An IPad - LCD Repair

By James Keyes

If you are a highly qualified technician, it is easy to repair your iPad LCD. You might be capable of repairing your iPad LCD if you have experience with different types of electronic equipments, even though you may not have had formal training.

These days, the liquid crystal display (LCD) that is used in the iPad is thin and flat. It is very light in weight, saves space, causes less eye strain, and is energy efficient. If you consider the amount of wear and tear the LCD goes through, it is likely that your iPad LCD will need to be repaired sometime in its lifetime.

In order to do an iPad LCD repair you first should be familiar with the symptoms before attempting opening up the iPad. You should use the manual and go over every iPad part and their functions. Most users' manuals will have a troubleshooting section for your use. There are some problems which can be repaired without having to open the iPad. Most of the time these problems involve what is called a dead or stuck pixel. Usually, this appears as a small black, green, blue, or red, on the screen. To repair this, you first have to turn the iPad screen power off and then apply some pressure on the dead pixel by tapping on the spot with a solid but soft object that won't scratch the screen.

If the LCD screen on your iPad shows only one part which is bright while the other part is dark, the LCD screen is blank, or there are rippling patterns, rearing lines, or there are red or pink colors dominating the screen, it means that there is an internal problem and the iPad must be opened to repair the iPad screen. First, carefully separate the back shell of the screen from the front shell. Once you have removed the screen from the screen stand, place the main part face down on a flat smooth surface.

You will need your cutters, soldering tools, small screwdrivers, adhesives, and voltage tester. Once you have opened the iPad, focus on burnt parts, bulging capacitors, liquid discharge, and cracked boards. When you are conducting an iPad screen repair these types of problems will require parts replacement. There are special meters that are rapidly able to detect defective capacitors. Damaged capacitors that are electrolytic are often the cause of iPad LCD breakdowns. Once you have replaced the damaged parts, all you have to do is replace everything and you have completed the iPad LCD repair.
