Is it possible to only replace the glass and not the digitalizer?

[RepairsUniverse]

@santibanez619 Basically the glass and digitizer are fused together. The digitizer is the ciruitry and sensors that detects touch. The "glass touch screen digitizer" is the part you will need to replace a cracked outer screen. These are available at RepairsUniverse (dot) com.

no backlight after putting back LCD what i can do?

@samdukalis Display is working correctly though? Could be a few things, but I would first double check the LCD connection.

@RepairsUniverse all conections is good

it was on whe i unplugged the LCD i couldnt turn it off cuz digitizer was broken

than put the LCd back and no backlight and on/off button stop working somehow

[RepairsUniverse]

@samdukalis That is odd. Possible the LCD screen was damaged or the LCD flex cable was ripped or damaged? As for the power button, this is normally caused by a ripped flex button flex cable. The cable is extremely skinny and can be ripped very easily. I would check this out at the same time.

@bigbadbenable No problem at all. The plastic will be part of the iPad (aluminium side). The touch screen comes out as only the touch screen, nothing else really attached to it (besides adhesive).

The iPad 2 is pretty simply. If you are familiar with Apple, then this should not be too difficult for you. Just take it slow and be patient. Good luck!

@RepairsUniverse Great, thanks! Also, there is a white plastic surround between the glass and the aluminium on the iPad 2, is this part of the glass/digitiser or the aluminium (it is visible on the outside). I have repaired many iPhones, but I have never done an iPad, so I want to get it right first time, thanks! :)

@bigbadbenable It may be possible to remove with only heat and suction, assuming the you are using a high grade suction cup. Normally prying is required however. Safe open pry tools are great for this as they are softer plastic than the bezel, making damage highly unlikely. The LCD screen is very fragile once fully exposed. Take special care with it.

As for the adhesive, it will normally stick to both. Very difficult to get it all to come up as a full strip. Heat would be key for this.

A few questions about replacing the glass and digitiser on the iPad 2: is it possible to get the glass off using just a heat gun and a suction cup? I don't want to use any pry tools I'm case I damage the bezel or any components. How fragile is the LCD once you have it open, will it easily crack ect? The glass is bonded to the iPad with 3m adhesive, when you remove the glass, does this stick to the glass, or the iPad? Ie, will I have to remove any adhesive from the inside of the iPad before I fi
