So my brother and I were changing a cracked screen on the iPad Pro last night and everything was going smooth. We were following the steps and when we plugged ribbon cables in we forgot to put the plastic tool in separating the battery. There was a tiny tiny spark and so we figured the worst which was correct. We assembled everything back together and behold the touch screen didn’t work. The iPad powers up and the screen will turn on but you can’t do anything. My question is, is there a component that I can purchase to replace whatever we fried to get the touch screen working or did we just ruin this iPad beyond repair. I purchased it from a friend for 150 dollars because it had a cracked screen. The I purchased the new screen for 200 dollars. So I’m 350 dollars invested. Just trying to figure if it’s salvagable or I’m out on my money.
Wow, I am very surprised that it even boots up after your circumstance. Unfortunately there is not much you can do. I would be 110% sure everything is connected tightly, but if that is the case already you might be kinda screwed. You likely fried a component on your iPad’s Logic Board. Replacing said component would require microsoldering and microsoldering is not for beginners by any means. A new Logic Board is near $220 and would probably out of your budget to get a new one. Bummer!
I fixed my problem (iPad Pro 11)! Goto Setting -> General -> Accessibility -> Touch Accommodations, Turn on Touch Accommodations. Leave everything else in the options alone. All my touch issues gone!
