I Pad Air. Feeling quite chuffed
Both the missus and myself have an i Pad Air and use them regularly.
Unfortunately the three grandchildren like them as well and mine finished up getting the screen broken, on two separate occasions as it. Was only a simple crack for weeks. Anyhow I decided to get it fixed and at first was going to send it away but then a local company could do it for £40 and in two hours. Luckily I viewed a tutorial on “You Tube” which made it look easy. I purchased two new screens for around £24 and today I successfully replaced my broken screen. Simples, plus I have a spare screen for next time the little treasures break one. |

Well done, sounds like you have 2nd spare screen for 'next time'. Just as well, iPads are renowned for their fragility.

Tablet screens, they are not too bad to do , just seems a a bit daunting at first.

For info, I used two Stanley knife blades to prize the old glass off.
They are very slim and with the extra width this spreads the load. After the screen was coming free I used plastic cards ( old caravan club ones) to place between the glass and the frame and I used the Missus’s new Dyson hairdryer I bought her for Christmas With the heat applied it softens the glue on the sticky back tape. |
