Service Details
iPad 3 LCD Screen Replacement Service – Expert Display & Backlight Repair
Display failure, backlight issues, or vertical lines on your iPad 3? Our specialised LCD screen replacement service restores your device’s display quality using high-quality replacement LCD panels and professional repair techniques.
What We Fix with LCD Screen Replacement:
- No display / black screen (backlight failure)
- Vertical or horizontal lines on screen
- Display flickering or ghosting
- Screen discoloration or spots
- Dim display / backlight too weak
- LCD bleeding or uneven brightness
- Complete LCD panel failure
Important: LCD Screen vs Front Glass: Your iPad 3 has a separate LCD display panel and front glass (touch digitizer). This service replaces only the LCD display panel. If your front glass is cracked or touch doesn’t work, you need our Front Glass Repair service instead. If both are damaged, we can replace both components together at a discounted rate.
Same-Day Service Available: LCD screen replacements can typically be completed in 2-3 hours when parts are available. Contact us to check LCD panel availability for your specific model.
Professional Installation Process: LCD replacement on iPad 3 requires careful disassembly to access the display panel beneath the front glass. We use precision heating and specialised tools to safely remove the front glass, replace the LCD panel, and reassemble the device with fresh adhesive for proper bonding.
Frame Condition Matters: iPad 3’s aluminium frame often sustains damage during drops. Bent frames can put pressure on the LCD panel, causing display issues or future damage. We inspect and precision-align damaged frames using specialised tools – ensuring your new LCD sits properly and functions correctly long-term.
Quality LCD Panels: We use high-quality replacement LCD panels that match the original specifications for brightness, colour accuracy, and resolution. Each panel undergoes quality control for dead pixels, backlight uniformity, and display performance before installation.
Front Glass Preservation: We take extreme care to preserve your existing front glass during LCD replacement. However, if your front glass is already weakened or damaged, there’s a risk it may crack during removal. We’ll inspect your glass condition before starting and inform you of any risks.
Comprehensive Post-Repair Testing: We verify display brightness and backlight uniformity, colour accuracy and image quality, no dead pixels or lines, touch functionality (confirming we haven’t damaged the digitizer), and overall device functionality including cameras and speakers.
Additional Services During Repair: With your iPad 3 already disassembled for LCD replacement, consider these additional services at reduced labour cost:
- Battery replacement – restore power performance while device is open
- Front glass replacement – if your glass is also cracked, we can replace both components together
- Deep cleaning – remove dust and debris from inside the device
These services cost less when performed during LCD repair since the device is already disassembled.
Important: Additional Damage Disclosure
If your iPad 3 has any additional damage beyond the LCD display issue, please mention it when booking your repair:
- Existing front glass damage (cracks, touch issues)
- Bent or damaged frame requiring straightening
- Broken back camera lens
- Liquid damage or exposure to moisture
- Any other visible damage to the device
If we discover liquid damage and corrosion during repair, liquid damage cleaning may be required at additional cost. Bent frames may also require professional straightening at additional cost. We’ll always inform you and get your approval before proceeding with any additional work. If you choose not to proceed with the repair due to additional damage or costs, a standard diagnostic service fee will apply.
6-12 Month Warranty: All iPad 3 LCD screen replacements include a comprehensive 6-12 month warranty (depending on supplier warranty on parts) covering both replacement parts and installation workmanship. Your repair is protected for a full year.
What to Expect: Your iPad 3 will have a fully functional LCD display with proper brightness, accurate colours, and no dead pixels or lines. Your touch functionality remains unchanged – we only replace the LCD panel.
Common Questions:
- How long does the repair take? LCD replacement typically takes 2-3 hours when parts are available. Same-day service possible with LCD panels in stock.
- Will my data be safe? LCD replacement doesn’t affect your software or storage. However, we cannot guarantee data safety during hardware repairs. Always backup important files before any repair.
- What if my front glass breaks during LCD replacement? If your front glass is already weakened, there’s a small risk it may crack during removal. We’ll inspect condition before starting and inform you. If it breaks, we can replace both components.
- Do you offer collection service? Yes, we offer nationwide courier service if you can’t visit our London locations.
- Do you need access to my device for testing? To properly test your iPad after repair, we need to boot into the operating system to verify display quality. We can use a guest account if available, or you can provide a password. If you prefer not to provide access, we can only perform basic power-on testing – but full display testing is recommended.
Diagnostics Available: Not sure if you need LCD replacement or front glass repair? Bring your iPad 3 in for diagnostics. Sometimes display problems stem from software issues, loose connections, or graphics driver faults that don’t require LCD replacement at all. We’ll always give you an honest assessment before proceeding with any repair.
