iPad2 repair - I may be your guy.

[noelani72]

Just putting this out there for y'all -

I work for a school district in their I.T department.
I have spearheaded our deployment of iPads (700+ so far) to Students and Staff.

I've had a dozen dropped so far over the past year, breaking the glass.
I have found a reliable vendor for the digitizer glass and work has let me buy whatever tools I need to perform such a repair.

I am getting pretty decent and quick at doing the repair - got one open the other day to replace a failed LCD screen, and I did so without breaking the OEM digitizer glass.

If you have a second gen iPad (ipad2) with glass damage and you want to fix it; but were unsure how to go about doing so, I may be able to help you out.

glass and labor, you'd be looking at $100-$125 plus your cost of shipping the device to me.

I'll keep you in mind. Haven't dropped mine yet. Although I now have the iPad3. But I still have a 2 I use at work

How about Ipod's? My 11 year old shattered the screen, we ordered a new one, saw that the screws required a special screw driver, ordered the new screwdriver, somewhere along the way the screws were lost, new screws ordered, and months later; it still isn't fixed.

hmmm...never been in one of those before.
I'd prefer taking it apart myself so I know how it goes back together - but if ya send it to me, I can at least look at it; give it a whirl...
no warranty expressed or implied though

ok, thanks. My 17 year old was going to fix it, but kept dragging his feet so my wife took it into her own hands to fix. By the time I looked at it, the damage was done. I will find out if they have given up or just put it off for a while.
