iPad Mini repair questions

How do I know whether I need front glass or LCD repair?

Choose front glass repair if the glass or touch layer is damaged but the picture is clear. Choose LCD repair if the image has lines, blotches, flickering or no display. If both are damaged, choose the full screen assembly.

Will Touch ID still work after an iPad repair?

Touch ID depends on the original paired home button. We take care to retain it where possible, but a physically damaged home button may limit what can be restored.

Do I need to erase my iPad before repair?

No. Standard hardware repairs do not normally require your data to be erased, though we always recommend keeping a backup before any repair.

Can I post my iPad from anywhere in the UK?

Yes. Book online, pack the iPad securely and send it to SimplyFixIt. We repair and test it, then return it using insured delivery.

What happens if the frame is bent?

A bent frame can stop a new screen or digitiser sitting correctly. We will assess this before repair and contact you if it changes the repair route.

The iPad Mini (branded and marketed as iPad mini) is a line of mini tablet computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It is a sub-series of the iPad line of tablets, with screen sizes of 7.9 inches and 8.3 inches. The first-generation iPad Mini was announced on October 23, 2012, and was released on November 2, 2012, in nearly all of Apple's markets. It featured similar internal specifications to the iPad 2, including its display resolution.
