Shattered iPad 4 screen, help!

I thought I'd check in here for advice. I just dropped and shattered my iPad 4 screen and wondered if anyone here has done the replacement themselves? How difficult is it? Everything still seems to work fine so do I just replace the screen or the lcd also?

Thank you in advance, cheers

  • Noooooo!!!

    I Replaced an iPhone 5 screen this year, relatively easy. I think the LCD/ glass is one unit so you replace them both together. Same for iPads I think.

  • Ouch. Dude, I'm sorry.

    I shattered my 4s and put scotch tape over the whole thing. Worked just fine for several months while I waited for the 6 to come out.

  • I would probably cry if this happened to me. Does it cut your fingers if you finger it now? Good luck with the replacement.

  • Thanks @Hmtx, after watching some videos it appears the screen is still separate on the 4. Prolly worth 20 bucks to give it a try. Thanks for the sympathy @syrupcore, maybe I'll try that heat shrink window stuff until I can get a new air 2.

  • I still may cry @firejan82. It's not too bad on the useable part of the screen, along the bevel edge it is destroyed..

  • I'd probably keep fingering till there's blood everywhere. Nothing wrong with that sentence, at all.

  • You must admit its all the cause of drumjam. Well these things happen once.

    More that I'm a klutz. I've had so many close calls and yet still didn't put the case back on it.

  • My son dropped his iPad 3 and a slight hairline crack appeared, however he dropped it again and the result was similar to the pics posted at the top

    Cost £45 for replacement glass, however, newer devices cost so much more to fix

    Unless u have a very steady hand..highly advise u take it to a professional

  • I'm in southeast Michigan and quite a few of these 'we fix cracked ipad/iphone screens' places have popped up, myself i would go there because i am not at all a handyman.

    Thanks touchconspiracy, I put a screen protector on it for now, at least now I won't cut myself. I watched a couple videos on screen replacement and it doesn't look too bad.
    Might be worth a try at this point.

    I spent the first 19 yrs of my life outside of Grand Rapids. Most of my family is still around those parts.

  • I'm usually into DIY, but when mine got cracked I just took it to a local cellular place.
    Was just under a hundred bucks and I had it back the next day.

  • Sorry to hear that. My Mrs did the same with a day old iphone6! No insurance. Local bloke replaced screen but the chassis also got bent (which was very hard to see) so even with a new screen in it wouldn't sit completely flush & rocked a wee bit top to bottom. New chassis fixed it but just thought I'd mention the chassis issue as this meant even more cash. Good luck.

  • I'm not sure if my chassis is bent but all the corners are pretty banged up. I made the mistake of stopping in at Costco and playing with GarageBand on an air2 128g and now I can't stop thinking about that damn thing. $ 659.00! Not too bad.

  • $659 - $100 ebay sale of broken iPad 4 = not too bad at all.
