Those who use an iPad on a daily basis know that it is prone to problems. It’s not necessarily any sort of defect with the device itself, but the fact that people just use it with so much frequency. Do you have an iPad 2 that you absolutely love, but you accidently dropped it and now the screen is completely cracked? Are you no longer covered by any sort of warranty or Apple coverage? If this is the boat you’re in, don’t worry, there are smoother waters ahead! You don’t necessarily have to have insurance or be under warranty to get your broken iPad fixed. As a matter of fact, you just need to be able to stop by a local repair shop. If you don’t have access to one in your area, many sites offer mail in iPad repair services for your convenience. These places all work fast because they know that your iPad helps you to stay connected to the world, and they pride themselves on being cheaper and faster than major carriers. So, you can either mail in your damaged iPad or bring it to a local repair shop, and expect fast results.
Want to repair the screen on your own? You can buy kits online! All you really have to worry about is getting the correct parts. Going to a professional can help to diagnose what the exact problem is. A broken screen might be more than just a broken screen – it might just look like cracked glass, but the problem could be the LCD or digitizer. If you are confident that you know which layer of the screen is problematic, then go ahead and order the appropriate parts to do the repair. You will need an adhesive replacement kit, a source of heat such as a hair dryer, the replacement part such as the replacement digitizer, an iPad opening tool and a few more parts. Any standard repair kit will come with most everything that you need so long as you are able to properly identify the problem. Have questions? Ask a local repair shop or have a look online at what is available! No warranty, no coverage…no problem!
