Dead iPad Gen I LCD - anyone every replaced one of those, and from whome did you buy it ? - cbelt3 - 08-19-2013
Daughter's hand me down iPad Gen I (16G Wifi) has a "Dead LCD" display. Weird screen artifact in the center... a photo sent to an iPad repair joint referenced on the phorum says that's the cause.
Lots of 'generic chinese' LCD screens on FleaBay, but... I hesitate to drop even $50 on something that might or might not work. The Chicago repair shop wants a reasonable $149 plus shipping to fix it, and Apple of course wants more than the dang thing is worth (Flat $249).
Has anyone here done a swap, and from whom was the screen purchased ?
TIA !

There are US based sellers for a few bucks more. In the $60 range with warranty.
Do you know if the digitizer is working?
I would try it myself, only if I knew the only problem what the LCD display and nothing else.
