So, I have an ipad mini. I've had it for six months and it was working fine twelve hours ago. I fell asleep, and when I woke up and tried to turn it on, it didn't. It was plugged in all night because it was on 4% the last time I saw it was working.

I tried replugging it, it didn't work.

I tried using the iphone 5 cord, it didn't work.

I tried pressing the home button and the power button simutaneously, it was still unresponsive.

I tried plugging it into my computer and trying to restore it.. but there's another problem. It won't sync to my computer, so itunes isn't able to read it at all.

Yes, I tried reinstalling itunes and it still remained unresponsive.

Any idea how it can be fixed? If at all?

Thanks,

Shiori

I connected everything and tested, and it was successful except for the home button. I disconnected the digitizer flex and the screen flex and the battery also. I wanted to test again and connected everything. I tried to turn on the Mini, but only had sound and no screen. The screen stays black.

iTunes recognises the Ipad Mini, and I did a DFU in hopes that it would work, but no success. NO SCREEN.

What can I do? iTunes says the battery is 100% charged.

I run a small repair shop, and im encountering this problem. This issue has been constant on several iPad Minis we had tried to replace the touchscreen.

Even we support ourselves on different repair shops when something is acting fishy. And they also some times rely on us when an issue they can solve.

The issue is that after replacing the touchscreen, the iPad mini will become unresponsive and will boot on the Apple Logo Screen, then the Screen will dim and become unresponsive.

We had tried a variety of touchscreens and with different suppliers. And issue persists.

We had been soldering the iPad mini touch board to the new Touchscreens, but with no luck. Only the home button works.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to solve it?

Thanks for your help!

If you hold the button down the device will power on or off like normal. Just the sleep function doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I'm a newly started technician and I absolutely hate ipads. I always end up with problems from them!

Anyways, I replaced the broken digitizer with a new one and every thing seemed great. When I went to test that everything was working (I haven't removed the strips over the tape and actually mounted the digitizer) it started up fine.

However, when I get to the lock(unlock) bar I couldn't continue. The touch isn't working.

Home button works fine, if I put the Ipad to sleep I can wake it up with the home button.

/EDIT: I just tried with another digitizer, same problem. Home button works, touch does not.

Is the spacing between the golden 'prongs'(what is the correct technical term for them?) supposed to be there?

But after putting the digitizer back on, the home button does not work, or to be more accurate, it always thinks it's pressed.

We tested the home button prior to putting the digitizer back on and it was working. For some reason the iPad thinks the home button is always depressed (if you press the power button, it takes a snapshot).

Any ideas?

What i did wrong?

I hope someone can help me.

Ok i don't use replacement digitizers that are not pre soldered i think i need to hone my soldering skills before i go anywhere near that.

I always use screens with all the soldering pre done.

I'm asking as this is my last screen & this is is special present for a birthday otherwise i would just put another screen on.

I have fitted the digitizer & it all works fine until i seat the screen onto the adhesive.

Once this happens it works fine for a couple of minutes but then the screen starts to activate itself swiping through screens opening apps & typing into any text field that appears that sort of thing.

Ive also noticed the top half of the screen then becomes unresponsive also.

But as soon as i lift the screen up again it all starts to work fine.

I have a horrible feeling that where the digitizer cable is supposed to bend itself back it has kinked a bit.

I do always with any repair make sure not to trap or crease any cables this must have sprung back as i was seating the screen.

This cable has not creased badly as i hadn't started to press down fully.

Is this the issue or cold there be a way to get this solved.

Thank you in advance guys.
