T Phael Black Digitizer Repair Kit for 2017 iPad 9.7(A1822, A1823) / iPad 5 iPad Air 1st Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement (Without Home Button) with Tools + PreInstalled Adhesive

The digitizer on a 2017 iPad 7" can be repaired with this T Phael repair kit. The cost of replacing it was $250. I only paid $18 for it. 99, as well as my time (in order to replace the kit with this one). br>br>Here are some other things I recommend: br>1) A hair dryer or a heat gun (which I used). br>2) Latex Glovesbr>3) I used many, but not all, of the tools in the kit. I'm still unsure of the purpose of some of the tools. I didn't need them in the end. br>br>While searching on Youtube, I came across several DIY tutorial videos, which T Phael recommends (I used the search term "iPad 5 9. Repair of a 7" LCD Screen and Touch Screen Digitizer"). Note: In the repair kit, there are no instructions. br>br>The most difficult part was getting rid of my cracked digitizer. It was still extremely difficult, even with the use of a hot hair dryer around the edges, but I eventually got it off. Just make sure none of the connectors or home button (ribbons) are severed. It's not difficult to replace the digitizer once the old one has been removed. (Just make sure you don't lose any screws or scratch the LCD! )br>br>The adhesive that came with the kit worked fine. We'll see how long it lasts, but the touch screen is flawless. The home button functions (though it is a little looser now, so be cautious when pressing it). (Note that the kit does not include a replacement for the home button. ) The one that came with your iPad is what you use. So take care not to cut the ribbon of the button! )br>br>First and foremost, take your time and do not rush the screen repair.

Well, I'm not sure what to say. Let me explain why I wouldn't like this product if it weren't for my sister. My iPad's screen was shattered by my three-year-old. That's a different tale altogether. After doing some research, my husband concluded that changing it out would be extremely difficult and should probably not be attempted. Apple charges $200 for their products. 00 to do it, which I considered a viable option. I'd have to spend more than $400 on a new iPad. 00, which means it's time to make a choice. I came across this screen replacement on Amazon and thought to myself, "Well, it's only about $20. " If it doesn't work, I'll throw it away for 00, so why not? My younger sister, who has small hands and a lot of patience, offered to help, which I gladly accepted! Okay, so it's possible I asked her. Anyway, I watched as she carefully removed the shattered glass and disconnected all of the small connections (I was in charge of pausing and rewinding the how to video). I'll be honest, if I were doing it, I would have been so frustrated that I would have given this product a one star review, but if the person doing the changing has the personality and patience, this product is perfect. Yes, the operation went off without a hitch, and the $20 was earned. 00 investment yielded a positive return. Go for it if you or a loved one has the same level of patience as my sister.

Adhesion is a little light, but that's not a problem in a case and makes it easier to replace in the future. The cable raises the screen, but because there is no direction, I discovered that you must remove the sticky tape and tape the cable to the screen before installing it. I ordered three of these to go with two iPads. One had to be replaced already, and another had cracked at the home button with the hard front plastic cover protector on the face after being left in the car. I was able to keep the finger Touch ID by reusing the original home buttons. I’m not 100% sure what caused the problem but I’m willing to order one more to try and find a 9h screen protector to apply right after install. When not in use, both iPad Gen 5s are placed in the otter ox defender case, which has a hard screen over it. As a matter of practice, a good 9-hour screen protector would make this a fantastic digitizer. Not to be confused with the hard front case cover that you can put on when placing in the bag, the otter box boils make it possible to remove the not-so-good plastic protector that scratches and does not protect against any impact.

Just a few days ago, I finished this installation. Here's what I've got to say about the important stuff. First and foremost, the kit card is well-designed. Second, clean the surfaces around where the camera centering plastic part will bind and where the home button bracket will bind (the included tool kit was a nice touch). Those components will need to be transferred from the old display. Third, the inside of the glass is covered in a plastic film. Make certain to get rid of it. Fourth, when adhered to a properly clean surface, the adhesive strips installed work perfectly. Fifth, the touch sensitivity resolution on the front panel appears to be on par with the original glass panel. br>I would strongly advise you to use this section.

This was purchased for my husband in order to repair his iPad, and this is what he wrote: br>br>First, let me say that I'm usually pretty good at DIY projects, but I haven't done many mobile devices, in fact, this is my first. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but there are a few things that I did wrong. br>br>1. For the home button, I believe you will require additional glue. Despite the fact that I did not use glue, it appears to have stayed put because the original glue was sticky.
2. A portion of the screen is broken. Only three of the numbers worked when attempting to enter the pin code, making it impossible to log in.
3. This part, however, is why I would not buy this product: let's say I installed it incorrectly due to my lack of experience, and 1 and 2 above were my fault, but their screen had fine little scratches as if the manufacturing process was flawed. When the screen is black, as in the image I posted, you can see it. As a result, I would not recommend this product; I assumed there was a film on the inside of the screen that I had missed, similar to the one I had removed from the outside. As a result, I restarted my ipad. I cracked the screen when I first opened it. In any case, there was no film on the inside, only scratches on the screen. br>br>I took a picture of the scratches and posted it on the internet. In the photo, you can see how I tried to reopen the screen and cracked it again. I have no intention of returning it or requesting a refund. br>br> It was a mistake on my part to try to fix it myself. There are a slew of options for getting it fixed without the aggravation.
