i will like to say that your video did help so much on replacement steps. Thank you. You have saved us about $100 of doing the replacement ourselves instead of hiring someone for this.

[@lindsey4178]

I just want to say thank you! I've had my tablet for almost 6 years and it still works perfectly aside from the screen being cracked. I'd rather not replace the whole iPad I dont have to and I'm so glad I found your video. It's very detailed and informative, and most importantly it makes the job feel much less intimidating. 😅

[@retsubrooklyn]

Much thanks for this excellent tutorial! I especially appreciated the calm, even, positive tone: whenever I felt unsure during the process, the tone of the narration kept me grounded. Another successful iPad repair here!

[@MARKEMTV]

Great video... You can use clear packing tape over the screen to prevent the glass shards from flying up and it also holds the screen together when removing.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good idea

[@jeffreypinder9398]

That is what I did with the packing tape. Will be replacing my screen during next trip to work where most of my tools are along with my heat gun.

[@tinasusbauer6466]

Such a great addition to this wonderfully made video!! Thanks for the extra tip!

[@emmamcclung9006]

Really appreciate you taking your time to show us step by step.

[@christendaniels8781]

I just repaired my son iPad to this video! Just wanted to say thank you for providing the easy to follow video. The repair worked out perfectly!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Best video so far, you spoke thru it and there wasn't any irritating music. Will be attempting this during next trip to work.

[@mi3395ke]

thank you for the informative video!! love how detailed you were and how you explained every step, step by step!! I was very doubtful that i could do it myself thinking it was going to be way to difficult, but your video made 10000% sense to me and made it 100000x% easier to fix so thank you man,!!!!

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much. Aside from the process, I am particularly struck by the 100% good sense of every peripheral hint, tip, and observation made. And so clearly expressed./

[@brettschaumburg3994]

what width was the red double sided tape you used? the 2mm, 3mm, 5mm or 10mm? Thanks! Great video btw! :)

[@Elilyse]

Thank you. Saved me some money. Much appreciated. I have an autistic son who is always cracking screens.

[@BeMore777]

Great instructional video. I wasn’t sure if I could do this myself so I took my iPad to the Apple Store and they wanted $300. Tried another place they wanted almost as much. I ordered everything I needed from Amazon except the heat gun which I had. So for 10% or $30 I fixed it myself and I’m completely satisfied. Thanks for the instructional video…

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@NukePossumSpringsBand]

Thanks dude! I’m waiting for my screen replacement, now I’ll be able to put everything together when it arrives !

brilliant video very well explained . and no back ground music . i will now have a go at replacing my battery many thanks

[@Stensar69]

I didn’t have the same tools but I improvised and used a dulled razor blade and a heat gun to remove the digitizer. Then a lot of cleaning afterwards but was well worth it ! First time ever doing this and it was a complete success! Almost like having a new tablet! Thank you very much.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@simonvolibar1492]

Hello, great tutorial. I will try to fix my screen my self. What is the item number fire the double sided tape you use? Thank you.

[@Gravity461]

Excellent video, the only concern I had was figuring out the home button flex cable connection, as I needed to replace mine. I just looked that up separately and had no issues. This was easy to follow, and now my brother's iPad is fixed. Took me about 2 hours and 45 minutes, a lot faster than I expected having never replaced a screen on anything before. It was a choice between $40 and have a working iPad for a few more years, or just don't use it anymore, so I fixed it!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it helped

[@garypowell4875]

Where can I buy the orange double sided tape you show in the beginning?

Hi, are you in NY? I probably can do this but I’m so tired….i ordered the full kit…

great video, maybe best explanations I've heard on a KZbin video.

[@Xjank49]

This video was absolutely perfect in every way. It was my first time trying to repair an apple device and thanks to your video, I did. Glad the screen I got came with a new home button because when I was taking off the broken screen, I sliced it in half. Thanks again for this Gem of a video

[@omg_wtf]

Hey, thank you for this! I have just replaced the screen and its all working :)

[@daniels98]

Very, very good instructional video. I hate watching these and having to guess what someone is doing and why. No guessing in your video. Maybe the best one i have seen. Makes me feel confident i will not have a problem doing my screen. Thank you!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good luck with your ipad repair. Glad the video helped.

[@BradySzabo]

There is a little type of hinge mechanism holding the ribbon cable on, once I figured that out, it came off easily. I did the repair successfully but I will wear gloves the next time because gloves should help keep fingerprints of the backside of the screen. Thanks for the great video. I repaired it around Dec 4th and my kid dropped it down a flight of stairs and shattered it again. Very good video and many thanks. The replacement screen I bought came with a home button preinstalled.

[@paulgrimster4905]

This video is very useful. I bought a new screen with has a new home button, from Amazon . I decided to keep the new screen's home button. I thought it would be easier. The home button cable is attached to a PULL OUT connector, NOT a LIFT UP connector like the other connectors surrounding it. I assumed wrong, and pulled the delicate female connection off the board. It was hidden behind a black sticker. I tried supergluing it (I don't have a soldering iron or microscope ) but it keeps popping off. The screen works fine, except I've lost the home key function.

[@MasoodJamily-y8x]

Thank you for this great video. I can finally fix my IPAD .

Great job. This helped me repair my sons iPad. Thank you!

[@paulmeister3060]

Just curious: What happen's to the iPad if the battery is not disconnected from the iPad while tweaking on the connections?

Thank you for helping me replacing screen on my iPad. Awesome guide!

Hi there sir. What an amazing video! I followed all of your steps, and everything worked beautifully however, my home button doesn’t work at all. It makes a clicking noise, but it does not work. Do you know why? Thanks

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Double check the flex cable. Making sure it wasn't damage. Also check the connection, make sure it is firmly connected.

[@mariahlambily3653]

although i literally broke my home button, this is a great video, thank you so much for doing it without speeding :))

Please answer is this complicated or I can do it easily if I watch

[@BradySzabo]

I touched the black lcd screen without gloves and it left streaks on it (from finger oils?). Is there anyway to clean it?

[@chrissylaurenbutler3639]

I damaged the lcd display! I tried to be careful but I guess I must have damaged it while trying to pry my very shattered screen off. Be careful about the lcd. I recommend getting the metal pry tool. My kit didn't come with one and it was too hard to get my screen off. I also recommend watching the end of the video before you start so you know exactly what the ipad looks like inside.

[@24bellers20]

Top video. First pad I ever repaired. Worked a treat. Thankyou.👍👍👍

Seems like the lcd screen is damaged in process of replacing the digitizer screen

Thank you for making this totorial! I was able to complete this is about 3 hours (took my time) however my iPad is experiencing the boot loop. Have you experienced this with your repairs and how did you fix it?

[@christianschulling5016]

Hey could you please assist me and answer some questions? I want to understand what I made wrong....I tried to repair my sons iPad A1488 and i followed yours and other videos to get an idea how to change Digitizer on my own. Everything went fine, I also disconnected the battery before removing the old screen. Only the Digitzer was broken, before I tried to repair the LCD was working without errors. When I connected the display the first time, it worked...but at the left side there were some coloured lines and black parts on the display. Because I wanted to test before, I only laid the screen carefully down and didnt used the screws..when I moved the iPad a little bit, the stripes on the left were gone and some new stripes appeared. So I thought that errors maybe are not physical?! I tried a little while to get back first state where most of the display was working, but I cannot repeat it. Sometimes when I tried to find out, whats going on and held the iPad in my hands, then the Apple Welcome Screen is appearing below many many error stipes and black parts, but I also couldn't reproduce where to press or pull to see it again. I show you a verty short clip of my screen....kzbin.infohgGsKHjprqM Is it completely broken now? What went wrong? I was super careful and the complete process seemed easy and worked out well until I tested the display.... Maybe you say the LCD is gone, get a new one, but how to make sure the same thing didn't happen again?? I want to understand it more deeply and I ordered two broken iPads to test it again...are there more connections between LCD and iPad or is it only the small fllex cable? Coukld the Flex Cable be broken?? I think actually I tried to hard and my current display is somehow broken, but when I am correct, then its only the big large crack...but it is not visible crack in the LCD. It would be very nice If you could answer my questions. Thank you.

[@jvsyoutube3298]

very good video! now i know that i dare to repair my daughters ipad :)

[@919364]

Thanx for a great tutorial. Instead of paying about 187$ (1700 swedish krona) it now only cost me about 55$ (500 swedish krona). I hade som issues though with the home button. It fall apart in three pieces. The button itself, a black round bracket and a rubberbracket. That made me carefully disconnect the the home button cable from the connector. Then it was easier for me to work only having my new screen and the home button to think ablut. When connect the homebutton to the new screen I had to remove the black round bracket othervise i got to high on the screen i bought and I was not able to klick the button. I also struggled a bit getting the cabels in the slot when attach the new screen. The cables on the side (digitizer?) of my screen seemed to be a little bit bigger then on the screen in this video, but after a while I got it in place. (I will not mension that I missed to remove the protective film on the inside of the screen so I had to open it up remove the film and attach it again :-D) In all I think it have taken me two - Three hours. 45 minutes to remove the broken screen, one hour to understand how the "fallen apart" home button should put together to the new screen, 45 minutes to get the screen on place and 30 minutes to open it up remove the protective film and put the screen on place again. Someone asked about heat gun temperature and I had mine set to medium heat.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. I'm glad you did it.

[@DJArias-k3l]

Thanks for the video! For anyone reading this comment, the connection to the home button doesn't snap on like all the other connections so if you don't use the same home button connection like it's shown in this video be very careful when removing the cable and good luck using the new one. I pretty much screwed mine up. Would have appreciated a little more warning about that on this video.

[@SVH89]

I cut the digitizer screen just like you, it didn't do anything wrong. Good video!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yup… it is not needed anyway. Cut it off. Lol

[@scottgrant8663]

If my screen is cracked and I can no longer see any display do I need to just replace the digitizer? Or do I need more?

i followed the directions and when checking at the end if touch is working, i cannot get in as it allows me to put my code in but locks for a period of time and i am up to a lock out for one hour do you know what may be happening

excuse me UberGeeks, so I'm replacing screen on same iPad and the touch screen has a dead spot right on bottom (can't click #8 for the pin)! and also it keeps boot looping sometimes. I took it back apart and I saw that I forgot to fold the black display cable along the side of the digitizer. (it was sticking out when I was putting the screen back on). Could I put any glue or adhesive to make it stick back on? Thanks!

Heat gun temperature?

[@jaynotjoe7589]

Hi, great video. I'm having a Ghost touching issue, it looks like the repair shop used a cheap replacement with little or no insulation so something is causing it to short against the frame, either the home button cable or the LCD cable and other areas that wasn't insulated properly, I'm also seeing bubbles on the inside of the screen, so Im guessing they never removed the protective film and the heat is causing the bubbles. If that is the case, would that also be whats contributing to the problem along with (possibly) torn flex cables that are touching the frame? Thx

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Best is to ask the repair shop to redo the repair. Or you can get a new digitizer screen and DIY. Pretty much you nailed it on the issues. About the ghost touching, I would cover up the sensor on the back of digitizer
