Is there anything to keep….some random person….from replacing their iPad Mini’s display assembly with a iPad Mini w/ Retina Display assembly? Would said device work? If not, what’s keeping it from working? This is an intriguing question for me, because it would save said random person $300, if they bought a display assembly from a parts website.

The answer is no The ipad mini has a5 processor Ipad mini retina a7 processor Ipad mini 1024x768 Ipad retina 2048x1536 Can you make a non hd tv into a hd tv emm no

Sure you could replace it and it would fit. But it won’t turn on.

Very doubtful the retina lcd will fit the non retina the motherboard wouldn’t allow it
