham1718]

Says you don’t need to lift that one part all the way up. Proceeds to lift it all the way up. Lol. Good video man. Thanks.

[@MrDamo34]

What would be a reasonable price for this repair?

[@JerryMacht]

Tasker Matic 50 dollars

[@meandmyEV]

Where do I purchase the display? Every one that I see online says it doesn't include the LCD panel.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Here is one for sale (both colors) amzn.to/2Utnthl

[@meandmyEV]

@@FixItPlanet1 At that price, I'd just have it done professionally. I found a place locally that quoted me $175 which seemed like a lot considering I had my son's 2017 ipad fixed for $75. Now I know why they charge so much.

[@FixItPlanet1]

If you have someone locally that can do it for $175 that's sounds good.

[@packratswhatif.3990]

Don’t feel bad at your US prices as here in Canada I paid $400 for my screen replacement last year. Now my battery is gone and the power connector is acting up, so do I just buy a new iPad or pay the big bucks and just get it fixed.

[@meandmyEV]

Ross in Ontario I ended up replacing mine but I bought the base model 2019 iPad with 128GB storage and LTE. I still have the iPad Pro as a backup and my kids use it with the broken screen. I can tell the difference between the laminated and non laminated screens but otherwise, they are very similar except I have a lot more storage now. I’m not sure I really need an iPad Pro. I mostly just surf the net and watch videos on it. I have a MacBook Pro and a decent windows laptop for when I need to do heavy lifting.

[@toddg9956]

Thank you ! Where can I get your tools ?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Which tools do you need? I get them from all over.

[@toddg9956]

I`ve been looking for a tu torial about how to dissasembly the lcd from the glass... Can this be done? Thanks.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Sure if you want to go to the trouble.

[@YCHTYS]

:(

[@suzannewaters6114]

Ugh...I forgot to change my screen timeout back to “2 min” after needing it on “never” for work. I’ve been away from it for 2 months and had left it on the charger. I guess it overheated and now the screen has popped open along the entire camera side end. The screen must’ve expanded as it’s warped up and even though I can press it down it won’t stay. It still works fine. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Sounds like the battery swelled up. This would explain why the screen popped open.

[@batangbilyaran4681]

What model of lcd and where to buy lcd?

[@nkriggg2254]

I have the same problem, how much the new lcd+touch cost, can you ship to Indonesia?

[@sethduhaney877]

Very nice

[@frankcardinal77]

Why are you using metal pry tools?

[@sarahburke3180]

Would this still work if the screen has a hole in it, next to where the camera is?

[@FixItPlanet1]

If you mean the screen is damaged then yes ;)

[@BTS.Slots916]

Where can I find a iPad Pro 9.7 screen replacement? What is it called, I seen a few on amazon for $39 and I feel that’s not the right one

[@FixItPlanet1]

The screen assembly is not $39. for sure. You can get either black or white here amzn.to/2yrea8k the entire display assembly is fused together it is not just the front glass.

[@KngsTiger]

What about this micro soldering I have heard on the daughter boards attached to the back of the screen? Different 9.7 Pro A1673 or what?

[@FixItPlanet1]

There is no soldering required for the 9.7 inch iPad Pro (A1673). The 12.9 inch iPad Pro requires soldering.

[@luke_spencer]

Where did you get the screen from looks HD and bright

[@WaffleFlakes]

Hi will you lose True Tone if you replace the entire display?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Not if the replacement screen is legit

[@nickpie4120]

Can u tell me the name of all the tools u used?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Here is a general list of some tools we use fixitplanet.com/tool-list

[@pablomisael9082]

What iPad is this and what generation it’s same like mine but I don’t know which one it is

[@FixItPlanet1]

This is the iPad pro 9.7 inch they came in three models A1673, A1674, and A1675. You can find your model number on the lower portion of the rear of the iPad.

[@codysnell259]

So if my tablet is not the 9.7 pro it’s just the 9.7 is the process still the same?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Some processes may be similar but each iPad model is either slightly different or very different but never identical.

[@mitchelllarrieta8206]

My screen is like pixels and i dont know whats wrong with it it has no cracks

[@idk-pm4er]

I believe that is screen bruising

[@curan]

hi, does the Apple pencil work on these replacement screen? thanks.

[@FixItPlanet1]

The ones I use are are exactly the same as original screens quality & function work fine. I haven't had any complaints yet and at least the 9.7 & 12.9 I used for the videos own and use a pencil. ;)

[@MrThefatheroftheyear]

Will the TOUCH I.D. still work after screen replacement?

[@FixItPlanet1]

Yes... as long as it's not damaged.

[@Bit-Z1]

It needs to be the same home button that was issued with the same logic board. They’re paired in the manufacturing process. If you do not have the original button, Touch ID is lost.

[@miguelarivera]

Can you install a 9.7” iPad Pro screen on a 6th gen iPad?

[@FixItPlanet1]

No they are not compatible.
