I use in my spare time (not all my spare time indeed!) to "try" to repair broken Ipads. I own some usefull tools like an Aoyue 986A+ hot air station, an Hakko FX-951 micro soldering station an Amscope stereo microscope ans other small tools usually taken in such activity.
I really like this sentence. I think its particularly true. "you want to know the difference between a master and a beginner ? The master has failed more times than the beginner has ever tried"
And I have a long way to perform yet I guess!!!

I agree with eFix. It's terrible ! Look at this video. And finaly it was not perfect if you considere the backlight issue at the bottom of the screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8yCng-iEbY&lc=z12hd1nx0xmuzr0zh04cihgr5xv4ibqz...
Per saperne di piùHi Byrd I hope you didn't glued your new digitizer before testing. Otherwhise I'm afraid that you will have to re-hot it to remove it. Once the digitizer is removed, check if you positionned correctly the LCD cable to the LCD. (also check the connection of this cable to the mainboard) It could also be the LCD cable itself.
Per saperne di piùBonjour Il te reste une solution (pas 2!). Tu retrouves une preuve d’achat avec la mention "facture" (un ticket de caisse ne fera pas l'affaire. Une fois que tu as retrouvé ta facture(j'espère que tu l'as gardé) alors tu téléphones au centre Apple (Assistance technique : 0805 540 003) il te créeront un ticket, t'enverront un lien et après tu pourras envoyer un scan de cette facture via ce lien en ayant pris soin au préalable de marquer au stylo sur la copie de facture et ton numéro de ticket créé par Apple et le n° de série de ton Ipad (il figure au dos, mais rien qu'en le connectant via Itune, tu l'auras). Si tu n'as plus de preuve d'achat, alors là, vu que tu ne te souviens plus des questions de sécurité, tu es mal. Au mieux, si c'est un Wifi/cellulaire , alors tu peux le faire transformer en Wifi seulement , mais c'est du hardware et ce n'est pas sans risque.
Per saperne di piùHi Try to check the LCD connector with a magnifier. (with a microscope would be better indeed). Also try to make a magnified photo if possible.
Per saperne di piùI'm afraid that the best thing is to disassemble your Ipad (remove the digitizer..).Like this you will be able to unscrew (3 screws) the sim card module (don't forget to remove the small ribon from the connector first). It will be then quite easy to remove your sim card without breaking anything.
Per saperne di piùEvery chip that fails has a reason. The problem is that they cannot really speak and tell you why they are about to die. Apple makes reliable devices, but issues can occur. Tablets use only passive cooling methods when I-Macs, laptops use active/passive cooling equipment. This can explain that in some way. If you look on the forum you will notice for example that not starting / not recognized Ipads /Iphones are quiet frequent due to a U2 chip (a1680 / A1610)frequent issue. I admit that touch screen Broadcom issues are pretty rare compared to the above mentioned issue. I had some months ago An Ipad air That had a Touch screen Issue (not responsive at all). I really suspected that it was coming from one of these 2 Broadcom chip , but before I attempted to try a repair (these chips are not expensive at all , but the operation to remove them from the main board is very tricky) I had the opportunity to use most parts to repair 2 Ipads Air so it was salvaged. Nevertheless I keep the main board in reserve. Will...
Per saperne di piùIpad Air Wifi only ? what was right months ago is not more actually. For a reason I don't know (leak or other thing) Idevice Wifi only can have Find My device deactivated for few bucks (10 €) . With FMD deactivated you can reset the Idevice without any problem. I don't know how it's possible , especially if you consider that in the same time GSM devices are still very difficult /expensive to reset if FMD is activated . I tried to Google that, but I don't find exactly what can explain that nowadays it's so easy to unlock a Wifi device whereas it's so complicated to do the same for a GSM one!
Per saperne di piùHi In that case you have 2 solutions. The first and easiest : you can emulate the Home button by software. For such purpose do as follow: 1) go into settings\General\Accessibility 2) In the INTERACTION Sub menu put AssistiveTouch ON 3) Then you will see a button appearing on your screen that will emulate the Home button. You can swipe it & put it at the place of your screen you desire. The second ; it's hardest but better : you will have to remove the digitizer using a hot gun or better a Hot air soldering/dessoldering unit and then to put back/replace the button . Possibly you will have to buy a gasket before to replace the former one (very cheap). Good luck
Per saperne di piùIf you want to ask :" I have An Ipad WIFI/LTE Icloud Locked, because I forgot to go to https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ before I bought it, can I transform it to a Wifi only device just by removing one transistor ?" , the answer is yes. Check this link : http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f631/byp...-icloud-ipad-2-3-4-air-mini-mini-retina-3g-hardware-method-1872271/ Just go directly to link dedicated to your model. Pay attention : It's ok for All Ipads until the Ipad Air. Much more complicated for Ipad Air 2 Lte and probably for Ipad Pro. For Ipad Air 2 Lte the opéartion on the motherboard is siple too, but once you have restored your device as Wifi device, you will notice that you can't have any Wifi/buethooth connectivity. To fix this issue you will have to jailbreak and then to go to Cydia to install the missing parts of your IOS that enable you to have the Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity. But apparently you have an Ipad air so, it's Ok.
Per saperne di piùHi Possible issue on your mainboard http://www.techinsights.com/uploadedImag...-_Primary/Marketing/2012/iPad_Mini/ipad-4gen-comm-back-web.jpg Either Broadcom BCM5973A either BCM5974. It is interesting to see if your touch screen will again temporary revive . If it's one of these chip I guess it is possible, but less & less until the touch screen remains permanently unresponsive.
