Thanks so much for this tutorial! I fixed my kids' ipad screen and saved a whole lot of money (really just saved their boredom because I wasn't going to buy a new one!).

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped! And I really appreciate the Super Thanks

[@stevedonalson5675]

When the Screen is cracked like this Placing shipping tape on the screen prior to removal should help in reducing the shards of glass. Very thorough and nicely produced video.

no shit

[@dodortx]

anyone with a brain would do that i hope

[@stevedonalson5675]

@@dodortx no shit, common since isn’t so common sometimes.

I checked the comments to write this myself. I already put box tape on it to keep my daughter from cutting herself while waiting for the replacement screen and to keep pieces of glass from falling off in the mean time. I'm in autobody, and they have what's called collision wrap, which is basically giant sheets of flexible tape.

[@morganhackworth84]

I so wish I would have read this before doing mine 😭 I didn’t know it would crack as bad as it did… functioning screen but glass everywhere

[@davewhite16]

I’ve seen people use heated opening pads. I used my 3D printer heated bed with silicone pad. I set the temperature to 70 degrees and heated the ipad 6g for about 10-15 minutes. Worked like a charm! (Screen up) Printer is an Ender 3 Max.

[@funkbungus137]

haha awesome I was gonna try that, my new digitizer arrives tomorrow, I'll be usin a regular old ender 3 but still, good to know.

@@UbergeeksBiz Just wanted to ask, have you ever experienced an issue with one of the the ribbon cables for the new digitizer not “snapping” into place? I ended up having to put some electrical tape behind it to keep it pressed onto the connector. Unfortunately the screen is having intermittent problem with responding to touch, and I’m thinking the ribbon cable issue is related to this.

Hi, i got a swollen battery that wont charge ect BUT also the touch is playing up. Can bad battery ever effect touch? or do i have a bad M/b too? I could jump power to the connector and try with nominal voltage but every time other ipad i have worked on when touch stops or is trouble, m/b chips ect are too blame. Ask what you think?

[@chillbill8591]

Two things that he didn't mention that is extremely helpful for this repair is. 1. If you dropped your iPad you probably left a dent somewhere so try and smooth it out for new glass. 2. Put a sheet of paper between the lcd and broken screen so you dont drop any pieces on screen.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

[@markpirola8152]

Is their any harm in trying the home button supplied with the touch glass panel too see if it works?

[@BeckVMH]

10:10 I would suspect the putty material beneath the screws is to further stabilize those four connection points between the frame and LCD. Otherwise, the screws would be prone to shock and wear over time causing the connection points being less secure.

[@kyranzic6462]

I feel like it also makes it a bit more water resistant with a better seal

[@AugyTekCEO]

I know this video is about a year old, but a customer pointed me to it and I would like to correct a few things for anyone still watching and thinking about repairing it on their own. 1. ALWAYS use safety goggles. Even if your screen isn't that "spidered" it only takes 1 shard of glass 1 mm across to end your sight permanently in that eye. ALWAYS use an ESD (electrostatic discharge) wrist guard (once you have glass removed and unit is opened up in this case) and NEVER perform this repair with carpet underneath you. 2. NEVER use a hair dryer, always use an adjustable hot air gun. Decent ones start at $50, and better ones are 75-100. 3. NEVER use a metal pry tool like this guy did. They are for experienced people that know EXACTLY where to pry, and where not to. Buy a cheap pack of playing cards and use those to slide under instead after using a small flat (and dull) xacto blade to lift up the edge. If you feel abnormal resistance, then you likely are not properly underneath the adhesive, or it is not hot enough. Mark the spot with a marker and start somewhere else, or reheat and try again. Remember that the adhesive strips are typically 1/8th of an inch wide thereabouts in most places, but there are places that are smaller. For novices, watch this video and mark with a permanent marker where the cables are at so you remember, it's much easier. Also, if you happen to slide the card in too far and you can see it beyond the inner rim of the digitizer, you are less likely to permanently scratch the LCD screen. (Maybe some adhesive residue you have to GENTLY clean off, but that's about it.) 4. When you are dealing with the "gunk" under the screw holes of the LCD, you can also use the hot air gun to release them, just remember to wiggle the hot air gun back and forth while you GENTLY lift on the LCD near the corner so you don't damage the LCD corner with heat or burn your fingers. If it's too hot through your gloves, then it's too hot for the LCD. 5. If you ordered a cheap replacement screen off Amazon and your sensor panels around the viewable glass area are exposed and there isn't already a pad or buffer on top of it, send it back. DO NOT try to cover it yourself. It is VERY easy to damage these sensors, and even the oils from your fingers can do it, or can corrode them later on. (You should be wearing pierce and heat resistant gloves anyway.) 6. Also, if adhesive is NOT preinstalled, send it back, unless you are familiar with how to use very thin pieces of adhesive, this is VERY difficult for a novice or the inexperienced to do correctly. 7. NEVER use Loctite, or any other Permanent type adhesive substance. It guarantees you will never be able to do a repair the same way again. At least not easily. 8. To clean the edges of the chassis where the old adhesive was, you may (CAREFULLY) use a small flat razor xacto blade (preferably dull) to scrape adhesive. You may also dip the blade into 99% isopropyl alcohol first to help with the removal. DO NOT use anything other than 99%. It does not evaporate and leaves residue and contaminants behind and your new adhesive will not adhere as well. 9. ALWAYS take a can of air and (holding the can of air as upright normal as possible so you don't spray liquid) blow off the LCD screen and inside of the Digitizer before you place it down for testing AND AGAIN before final adhering. 10. When you test the new digitizer, also test your home button functionality. The touch will not be exactly functional as the sensors will still be a bit wonkey because the glass isn't perfectly flat. As long as you can touch something and it responds, cool, it works. 11. And this one should arguably be the first... If you are not comfortable AT ALL with ANY of this repair, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. Yes, by getting the tools and digitizer yourself you might save 50 or 60 bucks vs. taking it to a repair shop, plus you now have proper tools for another job in the future. But is it really worth that? If you are going to do a "one and done" repair, it's really not. If you have no interest in doing any other types of repairs, or aren't comfortable with electronic repairs, then just pay the extra and let a professional do it. Find one that has good reviews and can explain the process in depth to you prior to selecting one. Plus, whether doing it yourself OR using a professional 3rd party repair service, you are indirectly supporting the right to repair movement, and telling Apple and other big companies to go take a hike with their BS. Hope that all helps. Otherwise, this is a semi-decent video, and if nothing else explains the common things that inexperienced people wouldn't necessarily be aware of. Edit: Original 4 and 6 were removed due to this being a model that does not have the requirement to slide a pick under the battery connection. Wish apple would make up their freaking minds.

[@AugyTekCEO]

One other thing I forgot to mention.... If your glass is not completely shattered, and don't want to waste a bunch of time like this guy did, try using shipping tape to place over the screen to prevent the glass from cracking further. Use the HIGHEST quality shipping tape you can find. Like 8-10 dollar a roll stuff. It might take you some time to cover all the cracks, but will save you more time in the long run usually if you are careful and patient when removing the adhesive.

[@wcaboutre355]

Internet police officer Brian, you don't need to correct him - you didn't seem to even see or hear his warning about safety glasses.

[@haileyrich1743]

So what kind of glue can people use to adhere the home button back to the new digitizer?? If you’re going to say what not to use, please provide info on what can be used.

[@smoothisfast2409]

Had this in a few days back, here to learn how..I tend to tape up the glass but I can see it might not always be the best thing.....

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good luck

[@kimsaeter]

Thanks a lot for uploading this video, I just replaced the cracked screen on my iPad. I just paused and followed your instructions carefully, and everything works great!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@BeckVMH]

10:10 I would think the putty like material placed in the corners with the screws is to stabilize and reduce shock given these are the locations joining the screen and case.

[@hottub1157]

Great video! I have a 5th gen A1822. Do I still need to cover the sensors on that screen model?

Thanks, fixed my ipad, wasn't hard at all.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

[@calamariaxo]

@Quinn Fogarty Like 1 hour or so I guess. I messed around a bit due to the home button. Switching it out wasn't a problem, but the thing that seats it was a bit loose on mine and I couldn't make it fit the new screen assembly well. I used some E6000 glue and random plastic bits to keep it from wiggling too much. ID still works fine to this day.

[@Swappr]

@@calamariaxo for the tape at 16:24 did you use regular or double sided tape

[@Swappr]

nevermind ubergeeks said in the comments sorry for the confusion

[@Butecosmetics]

Thank you so much this was helpful. i must let you know though most screens (including the 1 in this video) comes with adhesive already on the new screen so you dont need the double sided tape..just peel off the blue film to reveal the sticky glue and then close the screen.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped. Yes, I agreed to pre-adhesive tape on new screen. But I find them not sticky. After few weeks, the new screen starts to come off. Hope your stay glued in for good.

[@theanswerissimple]

@@UbergeeksBiz mine began to come off 10 minutes after. What kind of tape do you recommend?

[@rahmanaraheem]

Would you be able to use b7000 glue for the home button? And what was that duster spray?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes. Duster to spray off dust

[@frogger6478]

Question! For the last step to apply the screen on - Do I need to heat it back up to melt the glue and make it stick?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

No, Please do not do that.

[@cushieaudio]

Great vid. most helpful one I found. However I skipped cutting the old ribbon wires and when the new screen would not work properly I plugged the old one in and was thankful. Some of the buttons would not work and when putting the pin in to unlock it the button would show it's being pressed but would not register. What you think it may have been? Cheers

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped. I would think is the new screen problem

[@madisoncrenshaw6605]

the ipad i fixed was dead when i first started taking off the broken screen and stuff. and i put the LCD back on to test it the power button wasnt making the dead battery icon pop. would an over night charge help or did something happen to the LCD ? all the cables for both the LCD and digitizer are intact

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Probably takes 5-8 hours will fully charge the iPad.

[@RyanDaz1981]

I had the same thing happen, one of the sensors wasn’t plugged in correctly for me. It was the one with the plate with the 3 tiny screws

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes. Just in case and prevent from ghost touching.

[@olafb6445]

Great video, after replacement the screen kinda lifts up on the left side (where the cables on the digitizer are). I used the double sided tape bc i thought it would be strong and it would hold it but it still lifts up :( any ideas?

[@Gucci_Peralta]

Not in order but I would Inspect iPad for any bents, or a bad battery pack like extreme bulging. Make sure all cables are tucked in and not on the edge of the iPad, remove old adhesive completely around the edge and prep with alcohol. test fit the screen with out adhesive. If everything checks out then proceed to use adhesive and put everything together. Screen over the brim? Then your adhesive is thick

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Spot on. Bryan explained it well. Waffle, you might want tuck in the side cable and maybe use this Adhesive Red Tape: amzn.to/2CGZsu3

[@ashninetyone]

I replaced my screen and neither the original nor the replacement home button works 😢 - still i'm happy enough, the iPad belongs to my 3 year old and i can still operate with an 'on screen home button'. Thanks loads for the tutorial, I would've been clueless without it!

Also watched another video you made for 8th gen A2428 screen. That is the one I am working on now. In that video you did not show installing tape to cover the sensor. Does the A2428 sensor not need the tape to prevent ghosting? I am confused . Help please. Thank you

Hello, I fixed my screen just like you said in the video, and everything was great, but I have a small problem. In one part of the screen there is an area, that doesn’t react anymore, it’s like a small “bar” in the middle that doesn’t react like a dead line. Do you know what to do?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Try remove and install the digitizer to make sure connector is seated properly. If that didn’t work, you have have a bad digitizer screen. Get another new screen. Test the screen first before putting the double sided tape.

Make sure you follow his steps and don't assume anything as I did. The ribbon cable adhesive for the digitizer must be applied before attaching it to the mainboard.

[@dronesetc9769]

I think the ribbon cables get bunched up or jammed up on the edge, I've done many screens and have had to super glue it on the side where the ribbon is (and it still isn't flush). I've watched many videos was hoping this one would show that part. the ribbon just sticks up or out a little probably on these aftermarket $15 screens. I'm gonna make some drone , ipad and apple laptop repair videos detailing all the stuff others leave out.

Hi, I have taken my iPad apart, and was just trying to check that it was still working before I bought the replacement digitiser. When I plug the home button and lcd in the iPad will not boot. Should it boot without a digitiser attached? And is there anyway other then looking at the lcd to tell if it will boot?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

iPad LCD should display without screen digitizer installed. As long as LCD and battery installed properly, you will get display on the screen. Screen digitizer is only for your finger to touch. Hope this helps. Good luck.

[@KingStuartPhD]

Thanks. I’ll have to have a deeper look and see why it is not displaying.

What was the White Tape you put around it called?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Any adhesive tape is fine. You just want to prevent the sensor being touched.

[@Swappr]

@@UbergeeksBiz thanks i had the same question

[@bastymanguy]

So you not supposed to use the E8000 or B7000 for glueing the screen down? I figured that would be better than adhesive tape.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You can use E8000 or B7000 to hold the home button bracket

[@Jadon.6]

What kind of white tape is that at the end?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Double sided adhesive tape.

Thank you so much I have done my ipad although the only thing is that the home button is a little wobbly is that normal?

I don't know what's the actual temperature. Just not extreme heat till it burns your hand. That should be fine.

if it does burn your hand keep it at a safe distance and you should be fine :)

[@matt43032]

Great video, best instructions I’ve seen so far. Just one question, what is the white tape you used to cover up the sensors? Does double sided adhesive work or is it too thick?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Hi. I use double sided adhesive tape that I got. No, it is not too thick for that. It does not touch the LCD after I install the digitizer screen.

[@matt43032]

@@UbergeeksBiz thanks, so is it similar thickness to the tape around the outer edge? My replacement kit came with a roll of double sided tape, maybe 1.5mm thick. Hoping to get it right the first time I seal it up. Really appreciate the response!

[@robhartle1849]

Hey, +UberGeeks, are you sure it's a good idea for me to use Loctite Super Glue to glue in the home button like that? What if I ever need to repair the iPad again and remove the home button glued with super glue? Wouldn't that maximize the chances of ruining the home button when trying to remove it?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Hi. If you look carefully, apple applied some sort of white glue to hold the home button bracket. I've tried using just double sided tape, but after a while, especially with kids press real hard, the bracket will just come off. A tiny Loctite glue holds pretty good. If next time to replace the screen again, it can be easily scrap off. Hope this helps.

[@kyrillosiskander7140]

please help i tried everything to attach the home button to new screen but i don’t have that gel you used please send me a link on amazon to it

Great video. Do you think I should change the digitalizer if I got my 2nd hand ipad and a very line at the middle doesn't work well? Or do you think that it's the connector that's damaged because I saw it can happen when fixing ipads Ty

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I think is the digitizer issue. Not the connector.

[@pfc4688]

Nice video bro but couldnt understand why removing the lcd was necessary? Im preparing to change a screen next week and every step i dont need to do is good :)

You need to get to the digitizer for this replacement screen.

[@bastymanguy]

Lol, I wish Apple would design it so the cable for the lcd was elsewhere. So much extra work to get to the cable connectors

How do you stop the screen pinching the cables??? I've tried this 3 times and it works fine until I close the screen then the touch is faulty. Ribbon cables being pinched by screen
