Q. Okay so I dropped my iPad and now the lcd screen is cracked. The glass is fine, so I was wondering if I need to replace digitizer as well. I would also like to know the price of the digitizer and lcd replacement costs. Thank you.
A. 1 - there are actually TWO parts you really need to replace on an iPad to repair a broken screen, the front glass panel (this item) and the "mid board". Most front panels on the market include the mid board pre-adhered on the back of the glass panel. This product comes without a mid board and you will will need to either try to remove the existing one on your iPad w/o damaging it (virtually impossible as the adhesive is very strong). The mid board w/o the glass panel was very hard to find for sale on the web. Once,
2 - Opening your iPad w/o damaging the case is hard. Spend your money on a high quality metal case opening tools. Be warned, all the videos on the web greatly undersell the difficulty of this step. They neglected to show that all of the tabs are on the top, bottom and the right. If you can get the case open the rest is not too hard.

How much does Apple charge to fix an iPad Digitizer and/or LCD?
Q. I have an iPad (Wifi Model), and it was dropped from my couch onto the carpet floor, which somehow destroyed the INSIDE of the iPad. The glass screen is not cracked, but it seems that the digitizer is messed up and the LCD inside is cracked. I tried looking up on the Apple website, but they didn't say.
I need to know how much it would cost if I brought it to the Apple Store to get it fixed or replaced.
Those will previous experiences is a plus!
Thanks!
A. It would cost way more than what I paid for my Squaretrade warranty, I dropped it the second day and they fixed it in 5 days. already covered my warranty cost

Why do people pay $200+ for a busted ipad on ebay?
Q. Of corse the ipad originally cost $750, but that was brand new at the time. Even if someone had an ipad that was in need of some sort of repair, I don't see spending $200 just for the parts to fix it.
A. ipad digitizer screen = $200-$250 with installation or self install with cheap stuff ($45)
Ipad home button = $4-8
ipad wifi antenna = $14-20
ipad the shell / casing = $25-$100 (depends on the idiot buying or selling)
so in conclusion ipad sells for parts, a cracked ipad with cheap stuff replacement is still cheaper than buying a new one
