iPad: Can an iPad screen spontaneously crack after replacement?

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 18:01:05 -0700

I work at a computer repair shop, we do heaps of iPad screen replacements. Have had a customer come back after having their screen replaced. They claim they left it on a table and came back a couple hours later to a cracked screen. Has anyone else had this issue? Trying to work out if the customer dropped it and is lying to me.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0: Won't boot, keeps flashing boot logo

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 14:13:02 -0700

So, I have a Samsung SM-T230NU. When I tried to power it on, it flashed for a split second the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 logo and then went blank. I figured it was out of juice, so I plugged it in and let it charge for an hour or so.

When I came back, it was flashing and going dark.

I tried a different cable. As soon as power was applied, it flashed and went dark again.

Now, the boot logo is showing for an even briefer amount of time.

I am suspecting the battery or USB port. I don't have parts readily available to swap, however.

Any ideas?

iPad: Best adhesive for mounting the iPad Glass to Frame

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 02:28:40 -0700

I am trying to figure out the best way to mount the iPad glass to the frame. I have tried 3M Adhesive and different types of epoxy and nothing seems to work. The main problems I am having with these types of adhesive are that they don't hold. After a while the glass will start to separate from the frame. Any ideas or suggestions please let me know. I will try them all out!

Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2: Replace cracked digitizer front screen

Wed, 18 Jan 2017 19:25:46 -0700

Hi, just tried to replace the front digitizer touchscreen on this device, however despite being able to source a digitizer it appears to be glued to the LCD via a clear double sided sheet and I have managed to destroy the LCD now :(

- so if anyone has any source for this part

On the plus side it is pretty easy to remove the rear cover for access to the battery, just clipped to the bezel so gentle pying of the bezel outwards removes this if you work methodically.

iPad Mini: The iPad Mini home button is broken and doesn't click anymore.

Sat, 10 Apr 2021 23:28:13 -0700

The home button doesn't click anymore and has stopped working. There is no more mechanical feedback and the button does not bounce back after being depressed. Do I just need to replace the home button itself or the entire digitizer as well?

Thanks!

iPad Pro 10.5": iPad Pro 10.5 unresponsive to touch

Fri, 25 Sep 2020 07:07:22 -0700

My iPad Pro 10.5 began malfunctioning about three months after I bought it at the end of September 2017. I turned off everything: Bluetooth, multitasking, accessibility. My iPad Pro still—STILL—intermittently and often (several times a day) refuses to recognize typing and touch; the interface with Procreate is also glitchy. I wish Apple would acknowledge how faulty this iPad is and do right by its customers. FIX IT!

Maybe we should all just start new threads instead of commenting on old ones. So don't comment, just post your own question. Good luck!

Before people start suggesting fixes. Here are things I've tried. None of which work.

turned off bluetooth

turned off multitasking

turned off accessibility options

did many hard reboots

turned off in the regular manner and restarted, many times

did a factory reset

probably some other things...
