Ipad mini Lcd half dead after digitizer replacement - GSM-Forum

csk34 · 06-21-2014, 13:17

Hello everybody!
I just tried to fix my iPad mini after my father broke the digitizer.
So....where do I start??

First time I do this kind of operations
Removed the broken digitizer (that was messy...glass shattered everywhere!)
Removed the lcd and shield plate
Disconnected broken digitizer, lcd and battery
Cleaned up everything
Connected the new digitizer, lcd and battery
Tested the iPad to see if everything was working
PROBLEM!

There is no backlight but you can see the icons on the lcd, the problem is that the left half of the screen is dead!
I tried to disconnect and re-connect the lcd again but nothing changed, have I damaged something while I was removing the lcd??
Can someone help me out???

Well it would be better if you could post the photo but i guess you damged the flex cable still you have chance to verify ; go to the shop where you buy the new lcd and ask for new lcd thus you can check the problem

The lcd is not new, it was working properly before I opened the ipad, I just replaced the digitizer.
I tried to upload a photo but the site says that I cannot post link until I reach 10 messages

I am almost positive that you have a bad lcd screen I had the same issue but after you remove it it goes out since it has been suffered a damage from falling.

I damaged the LCD while I was removing it.
I tried out with a new one and everything is ok.
Cheers
