White Digitizer Repair Kit for iPad Mini 1&2 A1432 A1489 Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement with IC Chip + Home Button + Tools + Pre-Installed Adhesive

Bought this as a last resort to save my mini iPad, the screen was cracked to the point it would leave shards in my finger if I tried to use it. I figured if I bought this and could change out the screen great, if I couldn’t and it was too complicated then fine because the iPad was going to be trash anyway. But I am beyond grateful I bought this screen because it not only saved my iPad from going in the trash but the installation video for help was amazing and so detailed! It took me two days to be able to removed all the broken shards from the iPad but once everything was gone I was able to install the new screen within one hour. Super recommend this for anyone wanting to save their iPad!

The flexible circuit board for the touchscreen is different then in the listing or from the original. Looking at the picture I added, you will see that the flexible circuit board hangs over the edge of the screen edge. This caused the bottom portion of the screen to stop working when I assembled the iPad mini due to being pinched. The original touchscreen did not have this design. I have asked for a replacement, and hopefully it will not have the same problem. Master chief electronic technician, USN, retired.

The screen was fine and looks great. Can’t tell any difference if it’s ever been repaired. The only downside and it’s not really bad….just annoying at times, but the home button will sometimes get stuck. Press it again and it releases. It’s not a big deal….but it is something to be aware of.

The new digitizer screen itself is working perfectly. It was difficult removing everything to get at the connections and the screws are tiny tiny, but that is not the fault of the digitizer. You will also need to have double sticky tape since none came with the new digitizer screen and what was on it was not sticky enough.

Thank you.

This was a perfect kit to replace the touch screen on my Ipad mini 2. It comes with several handy tools, especially the mini Phillips head screwdriver driver, the plastic guitar picks to prop the touch screen up, and a couple of other tools to make it easy to do everything you need. A few other items to get: B-7000 glue which is needed to glue the glass screen back into place, and some eye wear protection - if you're replacing shattered glass, the little shards of glass can pop everywhere including into your eyes! I used a blow dryer to heat the edges, too, but that blows the little pieces of glass everywhere, too, so I'd recommend a heat gun instead. But I got by without the gun, and fixed two iPads in a couple of hours. It was fairly easy to do, just need patience and be careful not to scratch the LCD screen beneath thtouch screen glass. Dont use a metal putty knife like some videos show; it's likely to scratch the LCD. Just use the plastic tools that come with this kit.

It works. The tape backing was a little tricky. Had to use an exacto to lift the edge to peel it. Adhesion is ok. I gotta every now and then press the top on again to seal it. Overall it works.

Instructions show hands happily peeling back the blue plastic to expose the adheisive. But they lie...lol. The adhesive sticks more to the blue film than to the glass. So when you try to peel it off to stick it down, the adhesive comes up with the blue strip.Use a razor blade to get it peeled back!I also think the vendor is aware of the issue. This is why they suggest the bottle of glue with your purchase...But hey...a new digitizer, tools and an included home button for just over $15 I'd a good deal. They also shipped quick.
