T Phael Black Digitizer Repair Kit for 2017 iPad 9.7(A1822, A1823) / iPad 5 iPad Air 1st Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement (Without Home Button) with Tools + PreInstalled Adhesive

too bad. It cracks after 2 months

Didn’t seem to have what I needed to remove the screen so I returned it.

I successfully replaced my 9.7 2017 iPads digitizer using this repair kit from T Phael. Apple wanted $250 to replace it. It only cost me $18.99 and my time (to replace it with this kit). Additional items I recommend are: 1) Hair Dryer (which I used) or a Heat Gun. 2) Latex Gloves 3) I used many of the tools in the kit, but not all of them. Some of the tools Im still not sure what they were for. I ended up not needing them. Searching I found several DIY tutorial videos on Youtube, which T Phael recommends doing (I used the search term iPad 5 9.7 LCD Screen and Touch Screen Digitizer Repair). Note: There isnt any instructions in the repair kit. The hardest part was removing my cracked digitizer. Even with using a hot hair dryer around the edges, it was still extremely difficult. But I finally managed to remove it. Just be careful not to sever any of the connectors or home button (ribbons). Once you remove the old digitizer its really not too difficult to replace. (Just be careful not to lose any screws or scratch the LCD screen!) The adhesive in the kit was okay. Well see how well it holds up over time. The touch screen works perfectly. The home button works (but is a bit looser now, so must be careful when pressing it). (The kit doesnt replace the home button. You use the same one that came with your iPad. So be careful not to sever the buttons ribbon!) Most of all, take your time. Dont rush through fixing the screen.

The adhesive didn’t hold very well. The screw itself is great. However it was constantly falling off Bc the adhesive didn’t hold well. While pushing it in, it actually cracked.

Price n quality

Time, you tube, patience ✨

It was good as expected.

Work great.

Very nice OEM iPad air digitized screen

The glue didn’t work very well, it came out within minutes after installation
