iPad 2 mini was dropped (whilst in a child’s rubber protective bumper case) and although no visible damage on switching on the screen has lines flickering up it rapidly almost like tv intereference. This stops when pressure is applied just above and to the right of the home button, but reoocirs when pressure is released.

Is this a digitiser issue?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I am able to turn off the iPad Mini 2 by holding down the power button.

Context: I just replaced the battery of this Wi-Fi only iPad Mini 2.

Possible Useful Info: This iPad Mini 2 was repaired previously. When I opened it up the LCD Shield was bent and screws meant to hold down the LCD Shield actually went through the the metal LCD Shield.

When I received the iPad the battery was completely swollen and had lifted the front screen aka digitizer and did not turn on.

The owner of this iPad Mini 2 was not 100% sure it was a battery issue although seemed like the likely culprit.

My thanks to the iFixit community for your help.

Update October 26, 2020:

1. I’ve added photos of the motherboard. Both as it was when I installed the battery and then after taking out the motherboard itself.
2. Additionally owner did say that the reboot cycle with the red screen did occur before the iPad died from a bad battery. It had a charge battery signal with the constant reboot, so they thought it was just a battery issue. Obviously it was not.

What is the foam liner, do I need it, and where do I find one (couldnt find it listed in the parts store)??? Also, does it come with adhesive attached to it or do i need to get some (and if so what do I use, because that also wasn’t listed in the parts store)?? (Yes I know I need some adhesive strips for the screen then; I already have them in my cart lol.)

If it helps, I would buy this part (iPad mini 1/2 Screen Digitizer)

What is the second pin connector for? And can I go ahead and fix the digitizer with more common one pin connector. Will it work?

Hey, these are pictures of the inside. Apparently the longer pin connects to the port that is situated higher up.

What is the purpose? And can I use the digitizer with only one pin?

So… I was fixing my iPad mini 2 and accidentally ripped out a piece that seems for the iPad. So I just need to know if I messed something up and if I can get replacement or if its nothing and I can forget about it.

I replaced a digitizer on this some time ago and the customer has come back to me saying the screen does what it wants and types like its got touch disease.

I've done a bit of research into this and I cannot see a confirmed case of touch disease on an iPad. I've cleaned the digitizer and its still acting weird, It also changed the volume on its own too. I have managed to capture it on a video (link provided)

Any ideas what it could be? I'm along the lines of this is a board issue. I suspect there is a problem with a data line or cpu where the Ipad is receiving a bunch of nonsense signals.

I replaced the digitizer first and tested, at the time everything came back up.

The next day I came back to reassemble and nothing came on. I then replaced the lcd screen with a new one and still nothing.

There is no indication of backlight fuse or filter damage. They look fine.

It makes no sound, and doesn't respond to touch at all.

When plugging into itunes, the device is recognized but I can't unlock it because of the requirement to give permission from the ipad screen.

Any ideas on what the issue may be?

Thanks in advance.
