iPad 2 Parts and iPad 2 Repair
March 2nd, 2011
When the iPad 2 was released on March 11th, we were there. We were one of the first companies to teardown the iPad 2 and begin offering replacement parts and repair service.
Our iPad 2 Parts store has all of the internal components needed for self repair. We’ll be carrying all of the parts for the Wi-Fi and 3G models. ( Model #s A1395)
For those not up to self repair, we have a Send-In service for iPad 2 Service. The cost for the service is $30 labor + part cost.
Here is the final result of our iPad 2 Take Apart done on March 11th.
====== ORIGINAL POST =====
Within minutes of the new iPad 2 being announced, we began fielding several calls on whether we’ll repair them and if we’ll be carrying iPad 2 parts when they come out. It’s understandable for our resellers to be asking, but why are individuals already anticipating breaking their new iPads?
It’s assumed the device will be just as serviceable as the original iPad. If that’s the case, we’d assume the same components will be replaceable for the iPad 2 as for the original iPad. Several leaked images prior to the release, specifically of glass digitizers, also show that this will likely be the case. Likely the most popular replacement will be the iPad 2 Glass digitizer panel, as that is the most popular repair on the iPad, second to the LCD, battery, and casing in that order.
So to answer the question, yes we will offer iPad 2 parts and iPad repair, likely from the first day they hit the streets. And yes, we’ll have our usual take apart of the device and will be posting the video shortly after the launch, so keep an eye on the site for that.

April 7th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
They’ll be in tomorrow. The price is $99.95.
April 15th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Hello,
I fractured the glass in the top left corner. Is the glass-front available as a part? How expensive is it? Are there instructions on how to replace it?
Thank you!
April 18th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
The glass is $129.95. There is a teardown video on our website. We are in the process of creating the formal repair video however.
April 21st, 2011 at 7:35 pm
How expensive is the glass for iPad 2, April 7th it was 99.95, April 18th it’s 129.95?
Thanks
April 22nd, 2011 at 9:20 am
Our current price is $129.95. Availability on these is currently extremely constrained.

Hi, i need a case ( the back part ) cause i broke it two weeks ago. I have the 3g model. How much it is?
July 1st, 2011 at 8:32 pm
We should have the 3G back cases in 1-2 weeks times. Right now we only carry Wi-Fi ones in very limited supply.
September 16th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
My front screen and back cover need replacement due to a small drop that happen today, i just want to know an estimated price?
September 16th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
also ipad 2
September 16th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
The glass is $99.95, the back case is $99.95. Labor if you sent it to us would be $45.00. So, if we performed the repair, the total cost would be $244.90.

Hi,
I dropped and broke my glass on my ipad 2 but it still works.
I have an appointment to see an Apple genius tomorrow to find a solution and I assume will cost heavily.
Can you tell me the benefit of sending my ipad 2 to you versus Apple store, thanks?

The cost will likely be significantly less unless you can get a warranty replacement.
January 16th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Hi, I called in today and ask for screen and back case repair. I just stripped on the black ice yesterday and hit my ipad 2 against the ground
It has cracked from the bottom left toward the middle of the screen and the guy said you don’t fix back case. But how come I see it on here on the website? So do you guys don’t do back case anymore?
January 16th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
@Annie – Changing out the back case by itself is extremely time consuming and difficult without damaging other components. For this reason, we do not offer this as a repair option at this time.
January 23rd, 2012 at 6:45 pm
I need a switch and volume control flex for the ipad2 but I live in the UK. Would you be able to ship abroad and if so how long would it take and what would it cost. Also, do you have the part in stock for immediate dispatch if possible?
January 24th, 2012 at 10:27 am
We do ship internationally. You can see all of the shipping options and delivery times when you checkout from our online store.
January 27th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
I too had a moment of weakness and dropped my IPAD 2 thus cracking the heck out of my screen. The back and everything else seems to be fine though. Touch still works, but I am afraid of the shards doing damage so obviously I can’t use it.
My question is, can you reuse my back case so I don’t have to pay 99.95 for a new one? And are you willing to take payments for the repair/service? (college student needs to be fiscally responsible)
Thanks
January 29th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
i cant open my ipad because the touch screen is not working. it just stopped working without any reason. i did not drop it nor hit it, it just stopped working… is there a reset button? thanks much
January 30th, 2012 at 11:03 am
@dave – If the digitizer isn’t working, it will likely need to be replaced. Give us a call at 1-866-726-3342, option 2.

Hi, I dropped my iPad and dinted the back cover on the corner which has then lifted my screen off a bit. I was wondering if that could be repaired.
Erin
March 6th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
@ Erin – It can be repaired. However, the repair is extremely difficult and you risk damaging many other components such as the glass digitizer and battery in the process. For this reason, we won’t replace the back case at our facility.
March 7th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
hi, i dropped my ipad and damaged one of the corners which pushed rubber gasket slightly out. can i buy just this gasket and replace it or do i need to buy whole middle frame?
March 9th, 2012 at 9:33 am
@ Luke -The rubber trim is available from our online store.
March 24th, 2012 at 8:46 am
i dropped my ipad 2, and the right up corner got damaged, my sleep and wake button got smashed, and i’m looking for the replacement part, the rear housing in this case.
April 20th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
is it possible for me to send in my ipad 2. my ipad was is a fire and survived. i turned on for 1hr and then it shut off and never turn on. im not sure if some piece work but the need to be tested. i took it apart and it would be easier to say wat i didnt throw away. i kept the glass digitizer, screen, motherboard, and back metal piece but, as i said im unsure if the digitizer or the screen are working. im wondering if it possible if i sent it in and got all new parts installed.
April 23rd, 2012 at 11:02 am
@ David – Yes, just give us a call at 1-866-726-3342, option 2 and we’ll let you know what will likely be involved cost wise and give you the specifics on sending it in.
May 6th, 2012 at 2:58 pm

Give us a call at 1-866-726-3342, option 2. One of our repair technicians can give you a quote over the phone. The cost will depend on whether or not just the glass is broken, or if both the glass and lcd are broken.
May 22nd, 2012 at 6:43 pm
I dropped my ipad 2 wifi version. The lower left corner of my ipad is damaged. Do you carry any spare rear housing, and may I know how much it cost? I dont feel comfortable to ship it out for repair, may i know do i have any option to fix the problem
May 23rd, 2012 at 1:16 pm
We’re temporarily out of stock of iPad 2 back cases. They sell out very quickly once we do have them available.
June 29th, 2012 at 12:42 am
My sons iPad 2 screen is cracked and we tried replacing it and also accidentally tore the power switch cord .. Trying to find out how much it is for replacement of screen digitizer and power switch cable??
June 29th, 2012 at 8:57 am
@ Irene – You have to replace the digitizer to replace the digitizer cable. It would likely be best to give us a call and describe your issue so we can let you know exactly what you’ll need. Our number is 1-866-726-3342, option 1.
July 26th, 2012 at 4:58 am
Hello, I have dropped my iPad and the volume button got stuck, so i cannot use it and there is always a picture of volume regulation sign on the screen, is there any way to get it back to normal?
July 27th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Give our repair department a call at 1-866-726-3342, option 2. They’ll be able to get the issue resolved for you.

When changing out a wifi cable I damaged the ribbon connector at the end of the logic control board. I guess this is to do with mobile communication. I there someway of replacing this soft ribbon connector?
September 24th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
@David – You can sometimes repair the connector, but usually it will require replacing the board.
October 15th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
I replaced the digitizer, replaced the wifi flex cable now the blue tooth and wifi do not work. Could it be the WIRELESS CARD MAIN PCB BOARD PART WIFI BLUETOOTH CHIP for IPAD 2
December 10th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
i was replacing the screen on an ipad 2 and as i was trying to detach the digitizer the latch broke do i have to replace the hole part? and how much will it be
December 11th, 2012 at 11:23 am
@ dahianna – Depending how badly it broken, it can sometimes be repaired. If it can not you’d have to replace the logic board to fix the issue.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:42 am
My son accidentally dropped the iPad 2. Fortunately, there is no physical damage but there is internal damage i.e. LCD screen is no longer bright. Everything is still working as you will still be able to see images on the screen when very bright light is shine directly on the screen. Suspect it is the LCD that need replacement and I’m thinking of repairing it myself. However, I will need some expert advise on what would be the items needed to do the repair myself for this case.
January 14th, 2013 at 8:15 am
@ Rachel – It likely is the LCD. The problem however is that there is a high probability that in changing out the LCD the digitizer will crack as well.
January 15th, 2013 at 8:27 pm
my ipad2 16gb dropped but no damage to glass. Yet after a day the screen went completely black i can only see the back-light when i press the home,or sleep/wake button. What part do I need?
January 16th, 2013 at 11:17 am
@ Brad – You likely need the LCD. The problem however is that you may damage the glass as it has to be removed in order to change the LCD. So, you may need the LCD and the glass digitizer.
January 31st, 2013 at 2:10 pm
