Seemed to all go well. I must admit I did touch the LCD with my hand a few times, and there were some tiny marks on it, perhaps form flakes of glass. I used the little rag that came with the repair kit to clean the LCD as best I could.

I buttoned everything back up (but didn't glue down the new glass yet. I fired it up - and the screen is 100% covered with garbled lines in a rainbow of colors. I couldn't reboot because you can't see anything on the screen. I held down both buttons, etc. But it just seems to restart and the issue is still there.

I've checked the connections 10 times. All is perfect.

Is there anything else I can try? Is there a cable or anything I might try to replace before buying a new LCD?

This is my first question, so please bear with me as I figure this out.

I have a iPad 2 CDMA (64GB) that had the battery swell up and explode (no one was injured other then the iPad itself), and it killed the screen, case, and the logic board. I bought the same model on eBay to try and swap the parts, and after I tested individual components with the new ones, I know that the logic board is dead, although I did get a relevant current draw when the power button is pressed. .

Since I know the logic board is dead, I used the iPad 2 Teardown Guide to locate the NAND flash chips, and attempt to transfer them to the new logic board. The only issue is that I ripped a few PCB pads during the de-soldering process of the original chip on the new logic board.

Is it possible to fix the ripped traces, or do I need another new logic board? Also, is this idea to recover the data even feasible? Since I haven't touched the original logic board with the data yet, those chips are still soldered on, so I obviously need a few tips on removing those as well.

Thanks in advance.

I replaced the screen in iPad 2,3.

After that I received a black screen.

The screen is completely black as when is off.

when I turn it I have the same screen. I don’t have illuminated light. Black complete as when is off!

i checked the LCD is working with another iPad so it’s not the LCD. Also I opened the motherboard and I saw that

I there is a blown fuse. Please took a look the picture.

Can we say that this fuse was blown??? Could somebody confirm it?

could be if I replace it will began to work????

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated!

thank you

I managed to break a flat cable when removing the glass of my old Ipad 2. It’s the one on the right side of the face camera. (attaching an image) What is it and where to order a new one?

thanks,

Rick

I did replace the digitizer and added the orange tape to the silver edges of the inside of the glass. Although i can see some edges of the silver metal. Would that be enough to still cause the ghosting ? The black plastic replaceable edge around the digitizer was having trouble sticking to the frame so the glass was not totally sticking to the ipad. But this was slightly noticeable. It would get worsen as the ipad stayed on longer, then randomly go to other screens. Thanks for your help

Anyway, I bought a front panel replacement kit from ifixit, removed the broken panel in 3 billion pieces, cleaned off the old adhesive and stuck the new front panel on. The new panel already had the home button and adhesive installed.

Fired up the iPad and the screen looked amazing! Brand new! But I quickly noticed something was wrong. At first I thought it was freezing, but then I realized its just a very specific part of the screen that doesn't respond. It's basically the bottom portion of the screen, when the keyboard is up, the "7" and "U" and myabe "J" don't respond to touch. I imagine any touch in this area isn't detected, its just when the keyboard is up I can really notice where exactly it is.

Other than that, the iPad works flawlessly. Is there any reason when that specific portion of the screen would not work? And is there a fix? I've already tried "erasing all content and resetting" but there was no improvement.

I bought 2 power button ribbons from the US but neither of them work. Is there something I might be missing?

When I connect it to a power source (not computer) the Apple logo appears then goes, this continues to happen in a loop. Nothing else happens.

When I connect it to the computer the screen stays black. It doesn't appear as a device on the computer and the Apple logo doesn't appear.

Can anyone help

It was my thinking that the screen was broken and so I purchased a replacement screen for £20. It has a very sturdy and easy to fit cable, so I don't think I made any mistaked here, but the screen still does not come on.

Could this be a problem with the chipset, or perhaps by sheer bad luck did I buy a faulty replacement screen?
