MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My 18 mth old smashed the screen of my iPad today, picked it up and dropped it on the floor. I'm taking her to the orphanage tomorrow, but in the meantime, what are me options to get it fixed? I've replaced laptop screens before but Im guessing the iPad is less easily dealt with?
The device is still working fine, its just the screen has a few hairline cracks in it.
Dont buy a cheap screen as they dont fit!!!!!!! My old ipad before i dropped it on site was fixed at a shop for 100quid with a shite ebay screen, all the way round it didnt fit flush and the home button "clicked " loudly so i took it to another shop and it was 140 to repair but a massive quality boost and i then sold it, ive replaced iphone and ipod touch screens but i was told to steer well clear of tampering with pad ones, plus this will void any type of warranty if still valid.
Take it to an Apple store and they will do you an exchange iPad. Just make sure you have backed it up first if it still works that is?
Not sure of the cost but for my iPhone 4s they wanted £140
I'd book a genius appointment and take it to Apple. Be honest and you might get lucky as I had my iPhone 5 replaced for free when I cracked the screen, but if not they'll simply swap it out for another 'refurbished' one and charge you the standard service price. It's not cheap, but you'll get basically a brand new iPad with no issues. 🙂
My 12 year old broke his headphone jack off and left half of it in the socket, fortunately a local computer repair shop can do it for £40, I had spoken to Apple support and researched the repair and the guy in the repair shop talked me through what the repair involved so I'm confident he knows what he's doing.

I've done that too
A matchstick with a dab of Superglue on it had it out in a jiffy
