Ipad screen repairs
Has anyone replaced an ipad2 screen themselves? I see screens on Trademe for $79 and understand it's doable. However I'm not prepared to venture into the unknown quite yet. Failing that - a reliable and reasonable repairer in Dunedin or nearby. Have a quote for $280.

DH and I have replaced a cracked iPod touch screen with the help of a YouTube video recommended by the seller on TradeMe who sold us the replacement screen. It worked though it was very (!!!) fiddly. However, we never got it to seal properly again. I would not do it again, rather pay someone else to do it.

Susan,
My rule of thumb when deciding on a DIY or paid repair is, think of the worse case scenario - ie you brick the device - if you can take the hit, then worth the risk, if you can't- dont try it.
If the device isn't your own personal device - then I wouldn't attempt a first time DIY fix it job. Would only attempt to fix someone elses device if I was more than confident that I knew what I was doing and the was a good chance of a good repair.
So best option maybe to get a qualilfied technician to repair it.
