> 3 dayThe product worked great. A tedious install, and I was nervous as this is the first time I have attempted anything like this. Please watch the video provided and probably a few more on YouTube if this is your first time. It helps a lot. The only issues that I had was the replacement screen didn’t have a back screen protective plastic wrap, so I had to be very careful to not get prints on the back side. And the glue that is on the screen isn’t very strong so it lifts a bit, though it doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal if you have a good case for it. They did also provide additional adhesive strips, but it still comes up. So maybe buy some good glue strips for yourself. Goo gone is a must by the way, and some isopropyl alcohol after that. I made a newbie mistake and flipped the tablet around to test it before gluing and didn’t turn it back around when trying open the screen back up, this resulted it the connectors coming undone while the battery was on. BIG YIKES. But by some miracle I didn’t fry the iPad in doing so. They also provided a screen protector which was nice, hopefully that keeps the GF from stomping on it on accident again XD.

> 3 dayI bought two of these screens from the same seller in the past month. The first one was broken during installation. The second screen was installed without any problem. The iPad works like a new one except for the touch screen. In the package of my second order, there was a card saying we refund if there is an installation accident , I contacted the seller, and he/she is very responsive (within 24hr), and agreed to refund me.

21-11-2024Replacing the screen wasnt terribly difficult, and went well, but a word of advice. Buy some aftermarket 2mm double sided electronics adhesive, remove the factory adhesive and replace with strips of the new stuff. Once installed it was clear that the adhesive was not up to the task of keeping it down uniformly. So, I gently removed the screen again, removed the factory strips, installed aftermarket strips to the frame, and re-adhered the screen. It now works and is secured like brand new. Next time I might consider ordering a screen with no adhesive, and installing my own, from the start. It wouldve saved me a lot of time and grief.

Greater than one weekExcellent product and communication with a concern I had! Product was packaged well, comes with everything you will need minus one thing, grab you a tube of t7000/t8000 glue the pre-applied adhesive didn’t stick well for me. There is a roll of adhesive tape that comes with it, but I didn’t try to use it. Also had one issue unrelated to the product, when I disconnected the battery with a playing card I guess it didn’t have a good connection after I removed it and re-assembled the iPad. It would reboot every couple of minutes. Took the same playing card and disconnected and reconnected the battery a few times and hooked everything back up and it functioned like a brand new iPad. Also heat gun and a lot of patience is your friend, my screen was totally shattered so it took maybe an hour to get that removed and cleaned up. Attached a photo of the connector that had my iPad restarting every couple of minutes.

> 3 dayBackground: I am a self-proclaimed tech geek, have built many PCs and have completed several PC, Phone, and Printer repairs. This was my first adventure into the iPad repair space and the objective was to repair my daughters cracked iPad screen. I looked up a couple videos on YouTube and watched the support video provided with this product and felt prepared. The process was more painstaking than I could have imagined. What I pegged as a couple hour job took me about 5 hours. Removing the old cracked glass is a complete pain (wear gloves and work on a solid surface so vacuuming/sweeping up the tiny shards of glass is easier). Once I got the old glass removed, I followed the detailed instructions to clean the metal casing edge well so the new screen would stick flush. When I went to gently press the new screen to the casing, it cracked in two places. So frustrating! I am giving this product 3 stars because I believe it is high value and gives you everything you need to complete the repair. The digitizer is highly responsive and seems to work well. However I wish the screen was more durable and the instructions from the seller were a bit more detailed (again I had to supplement with other videos on YouTube). Ultimately, I am not sure what I could have done different/better to join the new screen to the casing without it cracking. That all being said, if you are up for a tech challenge, this kit provides everything you need (minus the hair dryer/heat gun to loosen the adhesive) to replace an iPad screen. Buyer beware: the screen is extremely fragile and the process is painstaking. Good luck! Note: The bubbles you see in the picture are from the additional tempered glass screen protector (that comes with this kit) that I put on afterward to help prevent further cracking of the main digitizer screen below.

> 3 dayThis was pretty easy to install. First time using it was just like regular. Acts like normal but if you are planning to use an Apple Pencil like I use for my iPad this screen is not for you. It’s only responsive in small lines vertically on the screen. Probably will have to have a shop replacement to work with Apple Pencil. Sometimes it’s also unresponsive to finger touch but not as often as Apple Pencil. The home button did fall off inside the iPad a couple of days into the use of the screen. Could be user error or something but I didn’t expect it. Adhesion isn’t great but I just relied on the pre installed adhesive and not the tape that comes with it. Screen didn’t work but the company is great to work with. Awesome customer service. I got a full refund which is Amazing.

Greater than one weekOk, so I tried two digitizers from this vendor (Goodfixer) and both of them showed key ghosting after installation so I had to return and request a refund on both. Let me review both the vendor and digitizers separately.... Digitizers: For the first digitizer, I proceeded with the installation as described in the Goodfixer video (as well as other videos indicated below), and I did test the digitizer before removing the inside protecting film, and it seemed to be working fine, however after completing the installation (including adhering to the chassis) and started to use it the key ghosting (acting like random keys were pressed) was showing, and it was not responding to any of the touch commands I was trying thru the digitizer. I thought I had done something incorrect during the installation, so I proceeded to contact Goodfixer, proceeded to re-order a 2nd one, and got my refund for the first one. When receiving the 2nd one, I was extra careful thru the installation (reviewed the videos multiple times), but just before proceeding to adhere digitizer I tested again and still saw the key ghosting in the 2nd digitizer, so started to so some research online, and came across an article where other users have noticed similar experience when replacing the digitizer, and have mentioned they needed to tape the border of the new digitizer as some of the replacement ones had some shortage issue when contacting the ipad chassis. So, thinking to give this a try decided to try on the first one, and if everything went well, will do the same on the 2nd one. So, I proceeded to put transparent tape on the bottom side of the first digitizer (to both sides of the home button), and that worked. The first digitizer was responding normally. However, when I proceeded to do the same (this time using recommended Kapton tape) to the 2nd digitizer, it still was showing the defect. I even put tape around the sides, but nothing, I could not get it to work correctly. At this moment I was not happy (given how difficult the installation is) and having to do it multiple times, and by now I had proven myself the digitizers were the problem. So, I showed my evidence to Goodfixer, and requested a refund which was honored. I proceeded to order a 3rd digitizer (from a different vendor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0857KSMDB ), and it worked as a charm from the first time. So, my son is happy but it was a very stressful time for Dad :( So, if you are going to proceed with this digitizer know beforehand there is a risk associated with it, and given how difficult the installation is you may want to weight that in your final decision. It may have work for some people, but for me it did not. Vendor: Goodfixer was very responsive, answered all my questions, and followed up thru email with the refund process, also they tried their best to be understanding and responsive even though it had turned out to be a bad experience for me given the defective product. Tips for installation: If you are going to try to install the ipad 7 digitizer, you should watch multiple videos, multiple times and follow the process (to the letter) step by step. There a few available in youtube but the two ones that help me the most were: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clvQI59_r0o and this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj86RDBwMjY Try to get a magnetic screwdriver that you can use as a backup to the one provided. Armed yourself with a lot of patience.... Hope this helps!...Good luck!

> 3 dayIt had came with everything that I needed to repair the ipad screen. I followed the steps thoroughly and it was very detailed in manner. It came with all the tools, the screen , a protector for the screen and adhesive for the screen replacement. It aligned up perfectly. I would post pic of finished product but upon placing the case I had accidently broke the screen , and had learned upon turning it on that it wasnt just the top glass my lcd screen was also broke. I give this 5 stars for the directions and products being as stated and it worked well. Will be buying again in the future to finish fixing both of my ipads.
