Do: Consider an iPad Screen Repair Service
Some of you out there are looking for a professional to take this burden off your hands and repair your cracked screen properly. This is the exact approach you should be taking.
Now the question becomes, which one should you hire? How can you ensure that you’re hiring the right iPad repair service? There are a few factors to consider.
First, be sure to consider the iPad screen repair cost. You’ll want to know all your options there, some are better than others.
Second, take the time to read up on online reviews. Let the comments of their previous clients tell you whether or not you should hire them for your needs.
Third, ask about the turnaround time. Understandably, you need your iPad back quickly, so a repair service should be able to accommodate that.
Last, be sure to ask about their warranty. Do they back up their services to guarantee you quality or try to cover their own behinds by not offering one?
Don’t: Do It Yourself
We get it. Searching for a cracked iPad screen repair service isn’t something that you asked for. Cracked screens are a nuisance and an added weight to your day.
There are some out there that convince themselves if they DIY the repair, they can save some money along the way. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Turning this into a DIY project can result in you dropping hundreds of dollars, then still not reach desirable results. It’s the ultimate time-waster as well.
Cracked iPad screen repair is a bit more elaborate than most people anticipate. It requires you to get the glass off the touchscreen, then gluing the new glass piece onto the touchscreen without damaging it.
Professional repair services have come up with reasonable rates that fit in all of the costs, such as the digitizer, LCD screen, and so forth.
Do: Ask for a Warranty
We touched on this briefly at the end of the last “do”, but it bears worth repeating: you should never hire a repair service that doesn’t offer a warranty.
More importantly, you shouldn’t be investing in a repair service that offers warranties you don’t understand. Services with lesser integrity will try to get you in the fine print.
Instead, take the time to ask about the warranty they offer, here are some questions you could ask:
- How long does the warranty last?
- How can I redeem the warranty, if needed?
- Does the warranty cover all cracked iPad screens, regardless of severity?
- What all services does the warranty cover?
- Are there any extra charges to redeem the warranty?
- What would void this warranty?
- Does this warranty have to be redeemed at a certain time or location?
Don’t: Have Apple Fix It
We know, we know. They created the iPad, shouldn’t they be able to fix it? They certainly have the ability to, but remember, they’re in the sales business. Everything they do revolves around sales.
For example, Apple could charge you anywhere from $200 to $600 to fix your iPad’s screen. You’ll find that third-party repair companies cost way less for the same level of service.
Not to mention that most of them will try to talk you into buying a new iPad instead of paying to replace the current one (hence the high repair prices).
If you paid for AppleCare on your iPad, then it will cover two accidental damages to the device for only $49 all-in. But here’s the catch: it only lasts for two years. Invest in AppleCare, but once it’s up or it doesn’t apply to your situation, look for third-party repair service.
Do: Take It to Professional Repair Right Away
The worst thing you can do for a cracked screen (whether it’s iPhone, iPad, etc.) is wait to get it fixed. Many people continue to use their devices without fixing them.
First, that can be a health hazard for you and all others that use your iPad. the grass may cause cuts or infections.
Second, the cracks in the screen can collect, dirt, dust, and other buildups that sink into the surface and affect the LCD screen.
If the screen is absolutely shattered, then you shouldn’t use the iPad until it’s fixed. This is another reason why a professional repair is necessary: they have the right equipment to protect themselves while they dispose of the shattered glass.
When reaching out to a professional service, make sure to ask where they get their replacement parts as well.
