Review on Replacement LCD Compatible With IPad Mini 4 Model A1538 A1550 LCD Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly(Black) by Leo Fairchild

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointed it didn't work.

I was really hoping that most if not all of the negative reviews would come from people who just don't know what they're doing. I have successfully repaired 1 iPad screen and 1 iPhone screen in the past so I did not shy away from making sure I had the correct model (Mini 4 A1538) and ordered this part It packs satisfactorily and apart from an odd amount of air bubbles under the protective film, the device also looks ok.I'm a computer nerd and I'm very sensitive to electronics.I wore an anti-static wrist strap (though unnecessarily) and was extra careful not to damage the pins or to bend the wire ties.Installation was easy (even without instructions) and I was confident it would work.The iPad in question was several months old inactive, so I assumed the battery was low. After the installation was complete, I plugged in the iPad and impatiently waited for the low battery icon to appear. But nothing. I heard a beep signaling that the iPad had power, so I waited a bit. After about an hour of hoping for something — flash, flash, flicker — I finally admitted the device was defective. I brought the iPad back to the desktop and checked all my tabs and ports again and again the screen didn't work. I was also able to verify that the iPad was actually working by connecting it to my computer and viewing its contents in iTunes. (I also made a backup) I plan to contact the seller and see what can be done.
