- for Black iPad 5 2017 9.7 inch （A1822, A1823） Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly Replacement with Home Button, Camera Bracket, Pre-Installed Adhesive, Tool Repair Kit

This was my first time replacing a screen on an iPad--the screen digitizer arrived with protective stiff plastic on both sides. The procedure to replace the glass was very simple and the tools that comes with the product makes it much easier to perform. There are no instructions as I believe they assume you know what you are doing--watch YouTube videos, not at all difficult to perform the repalcement. Overall, I was very pleased with the end result. One note, the Touch ID sensor on the Home Button will not work (no matter what supplier you buy from). If you care about the Touch ID, you will have to reuse the original. I opted not to go through the hassel as I don't use the Touch ID just the PIN function. That is not to say the Home Button won't work because it does, only the Touch ID part will not work. After replacing, the iPad looks new and functions nicely.

I have never done any repairs to ANY digital equipment in my life so this was a life saver. Our options were to get rid of our 2015 ipad or attempt repair since Apple's cost to repair was ridiculously expensive. Frankly, the original ipad screen is difficult to remove and saving the original fingerprint button is difficult, so I was very happy that this product came with its own button already in place and works great [but does not recognize the fingerprint]. I don't need this feature and hence happy with the purchase since most apps have already gone to face ID, I think this feature is not needed. The screen has good adhesive and I did not need to add more tape or adhesive. Glass is of good quality and touch screen works great. The only difficult part is taking the original ipad screen off. Do see a few youtube videos to see the installation steps since it will help you a lot. Wear eye protection and gloves to avoid any injuries during original glass removal. This product helped me save a lot of money than giving it for repairs to apple or repair shop. We have used it for about a month now and everything working great.

I watched a YouTube video step by step and was able to do it. I will say the screen didn’t lay completely flat in one corner. the video i watched suggested to use additional double sided tape but I didn’t have any. With a enclosed iPad case the screen is secured

Dropped my ipad 5th generation 128gb ($299 from costco) on the power button edge, screen cracked and power button seized up. Initially ordered another touch screen digitizer that cracked right out of the box. This one was awesome. By the way, i consider myself a excellent diy person, but never messed with an iPad or similar electronic. This product was great righ out of the box( regret not making a video), the Phillips screwdriver was the right size and magnetic. The touchscreen had pre-glued on strips. Disposable wipes were ok, but i had to use a microfiber cloth to clean the lcd screen before final installation. The home button doesn't support fingerprint, so i warmed up the bracket holding the preinstalled one on, removed it, and slipped it my old one. Overall I found everything to be just what's needed. I had to remove power button, sand it down a little, scraped off glue from inside edges where old touchscreen was, followed YouTube videos. For $24, I saved $250 what apple was asking for touchscreen ( not to mention the power button problem)

See latest edit at bottom for details on 1 star rating. 1st installation Initially... this seemed to be a mostly viable affordable solution despite visible imperfections and 'wavy-ness' in the screen. With close attention to instructional videos I found online I completed the repair in a relatively straightforward and anal-retentive manner that took me about 3.5 hours. Everything seemed to go according to plan. However when I was completely done I noticed the glue along the right side edge of the screen did not fully adhere and there is discernable movement when I press on that edge despite ensuring I had cleaned away any old glue and made sure the screen fit in properly before exposing the adhesives and fixing it into place. I attempted to apply consistent, even pressure overnight with some books and a heavy stapler to keep the screen edge in contact overnight but it didn't solve the problem For the moment everything functions as needed but that movement along the right edge of the screen has me worried it will eventually work it's easy loose and I'll have to install another screen (a process I'm not anxious to repeat). I will update my review as things progress. Honestly, if it doesn't get any worse and continues to function properly for another few months, I'll add another star. Edit: I added an additional star since, upon hearing my concerns, the company sent me a replacement. I have not yet installed the newer one mostly due to a lack of time. However, while there is an area (near the button cable junction) that remains loose, it has not gotten worse. Another problem I have had which I cannot necessarily attribute to the replacement screen is that my iPad now seems excessively sensitive to case cover magnets which tell it when the cover is closed/opened (on multiple models). Edit: I removed 3 stars after the 1st screen began reporting phantom touches all the time making the iPad unusable. The replacement screen's glue was worse than than the first, the camera cutout is in the wrong place and entire screen keeps moving around and trying falling out while FaceTimeing. And the ghost touch problem returned. I'm going to try a different brand.

I'm happy with this. It was a good replacement for my A1822 iPad. I had to remove the home button that was installed on this one and put my original home button on it since mine has touch id but it wasn't bad. Good price. the hardest part for me was removing the old adhesive, other than that it wasn't hard to install.

Although complex, it was easy to install as long as you read and understand the instructions. Took me about 45 minutes to install. Turned out great and with no spotty glitches like many of the reviewers claimed .

I would have it a 5 star because after I installed it it worked great then next day glue was coming undone and starting getting ghost movement on screen . Maybe it was defective one but for now it’s a 3 star .
