Direct-Drop-In parts (no soldering) are now available!
-----
Attention! The current available parts for iPad Mini ship without the digitizer control circuit!
We recommend reusing the original one, for that you will need to
- Carefully separate the original from the digitizer's flex cable (using heat)
- Replace and glue in the control circit onto the replacement part (align the leads well)

Use dental floss under the screen to get through the glue so you are not prying up on the LCD to limit the risk of damaging your lcd.
Excellent tip helped me a lot
Good tip, will try on next device
If you have cracks on the screen, it is better to apply the duct tape on the screen before taking it off, then you don't need to worry about scattering the glass around.
Thanks for posting this video!
good idea to TEST digitzer and LCD before you close it.
or else you'll have to put new adhesive.
Thanks for the video. Most informative I found and the suction cup method is, without a doubt, the best way to get the removal started. Everyone else recommended a razor blade which will scratch the finish if you're not EXTREMELY careful. Appreciate all the time you put into this.
Suction cup can be found on the soap holder in the bathroom,
alternatively there is one shipped with the iPad Mini digitizer sold by LaptopScreen
Thanks for your great video. With your help I successfully replaced the flickering LCD on my daughter's Ipad mini. I replaced the screen at the same time because I was expecting to break it when removing it. Very pleased that I managed to remove without damaging the screen so I now have a spare one.
By the way I used the suction pad from my Go pro suction cup mount. It is so powerful I could have pulled the screen off without the use of a blade.
For those of you who are asking about how much heat to use, the glue becomes soft when it is a bit higher than body temperature. Keep that heat gun on there for too long and you may well destroy the other components inside, particularly the lithium battery!
Removing 3 layers to repair the top layer... what a terrible design!
Great video. Thank you!
Its made like this on purpose to deter you from repairing it yourself.
It's much better than the designs as it cheaper to repair if only the front glass needs replacing
Thanks so much! My process didn't go without some issues but I couldn't have pulled through it without your awesome instruction. Most importantly, my iPad works!
Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen this one before fixing my 1st mini--really easy to crack and/or overeat/discolor the LCD screen if you are not careful loosening the glue. This method is one of the better for getting digitizer safely separated.
The best vid on screen replacement I've seen well done and thanks. 👏🏼
the video was spot on, took me about 45mins and works as good as new that you for posting this, hint the glass is a little tough ti get off
Scott Abdo took me less than 10 minutes but probably because I have so me this with ipad air and a couple iPhones makes good money trust. Me about 90 dollars profit all the time
Thanks! This is a great video. It's hard to screw up with these instructions.
Great video, thank you!!! Very clear instructions. I replaced the glass of my mini Ipad and works like new.
Received in perfect condition, the item said it needed to be signed for but I didn't. I love it. Bought my mom one for her birthday on Amazon prime day
Can vouch for LaptopScreen, these guys sell these screens almost at cost and they are so easy to install its insane that electronic stores can charge so much to repair screens.
Liked your video.I have a blank screen created by moisture, not directly dropped in water. It gradually spread and finally went dark. I can hear a beep when connecting the power cable, but no other sights or sounds. Screen looks good. I slightly opened and tried to dry it out with some hair blower heat. I have new screen and digitizer but am beginning to feel the problem is probably the lcd. I can and have backed it up on my mac. Questions: 1. does it sound like the lcd? 2. Will I also need to replace the screen? 3. How can I tell if it is powered on or off before I start?
Yes, we do sell iPad Mini digitizers!
(Also no-solder-required ones)
Congratulations on your newly found fortune :)
First thing is to make sure the iPad is charged, it should display signs of life when the charger is connected.
If that doesn't help, then full tear down and careful inspection of ALL possible damage can net you some results.
Overall we'd rate such a project as "If you got nothing better to do" :)
Well made 'how to' video with excellent instructions! Thanks :-)
how difficult is to repair the ipad mini screen for some one with no experience or rapairing skills?
could you give some advices and warnings to avoid making big mistakes?
Exactly the information that I needed. Thank you so much, your instruction is excellent.
My ipad mini felt and now i can barely see whats on the screen like if the resulution would be really really low what can i do? thank you so much
Hey just a quick tip, when you have both the lcd and glass tilted over, instead of holding it the whole time you can place a suction cup behind the glass and have it rest on it.
Hi, before ios 7 comes out, I want to be replace my ipad mini. Replacing an entirely new ipad sounds great, but its also really expensive. Then I found this video, and realized it is a lot cheaper, but it definitely looks risky. Incase i ever do think about doing this, can you give me any advice of doing this right so I won't risk breaking my ipad. How often do you think people watch this and get it right without breaking their devices without experience of practicing these steps?
_great_ video. Learning ipad repairs, I have watched quite a few of these. This one is one of the most thorough and best produced. Thankyou.
I have one question - where can I obtain the suction cup from?
Really good video, well done no, BS just simple and straight forward directions. Thanks, thinking of giving it a go myself.
At the time of making of this tutorial, no replacement parts were available at all.
A month later, and for duration of several month, only "non ic" parts were available.
Now, we sell "no solder required" parts.
But you are most welcome to make a tutorial on your own that will show the soldering procedure - it will surely be greatly appreciated by everyone :) If you make it as a video reply - we'll make sure to post it!
When I reinstalled the digitizer and LCD, I tested the screen and it was very dim. I checked the LCD connection and it was aligned properly. Any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thank you so much!!
I fix it one already with this video
just ordered a kit for my ipad mini 1st gen that i haven’t used in years because of the broken screen, hoping ill be able to access old photos
Thank you just did my daughters iPad and works perfectly
Does replacing the screen require soldering at all? Thanks!
Did the new digitizer come with a home button? Thanks
Thanks man, you help me a lot..
Merry Christmas =D
Most screen digitizer being replaced has a black plastic tape covering the home button up to the flex cable being connected. Meaning the back of the home button shouldnt be exposed. Why is this diferent will it still function?
hi, ipad mini 1st and 2nd gen uses same digitizer?
thanks for uploading this video i success to repair digitizer and LCD
is this the way to do the screen replacement without soldering??? i need a quick answer... thanks
Anyone know if a glasses kit would be a good idea to use for the screw driver size?
How much would u charge me to fix my iPad mini??
Thanks, followed this to the point, and it worked!
very informative and right to the point, Not like some videos where the speaker drags it out talking about who knows what.THANK YOU
Thank you Charles! Completely agree, will keep on getting right to the point :)
Thank you for this i have now done it but i used a plastic knife not metal but it works fine now
You are referring to the digitizer IC piece.
We now sell no-solder-required kits for iPad Mini.
I replaced only my digitizer with IC already attached. The ditigizer works fine when not glued down. As soon as I glue it down the lower left hand corner off the screen starts activating randomly, and idea?
Great company to deal with and a spot on tutorial. Easy to follow. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That was GREAT video
Thank you! This worked for me. Much appreciated.
please show the details on how to re-attache the connection of the digitizer to its connector?. thanks
Does the iPad mini replacement screen available on your website come with the home button and replacement cables already soldered as you show in your video? The picture on your website does not show the home button in place.
Thanks man worked like a charm!
Best guess: reconnect the digitizer.
If that doesn't work a new digitizer may be needed to restore functionality.
smashed screen and part of the corner of led screen help
I accidentally rip one of the mount tapes from the LCD does that affect the LCD!? Because now i see the screen really low Bright
I find those screws right next to the magnet stupidly hard to put back in if you have an ifixit like I do use the twicers the look like needles at the end to hold them I'll make it easyer
Great video and well made, Apple sure know how to make them with of screws in the way.
I thing there inner construction for the layout on the assembly is a bit primitive, but I guess the better resources in design layout got put more towards the circuitry, OS and outer look of the device (iPad, iPhone etc:::
So if my lcd display is fully functional I dont need to take it out?
Very Helpful, Thank you 👍🏽
I replace one mini ipad screen but I saw one of those magnets on the corners, what is that?
I replaced my screen digitizer.
I must have done something to the charging port motherboard..
everything works except it won’t take a charge or show up on my computer ITunes.. once the new battery dies..I can’t recharge.. any tips? I did about 10 different cleaning procedures to port.. I see I scratched one of the 2 long thin bronze colored Metal parts coming from the charging port, with a screw driver taking off the protective tape..
Ok so it looks like I only need the screen then. Do you sell the screen? How much? I only see the LCD available.
on 2:18 SECOND of the video, how were you able to band/fold the LCD completely on top of screen, ??? And i broke my black color of screen on top of lcd while trying to take out LCD,
True the mid-shield with all these screws is a little inconvenient,
however we have to point out, that with such shielding iPad mini could potentially survive EMP or solar flares in a cataclysmic event ;)
Hi. I know that the glass is broken but how do I know if the LCD underneath is damaged? I see the price on your website is $46.99. Is that just for the touch screen? Does the screen come with the flex connector? Looks like it from the picture but I am not certain. The person that will be replacing it for me told me to double check. Thanks
very informative brothers thanks for sharing
LaptopScreen doesn't provide mail-in repairs yet.
However iPad Mini, as seen above, is not the most difficult repair imaginable, we'd rate the difficulty (on a professional scale) as 5/10: using appropriate tools and plenty of patience, a first time repairer should complete the job in under an hour.
As well we now sell direct-drop-in iPad Mini parts (no soldering required)
Thank you best guide on youtube
this helps a lot! thank you
This worked perfectly thanks .. my IPAD is like new .
Thank you so so much wry well done !
Thanks bro, fixed my sons iPad screen
I found that before disconnecting the LCD connector the battery connector should be removed. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the backlight fuse. Wish he would have mentioned that.
Yes now I think my backlight fuse is blown because he didn’t say anything about it
Kevin Finucane your supposed to turn off the device, and disconnect the battery first. But ive never had an issue with any iphone or ipad ive fixed where disconnecting the battery last (on accident) . The thing is if there is dust in those connectors, or anything, it can make a connection fail (which has happened for me on my 5s, the screen would turn in but the digitizer cable although in wouldnt work b/c of dust
Just check and make sure.
How do you know that both the LCD and Digitizer needs to be replaced??? I have an ipad mini that is cracked, but the LCD underneath still works.
Very well done, thank you
Thank you. I broke my lcd trying to fix my screen last Christmas trying to get a new screen on
Same here buddy
Hello,
i changed digitizer on my iPad mini, it works fine, but only for a week.
Now the digitizer stops reacting, home button works.
Can you help me?
Wow my sister that had more experience messed up her I pad and I wit no experience watched ur video and it came out purfect than you so much this was helpfull
Hi I can you tell me what part of an i pad is the actual storage compartment? I think my iPad has a deeper issue. So I was wondering if i can remove the storage compartment and replace it into a second ipad.
Ugh, it's a chip on the logic board. If you want to know more look up Jessa Jones from iPad Rehab on CZcams. You'd probably be better off sending the two iPads to her to do the work and pay for her time, its worth it if you really need to get your data. But at-least its doable.
My granddaughter dropped the mini iPad on the floor yesterday cracked the whole screen .. Does anyone know how much it is to replace the screen and where to buy to replace will someone PLEASE help me 4.25.18 TY
Can i use the old lcd if i just need to replace the digitizer
+Joe Salamone Yes, provided it doesn't crack during removal.
Do you have to disconnect the battery before the new LCD/digitiser goes on? I know in some iPads it blows the backlight
Only if you are planning on shorting out the connector by trying to plug it in while its misaligned...
Yes, disconnecting the battery would help to prevent damage that could occur from shorting the connector.
Short vid but the best one👍
I cannot get the screen off. I have heated all around the iPad for over 1 minute. it's hot on every corner but will still not come up with suction cup. I try to slide putty knife in but will not go in. help me please!!
It its pretty simple..The only problem I had was with the touch screen part.. My screen was completely shattered and I need a new one. Thats the hardest part you will come across..Also before you do this.. LOOK UP IPAD MINI SCREW CHART..Its a magnetic chart bigger than the ipad so you can place the screws on the chart that have the exact screw placements labeled.
I want to compliment you on a first-class tutorial, because you know how to instruct your viewers clearly, unlike many others. I have come here as I need to fit a replacement screen on a Mini 5. I have one question: is the Mini 5 same as the other Mini versions, please?
Thank you! Yeah they are all going to be about the same. Just look at your replacement part - where ever the cables are - be careful in that area when removing old screen.
@@Laptopscreen The model I have has no screen!
We do have no-solder-required parts now, but they sell out fast.
I nailed it. It really isn't too hard, The again My screen was fine, just didn't like the colour.
Do you have to go through this whole thing just to replace cracked glass? I looked at my iPad and it's only broken glass. Everything is responsive so am I able to just heat up the iPad then take it out and place the new one or do I just have to go through the whole process?
Yes, you would have to perform all the steps shown in the video. You would need to disconnect the digitizer in order to remove it and reconnect the new digitizer to make it work. The digitizer's connector is on the logic board, under the LCD and the EM shield, that is why you would need to remove the LCD and the EM shield to gain access to the digitizer's connector.
Watch the video carefully to understand the answer to your question.
((whilst I was replacing the shattered glass screen (digitiser?), I cracked the LCD also. Do I now have to replace this as well?
Yeah
Do you offer the iPad mini glass? I dont see it on your website.
One important part that's missing is the magnets. There are two magnets on the digitizer. The new one from ebay usually does not come with them. If you don't notice, you will not be able to use the smartcover. I missed and threw them away with the broken digitizer. Only after I put on the smartcover, I realized.
What is the price of screen and folder
I try to re-screw the 8 screws but the the sides of the iPad are magnetic
actually the ipad mini has magnet on both sides.
but this small magnets on the corners. what is that for?
Juan Rosales the iPad smart cover
