iPad 2 screen replacement

[Nomad.2nd]

Well, looks like I need it.

(was hurting, went to sit down, tried to set the iPad down, and it ended up getting set down on the floor rather than the arm of the chair.)

Don't want to spend the $250 with apple, seems at that point I might as well buy another, but I hate to buy another when this just needs glass.

Anywhere local to baton rouge, or should I just go with this RadioShack 72 hour mail in fix?

I fixed mine with a kit we got off amazon for like $30-40. Not hard and took about an hour being careful

I have replaced the screen in my wife's twice now. eBay around $20, takes maybe an hour. YouTube video makes it easy.

Just watched a DIY vid on youtube...seems relatively easy...If you are in to that type of thing. Next time we break a screen(and it will happen sooner or later) I'll replace it myself.

Go to Cheap iPhone repair in Denham Springs, look them up on Facebook they are in Denham Springs across from the Pilot Truck Stop, if you tell them you heard about them on Facebook then I think they give you a discount, they do good work and I think have about a day turn around

If you have some abilities and patience you can do it for under $25. Here's a video link (intentionally not embedded here).

This tool is very useful. I found no real need for the "spudger". $7
