Fixcracked for Touch Screen Replacement Parts Digitizer Glass Assembly Ipad Air 1st + WiFi Antenna Cable and Professional Tool Kit (White)

This was installed on an iPad Air (A1474). The instructions are helpful for getting the old screen out, but there was no instructions for installation. This screen had cables bent in positions that did not allow installation from those angles, so it took some trial and error to find a way to tuck them in place where everthing still worked. That meant NOT removing any of the adhesive protectors until the absolute very end and after the screen was tested for full function. Then once everything was together, we noticed (Murphs Law, of course) that the home button was loosely rattling around in its space and not returning to the top of the screen. It still works, but regularly needs coaxing into its proper position. Im not certain where that failure occurred in the installation process or whether it is a defect - I didnt adequately inspect its function prior to the install, only that it initially and superficially appeared normal. So, I suggest that you check the home button function prior to installation. Update ~30 days later - the adhesive has loosened causing the screen to lift in places around the bottom outer-shell. This is not acceptable! I paid close attention to clean procedures, so this should not have happened if a quality adhesive was used.

Very good

Most of the tools were missing and the instructions were impossible to navigate. Ill update if we can get this to work at all.

Because the instructions literally just stop, I had to wing it. I was not in a location that I could watch YouTube videos but in reality, I shouldnt have too. Because of the instructions that end prematurely, I ended up crimping the home button ribbon so now my home button doesnt work. Very disappointed.

The product did work for me unfortunately the button I received on my product did not work I had to replace it with the original one from the original screen. I would honestly probably go with another vendor next time because that was a lot of extra work. The screen did work but the button was another story.

great price, works well. My niece is happy. Now the real test of how durable it is. It has been about a month and its still perfect. One Tip - Remove all previous adhesive around the boarder/aluminum frame, so that your replacement screen adheres well to the frame.

The pre-glued on parts were nice, but they were not centered properly and pinched one of the flat cables. The screen worked for a few days then started to behave weird, like someone was pressing on the screen when in fact nobody was. Slightly prying back up the screen where the pinched cable was helped, but it will need to be completely replaced.

Good

The digitizer works. Inclusion of camera bracket, home button assembly and cable, and adhesive strips already attached are all welcome features. Anyone with more experience at this than myself wouldnt have had my minor problems. I found thin strands of glue stuck to the inside surface and ending up putting scratches on it trying to remove it. This might not have been a problem if there was a protective cover on the inside as well as the outside surface. The home button cable doesnt have adhesive supplied to keep it in place which would have been useful when closing it up. Another problem not related to the product that others might find useful: I found the LCD cable plug/tab to be more difficult to get seated than indicated in any of the YouTube videos. It definitely snapped in, but the LCD would not turn on. After several inspections and attempts at reinstalling I pushed down on it more forcefully out of desperation. I didnt feel any additional snap, but it finally came on.

At first I was sckeptical to even try this since Ive never changed a screen on anything. Im a mom so it was risky. The hardest part was getting my old screen off(it took slot of heating up with my blow dryer) but after that I was just careful to not loose the screws, it was 5 that I had to take out. Took me a good 3-4 hours but I was so happy with the results . My iPad looks great and works great too.
