Even though we all know that
these devices are far from indestructible, there are probably thousands of
iPhones, iPods, and iPads dropped and shattered each and every day. I get
calls, emails, and text messages several times per week from distraught iDevice
owners who have dropped their gadgets, run over them with cars, or given them a
slam dunk in the toilet, and they want to know what to do. In this article,
I’ll give you some good idea in terms of cracked iPod Touch LCD screen and
malfunctioned devices. Here are some guides may help you.
The iPod Touch is repairable. I've done a few
dozen, and I can give you this advice first and foremost: If you own a 2nd or
3rd generation iPod Touch, chunk it in the trash. If you have a 4th or 5th
generation iPod Touch, it is probably worth fixing to a large extent. The iPod
Touch 4th generation device is fairly durable, but dropping it in the right way
will shatter the display. Like the iPhone 4/S, the LCD and digitizer screen are
glued together. You can order replacements separately, but you can't pull them
apart unless you have an expensive chemical separation kit.
Removing the old screen requires heating it
up with a heat gun to soften the glue and pry it out, because it's not secured
by screws. Getting the old screen unplugged from the motherboard is also a
daunting task, and so is plugging in the replacement. When gluing and setting
in the new screen, you can destroy the LCD panel if you put even the slightest
pressure on the wrong part. It's seriously sensitive. Only seasoned veterans or
trained techs should even try this. Replacing the battery on an iPod Touch 4th
or 5th generation device is doable. It will cost as much labor as a screen
replacement, because you have to gut the device to get to the battery. Same
holds true for the dock connector if you have damaged it.
With the iPod Touch, you have much less of a
chance of damaging the Wi-Fi antenna because it is a ribbon cable that is
soldered into the motherboard. But if you accidentally tear it off during the
repair, count on adding more frustrating time to fix this. The replacement is
not easy. Lastly, watch out for rookie repair artists who snatch out the
mainboard metal cover and rip out the volume control ribbons, and the tiny
connector wires to the speaker. There's a ton of glue underneath the metal
cover, and everything gets stuck to it. If you don't know what you are doing,
you can easily rip these out and cause yourself needless frustration in trying
to piece the wires or ribbons back together.
The one good thing about fragile breakable
Apple devices is that the repair parts can be bought for reasonable prices. The
older the device, the cheaper the repair parts will be. If you buy your device
brand new and break it within the first few months, expect to be gigged when
you order repair parts. This all boils down to one thing: Be extremely careful
if you're buying a new device, and put it in a good case. Don't opt for the
cheap rubber-only cases. They may keep your device looking good, but they won't
guard against a drop to concrete or a hard surface.
If you want to order replacement parts on
your own, you can get them on eBay and Amazon. Don't worry about trying to find
suppliers by doing a Google search. All of the reputable suppliers are going to
be listed on one or both of these sites. Check out the reviews and then compare
the cost-efficient stores for your iPod touch LCD display screen. I bet you will find the
best prices on the device you prefer. Here I recommend a trustworthy
third-party retailer to you on cellphoeage.com. All the LCD screen is tested
before dispatching. We offer the original LCD display touch screen assembly.
Here is a kind notice: our repair parts included the LCD screen, glass touch
screen with digitizer. Absolutely, if you are technician, a set of DIY tool is
convenient to you.
