Product Quality Notes

This part replaces the front glass and touch digitizer only. It does not include the LCD display.

If the iPad has image issues such as display lines, black screen, liquid marks, backlight issues, or visible LCD damage, a digitizer-only replacement may not resolve the problem.

As with most replacement digitizers, there may be minor differences from the original Apple glass in glass finish, touch feel, colour tone of the border, adhesive fit, or overall cosmetic appearance depending on the specific supply batch.

Best For

iPads with cracked or shattered front glass

Devices where the LCD image is still working normally

Touch issues caused by damaged digitizer glass

Repair shops performing glass-only iPad repairs

Customers looking to restore iPad usability without replacing the full LCD assembly

Important Installation Notes

Professional installation is strongly recommended. iPad digitizer replacement requires heat application, careful glass removal, adhesive cleaning, flex cable handling, home button transfer or testing, and accurate glass alignment.

No tools or adhesive are included.

The digitizer should be tested before final installation and before removing protective films.

If reusing the original home button, it must be transferred carefully. Home button damage, torn flex cables, bracket issues, or incorrect installation are not covered under warranty.

Damage caused by improper installation, cracked glass during installation, torn flex cables, pressure damage, liquid exposure, adhesive errors, incorrect testing, or home button transfer damage is not covered under warranty.

Warranty Information

This component includes a 30-day limited parts warranty for qualifying manufacturing defects.

The warranty does not cover installation damage, accidental damage, cracked glass, pressure damage, torn flex cables, home button damage, adhesive issues, liquid exposure, compatibility mistakes, or problems caused by improper repair procedure.
