Quite often, electronics sensitive to various overloads fail. This can happen, for example, if the operating mode of the tablet is violated. But what should the average consumer do in this case? Is it possible to repair a rather expensive tablet on my own or do I need to contact a service center? iPad screen replacement is a fairly common operation. Without a doubt, the specialists of the repair shop will help you. But if you have a desire to save a decent amount and make repairs yourself, then this article is written for you.
First of all, you need to carefully inspect the device and determine the nature of the damage. If the LCD is not damaged and a normal image is visible through the cracks on the glass, then it makes sense to postpone the purchase of a new device indefinitely.
After that, we begin to gradually prepare for the repair. iPad screen replacement starts withsearch for the necessary components. The best option in this case is an online store where you can pick up all the necessary accessories. In this case, it is a protective screen.
You will also need an industrial hair dryer with a controlled temperature of at least 250 degrees Celsius. Several picks, plastic suction cup and glue.
Let's start repairing. Replacing an iPad screen requires extra care. All points must be carefully observed. Set the temperature of the industrial hair dryer to no more than 250 degrees Celsius, evenly heat the surface of the tablet around the perimeter with it. Using a plastic spatula, pry off the glass and fix it in the body with picks.
After all picks are inserted, carefully remove the protective glass with a suction cup. Now you need to unscrew the display. Moving it a little, we will see a cable - we disconnect it. After that, you can dismantle the touchscreen.
But the work doesn't end there. On the inside we see a small metal plate. Using a hair dryer, dismantle it, and then glue it on a new screen. We carry out the same operations in relation to the "Home" button.
Now the iPad screen is being directly replaced - for this, take a special tape (it comes with the kit) and stick it around the perimeter of the inside of the case. Remove the thin protective film. We carry out the reverse operation and carefully insert the new glass into the body. Please note that the replacementglass on the iPad requires special sterility. If you leave fingerprints or dust on the inside, you will need to remove it to remove it.
Heat the device around the perimeter with a hair dryer, and for reliability, put the tablet under a small load. After a while, it will be possible to check the performance of the device. If all operations are performed correctly, then you will receive a fully functional tablet.
As you can see, iPad repair does not take much time and does not require special skills or specialized equipment. In this case, only care and accuracy are required when performing mounting/dismantling operations.
