Review on Touch Screen Digitizer IPad Generation by Brian Samuel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

My A2197 may have broken

Due to all the negative reviews I was hesitant to order this but it was the only home button screen that was delivered overnight and I had to have yours Get iPad A2197. To work. I'm happy to report that this screen is holding up well after three days of repairs and heavy use by my Roblox playing son. At first there were a few problems, such as E.g. slow loading or parts of the screen not responding but after I restarted the iPad it all went away. The loading issue was probably my fault - use a pickaxe or wait for the tools to pry open the old screen. Also, don't worry about text-only instructions, there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube. Currently rated 4 stars, I will update the rating if I run into any issues over the next few weeks. EDIT: I ended up taking it in for repair because the charging issues were getting worse. It turned out that one of the contacts on the new screen had bent a chip on the motherboard and the charging problems were caused by a short circuit. I should note that the shorter plug fitted without issue, but the longer one was tricky to fit. Could be user error, could be the bad part. Downgraded to 3 stars. The repair fee would only cost me $150 and I ended up having to buy a new one.
