iPad Mini Wi-Fi: White lines on display and it wont work properly

Wed, 02 Sep 2015 06:28:20 -0700

Hello,

I replaced the front glass panel on the iPad mini. After I tried to turn it on I saw streaks on the display and the apple logo was blurred. I reopened all and checked all cable connections. All were connected properly.

Also if I try to slide the screen keeps black only the first lines at the top are moving.

Do you have any ideas what I can do?

iPad 3: Ipad 3 registering touches and swipes after screen replacement.

Sat, 14 Feb 2015 21:56:41 -0700

Right away, this is different than any other thread I've found.

I was replacing the ipad 3 glass/digitizer. Everything seemed to be working normal, so I laid it in the frame. On final testing there was a slight phantom touch along the bottom. I reset the unit, but it did not resolve. I pulled the glass out of the frame, and it continued. I reseated the digitizer cable, and again it continued. Finally I removed the digitizer to try a different one, and noticed with no digitizer, it still was registering touches and swipes.

Does anyone know what I might have done, and how to fix this? The zif connectors for the cable are undamaged.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415: Brainstorm: iPad2 was dropped, now black LCD but backlight works

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 09:51:39 -0700

A dropped iPad 2 has been brought to me by a client. LCD screen is black but backlight turns on. I did some research and it seems there are two reasons this is happening: 1. The LCD is bad, or 2. The logic board has a broken circuit or jumper that needs to be bridged/resoldered. I really don't want to have to open it unless I know for sure what I need to fix. Can a backlight still work if the logic board is the problem? Is there anything I can try, short of opening it up, that can help me pinpoint what the solution would be? I don't have the proper soldering equipment yet, so I don't want to open it and then realize I'll have to send it out for resoldering. Thanks in advance.

iPad Air: Why doesn't the iPad Front Panel Assembly Fix Kit include adhesive?

Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:35:26 -0700

Looking the iPad Air Front Panel Assembly Fix Kit (

iPad Air Front Panel Assembly) and saw that Adhesive Strips seem to be sold separately (iPad Air Adhesive Strips) and not included in the kit. Is there a reason for that? Are there other things required for this job that aren't included in the "kit"?

iPad 2: Why wont my Ipad charge or turn on?

Thu, 24 Jul 2014 04:03:03 -0700

I dropped my iPad a while back and replaced the digitizer. After replacing the screen my WiFi had gotten worse(wouldn't work far from router) and the screen was 'ghost typing." I replaced the WiFi antenna but the problems persisted. It was actually worse because my iPad no longer charged so I bought a replacement charging port and again it still wouldn't charge.

I have tried a soft reset also with the charger in
I have tried connecting to a computer but it isn't recognized.

Sun, 18 May 2014 11:45:29 -0700

Please can anybody advise what to use to clean the LCD under the Digitizer

I have noticed that the LCD can become really filthy once the digitizer is removed.

I have tried a soft brush

A micro fibre cloth

Both of these have left some marks on the Screen

im a bit hesitant to test any type of alcohol cleaner

Can anybody advise please, and only if youve tried it not advise on things that MAY work

Dear Sirs, I am keen to replace the touchscreen on my iPad. Your guides are very comprehensive. I have a SMD Rework Station that I use for other jobs which can be set to any temperature between 100c and 500c with air flow adjustable from 1 -8.

My question is; what temperature and air flow setting should I use for the above task?

Thank you kindly

iPad Air Wi-Fi: Shifted smart cover magnets, easy fix?

Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:43:21 -0700

It seems like the upper right smart cover magnet in my iPad air has shifted and is no longer functional.

I used to hear little clicks from my iPad Air whenever closing the Smart Cover or opening it so it wraps all the way around.

I eventually figured out that it was a magnet meant to hold the smart cover clicking when moving around inside the case.

After opening and closing the case several times, it seems the upper right magnet (near the camera) has shifted significantly enough to keep it from holding the smart cover in place while open and wrapped around.

The real issue, however, is that when closed, the rightmost part of the cover simply hovers above the panel!

The magnet must have flipped itself upside down.

No amount of messing about with the cover seems to get the magnet to shift again.

This isn't an issue justifying arduously opening the glued together panel in my opinion, so I wanted to know if there is any other way of repairing this?

I thought about taking a larger magnet and trying to shift the panel magnet back into place, but I'm worried about harming the electronics.

Any ideas?
