Has anyone else seen this or have a solution other then the obvious “reset network settings” or “erase all settings” or restoring. This has not remedied the issue, and all antennas are properly connected.

I’m struggling with how to line up the actual home button with the rubber gasket. Are there any guides or videos that would help with this?

I have had my iPad mini 4 for about 4.5 years and 1 week ago the screen started to shake and split into double images. I have not dropped it before and have not had any water damage to it before. It’s a precious item gifted by someone I love, and I do try my best to take care of it though I understand electronics can’t last forever.

I have rebooted/restarted/turn off the device and it worked temporarily until a few hours later and the shaking will come back again. The touch functions work fine, everything else works fine except for the display.

This happens 2-3 times a day and usually 1-3 hours after using. I mainly use the iPad to watch videos only, and the shaking/double images ranges between 20 mins to 2 hours, sometimes with black-lit screen in between, and after that it will be fine again. I’ve brought it to a shop to have a look at it as I suspected there was a fault with the LCD, and they mentioned that there was nothing wrong with the screen and that it is unlikely a problem with the motherboard? So they only did a ‘cleaning’ but the problem still persists. Should I insist for them to change the LCD?

I do appreciate anyone who can help me with this issue please, thank you.

I want to repair my iPad mini 4 LTE, but I am not sure, which part I need. Could you help me please? I missed part in the bottom right corner, probably antenna(broken you can see on picture), but I am not sure what type I need and where I can make order.

Thank you,

Now the power button usually doesn’t lock screen but on long pressing can bring up the slide-to-shutdown screen and I have annoying “auto“ screen lock (ie screen locked without any reason and frequently, even few second after I’ve inserted the password to unlock).

Any help?

I’m so tempted to just kick that piece of junk to nothingness, you have no idea. What stupid device cannot handle a new battery, that’s beyond me. I already fixed quite some phones, mostly iPhones (screens, batteries, stuff like that ), but never hit an issue like this. How can I de-brick that, if DFU doesn’t help?

I have found this iPad mini 4 128gb for sale for 150 euros and talked it down to 120. The seller is saying that they have replaced the iPad’s screen (at a shop where apparently they had been warned that the wifi might be damaged) and that after that the Wifi and cellular are not working, but it can still be connected to a hotspot. They’re also saying the Wifi might be restored through Cydia - not sure where they got this idea form.

Now I have three questions:

1. Does this seem like a plausible story?
2. If the ipad is connecting to a hotspot, would you assume that the wifi is working and that it may be a software issue?
3. Would you buy it?

I thank you for your help!

I’ve installed the replacement screen and home button and was able to get into the settings and turn off the wake/lock feature to get around the need for the sensor. The home button works (no touch id of course), but the bracket isn’t quite stable enough - I used the double sided red adhesive that is normally used on the frame.

What is a standard adhesive to use with the home button brackets (short of using super glue)?

My friend gave me his ipad mini 4 to repair as i usally fix phones/laptops/and tablets for fun but i have not had this much trouble with a device before.

I’m on my second screen as i tried to force the last one and it cracked

when i put the 2 rbbon cable and screw them and everything seems relitively flat but as soon as i lower doen the scren to get it closed the bottom portion where the home button is is lifted slightly. i had tried to apply a bit of pressure to get it to stay down while i applied the adhesive but that didn’t work and ended up craking the screen

I’m not sure what i should be looking at when i apply some pressure the bend seems to come from the battery but looking at it i can’t se anything wrong with it and putting back the old screen works is it possible both screens i purchased have a defect?
