iPad 2 LCD ribbon cable replacement (fuzzy picture or black screen)

What causes the iPad 2 LCD cable fault?

The most common problem that we see is accidental damage. A drop can cause the internal LCD cable to dislodge or break. Sometimes an impact that doesn't damage the outside of the iPad can still cause the LCD to display strange colours or just a blank picture. 

Sometimes people who have tried a home repair and not used anti-static precautions can cause damage to the back light coil on the motherboard. This would require a more specialised repair at an additional price. 

The first thing we do before any repair is test the iPad to confirm the fault. We will first test the LCD cable to make sure that is seated correctly as sometimes it can become loose and cause the LCD to behave strangely. We then proceed to swap the cable. 

We then reassemble the iPad and test all functions before sending it to out test bench where all devices are tested prior to dispatch.
