Review on High-Quality Mimi Replacement Screen for Black iPad Mini: Touch Screen Digitizer, IC Chip, Home Button, and Flex Cable Assembly by Chad Myers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

After installation the screen jumped from side to side and was practically unusable

Bought as a replacement screen for a customer. The digitizer cable is already soldered on. YouTube videos suggest using tape from an old screen to cover the connections on the underside of the inside of the digitizer, which I did. After installation, the screen jumped in all directions and was almost unusable. At first I thought it was the placement of the magnets, but found that I had to apply additional tape to fully cover all of the exposed components on the bottom of the digitizer. After I did that, it worked flawlessly. I'm giving 5 stars because there are other screens with soldered cables that cost about twice as much. Just be sure to cover any exposed wires on the digitizer and it's the perfect replacement. The glue is also applied to the back of the digitizer. Just peel and stick (after making sure everything works correctly of course!). Shipped quickly with no problems.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Weak kit
