Review on 📱 Zentop White iPad 5 2017 9.7 inch Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly Replacement with Home Button—Camera Bracket—Adhesive—Tool Repair Kit by John Pound

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Next to the hole in the front camera there was a defect, it broke in less than a minute after installation.

I replaced a cracked digitizer screen on my iPad 5th gen with this replacement. I put everything back together, turned on the iPad and I can swipe normally which was a good sign. However, I then noticed a bubble-like shadow next to the anterior chamber, and I pushed into that area while jumping to push it out. The screen shattered just below him. That's less than a minute after installation. I took a magnifying glass and examined this area and I saw a round flaw under the glass that was recessed and caused the glass to break when I pressed on it (see photos). Judging by the fact that the defect is under the glass, it should be from the factory. My iPad was working fine when the original screen broke and now I replaced it with this thing and I ended up with another broken screen. $$$ wasted. Now I don't want to return it as at least it works but what a shame. Also, the pre-installed tape around the edges isn't strong enough to hold the screen. I need to find other ways to fix this as well. Now I don't want to return it as at least it works but what a shame.
