why did it fail in the first place, when it was working before?

is there any solution to fix this digitizer other than replacement?
e.g. putting tape around the edge of the screen, tape where the connectors are to prevent a short.

I know there can be other issues that occur after replacing the digitizer

e.g. ghost touch input

Is there anything that can be done to prevent the ghost touch input issue after replacement of the digitizer?

Note that the slow or semi-random charging had been present prior to the battery update, and began when the iPad last upgraded to some version of ios 12. (approx. a year of bad charging behavior, where it would jump from 4% to 100 % in a very short time.)

Initially, after the battery upgrade, it appeared to be stone dead - screen NOT lighting up at all. Left it on a charger for a couple of days, still nothing.

Connected it to a Mac MINI, and when I pressed the button, the device came on! but it showed 1 or 2 % power. The Mac MINI said that the device was “drawing too much power”, and I should disconnect it. Put it back on a charger for several days. It climbed to a staggering 4% battery level. Everything appears to work, touch screen, buttons, etc. Except for the sad state of charging.

Any obvious culprits?

when it sleeps. you can’t wake it other than turning on the backlight. Able to sleep+home to restart ipad.

after pressing sleep or auto sleep, you can still hear siri and sleep/cover clicks.

I understand that the mini 4,5 have a sleep/wake switch. am i wrong in thinking the mini 2 does not?

- Power button does not lock the iPad however, shut down works (long press)

- Many Apps like MS Teams gets installed; however, cannot join any sessions

- Overall, the iPad is much slower than it used to be

Actions Taken

- Erased All contents and Settings to Factory Default many times upto iOS 12.5.4

• Charged new battery for over 8 hours
• Re-started multiple times by holding power button and home button
• Tried disconnecting the battery, touch screen and lcd connectors and re-connecting
• Connected to iTunes on my PC (note that I had to guess where the number keypad was on my screen in order to unlock the Ipad. I did back up the Ipad on my PC just before starting the repair). ITunes says the battery is at 97% or so.
• Used iTunes to reload the software (I have not yet tried to “restore”)
• Locate Ipad using apple “find my” app from my phone and get Ipad to make sound
• Tried Siri - she responded when I said “hey siri” but does not respond to questions after that.

I’m wondering whether I damaged a wire or connector or the LCD beyond repair (I didn’t see any damage but these parts are rather small). Any hope of getting LCD to work? Thank you!

Not sure if this is causal or coincidental, but the device took an iOS update (Honestly, I cant remember which one) and I started experiencing the problem that follows:

LCD/backlight and digitizer work fine upon hard reset. After login, everything still works fine.

Locking the screen appears to work appropriately (screen dims).

However when coming out of the lock screen, the LCD fails to show an image. The backlight appears to be working as it is an illuminated black screen. The device is still operating - you can interact with both the digitizer and the home button (if you can guess where to touch without images on the screen). And you can hear the appropriate sounds coming out of the device.

Nothing resolves this state short of a hard reset. Disabling the lock screen entirely keeps the ipad working, but is less than ideal.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a hardware error or a software error? The panel worked fine for a long period prior to the iOS update.

If it is a hardware error, I would be okay with picking up a new panel, but I just want some insight prior to swapping the panel out again.

I have an iPad mini 2 which randomly either takes screenshots when I press the home button or displays ‘slide to power off’ screen. I realise that these both point towards a stuck or intermittent power button but I have replaced this and also replaced the digitizer to rule that out. Unfortunately it’s still the same. Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks in Advance

I’ve had this iPad for about 7 years, and had the LCD screen replaced 3 times. The one I currently have on is about 2 years old.

I have realized these lines come on only when hot. I didn’t do any damage from the outside (it started while I was asleep). It went away for about 24 hours when I turned it off and back on, then I went outside with it and it started again. Which leads me to think it has to do with heat. I do have a cracked screen, but I cracked it months ago. They are very deep cracks, so there is a possibility of water damage on the table. I have heavily used it since breaking it, so it may have a role in it. Also when I first found it like this, the bottom right corner of the screen wouldn’t react to touch. Turning it off and on again fixed that though.
