I dropped my iPad yesterday, and the screen's all cracked and horrible.
Is there anyone in Wick who'll replace the glass front? (The LCD display is fine, just the glass bit that's cracked)

The glass front is called a digitalizer u can get them of ebay i think there about £40 but u have to watch what ure doing with them there glued and there is one antenna wire and another one that u can easy cut themwhen seperating the digitaliser
Yeah, i know it'd be quite difficult to do without breaking it, that's why I'd rather pay someone to do it for me than do it myself.Quote:

Its a fiddly job but fine if you have the correct tools for splitting the glue and screen from the back plate.
i've watched a couple of videos and i cannot see anything thats no diff from doing lappy screens
get the new screen & a pack of metal clips and bring it around.

How much would you charge for it?
approx £45 cause your on the org

Hmm, the actual part seems kinda expensive to buy.. I think it'd be cheaper to just send it off and get it repaired.
the part is £20-£40 off ebay
there are companies in the uk that will do the job + 12mts warranty for £105.

is that for the iPad 3 one? the only ones I could find were £90-ish.
well we didn't know till now
assumed it was a 2

2mts old blimey!
not got home ins have you?
what about apple store? i have heard they do change them FOC in the states
wonder if in the uk?
why not email uk hq and ask
indicate that the cause of the damage was gentle and you expected it to be tougher.
