Fixcracked Touch Screen Replacement Parts Digitizer Glass Assembly for Ipad mini 2012 （A1432 A1454 A1455）& mini 2 2013 (A1489 A1490 A1491) 9.7 inch+ Professional Tool Kit (white)

Overall good product, I’ve tried to install without using extra adhesive strips and it peeled off the next day. So you do need extra adhesive, but once it’s done, works and holds really well.

I purchased this screen replacement for my ipad mini2 hoping to bring my tablet back to its original state before one of my kids broke it (although none of them are willing to fess up who dropped it.) I watched a few YouTube videos and it look fairly easy so I gave it a go. Some hour or so later, I had a brand new looking tablet for a very inexpensive price. It shouldnt take that long but I was having a really hard time separating the old screen. It kept breaking into tinier pieces and tiny glass shards kept flying everywhere plus I was being extra careful not to breakthe LCD screen when I got to it. The first 2 pictures are the before...obviously! And the second 2 are after. The last picture shows a teeny tiny gap between the edge of the screen and the frame. Thats because the adhesive that comes attached to the screen is not that great and pulls apart on the sides only. If I had to do it again, I would buy additional adhesive strips to put down. I am not concerned because I am planning on putting a hefty case on now that will push/hold down the screen. Other than that, I think it is a great product and I would definitely buy it again!

Very good replacement

I was able to replace my digitizer screen successfully for which I’m happy about. The tools that came with the screen worked great too. The only recommendation that I have is to provide very clear and larger instructions for the replacement. The instructions provide were super tiny and there is no way the required detail can be seen. Thankfully I’m fairly intuitive and could figure it out. What would work well is to provide a link to clear, high resolution instructions online.

Ok, the title is a bit misleading, I actually erroneously ordered the white instead of the black. Probably an option I missed somewhere, but Im not much one to care about the color so I used it anyway. The package came very quickly, well before other Items I ordered days earlier. It was packed in a bubble envelope, but the box was fine as were the contents. I already have tools from several other iPad/iPhone/Macbook mishaps, but this one had the metal chisel and tweezers as well as a bunch of guitar picks. As others have mentioned, removing the old screen and the adhesive residue takes the longest. Mine was pretty cracked from two corner impacts, so removal was slow going and required several passes with the heat gun. Installation was a breeze and touchscreen works beautifully. I just completed the install, so I cant speak to the long term durability of the screen or adhesive, but it seems to be pretty solidly held in place. I also didnt notice any issues with the interior or exterior glass covers leaving residue; the screen looks perfect. It was just an iPad mini 2 that I had been using for a few things, but got tired of pieces of glass catching my fingers and stopped using it because I didnt want to spend over $100 on an item I only use occasionally. But $25 and a bit of my time made it worthwhile. All told, it was about an hour and a half, a good chunk of that was removing the residue from the frame and pounding the corners back into place. Were I not as particular in removing the glue and if the corners were good, it would have taken about 30-45 minutes.

The digitizer is working good so far. The only cons I have with this product are; the tape that comes on the digitizer, it isnt strong at all, and the second thing is the home button. After I finished the install the home button was very loose and I really had to press down in order to get it to click. Other than that its a great product, loved the tools that were included and thanks for covering all the copper for me to avoid the ghost tapping.

It lasted little over one year, then it started acting up, either not responsive or clicking random spots as if one touched the screen when not. 3 stars for lasting one year for the price.

This replacement screen worked perfectly for my daughter’s iPad. The installation wasn’t too bad, but I used a YouTube tutorial instead of the sad instruction sheet that was included. The big con for me with this thing is that when I peeled off the protective film on the front of the digitizer, it left an adhesive residue that, so far, has been damned near impossible to remove. And I’m a chemist who knows about solvents! I don’t know what the hell it is. I’ve used acetone, butane, ammonia, and water. It’s still there.

It works. Very easy to install. Biggest issue they don’t give any instructions how to. The hardest part is taking off your old screen. There is not any formal YouTube instruction. I had to dig and found one not sponsored. Another warning is. I thought it did not work or I had done something wrong. It would not turn on normally. You need to reboot after you finished installing. Hold home button and side button at same time for a few seconds.

Photos are before, during the repair and afterwards. The included tools were useful and of good enough quality to get the job done. The included instructions are not useful. There are plenty of YouTube videos that show the process step-by-step to get you through this. I watched about four instructional videos and picked up some tips from each that proved useful. I used a hairdryer to soften the adhesive instead of a heat gun and it worked well. I think the best tip that I found was to thoroughly remove every speck of residual factory adhesive form the iPad with a soft cloth and acetone. Then clean with 91% or high concentration isopropyl alcohol. Obviously dont over saturate the cloth you dont want this on internal components. Once completely cleaned the adhesive on the replacement glass can then fully adhere to the aluminum iPad frame. After seating it well, reheat the periphery of the iPad to set the adhesive and apply firm pressure around the edges. I took my time and it took 90 minute to complete the job. The iPad Mini looks like it did prior to damage and there are no noticeable difference from a brand new iPad Mini. And it operates without problems. I would fully recommend this product. Only time will tell if the adhesive fails, but so far so good.
