First Ipad Mini Digitizer Replaced for this Bio Medical Equipment Technician - HELP! After I replaced the digitizer to the directions provided in the IFix it Guides …. I do not have a LCD. I can see the backlight very faitly in a dark room and under the LCD. The unit will connect to iTunes. I can hear the beeps of charging. I can hear the unit take a picture. But nothing on the Display. I have disassembled and reassembled numerous times making sure i had good connections. I’m very frustrated now as I normally do not take on these types of repairs. But this was my 7 year old nephew who needed his “Aunt Bef (Beth)” to fix it. What to do next?
It sounds like the battery may have been left plugged in for the duration of the repair. This can cause the backlight coil (or fuse) to fail. Try unplugging the battery for a few minutes, and plugging it back in (with everything else staying plugged in). See if it will light up. Also try a soft reset at this point (Holding the home and lock button until it reboots). If you are still having trouble, it is most likely going to be logic board damage requiring advanced soldering skills and special equipment (the hand solders at walmart are not a good choice for this repair).
