No picture, backlight issues, lines on screen or blank display on your iPad Air 1 (1st Generation, model A1474/A1475/A1476, released November 2013)? Our specialised LCD screen replacement service fixes display failures using high-quality replacement parts and professional repair techniques.

Important: LCD vs Front Glass
This service replaces the LCD display panel only – your front glass remains intact. If you also have cracked glass or touch problems, you’ll need additional front glass repair service. We can assess this during diagnostics.
Do You Need LCD or Front Glass Repair?
- LCD Repair: No picture, backlight issues, lines on screen, blank display, but glass is intact
- Front Glass Repair: Cracked glass, touch not working, but display shows picture normally
- Both services: If you have display problems AND cracked glass/touch issues

Same-Day Service Available: Same-day repairs can be completed in 2-3 hours if we prepare the replacement part in advance for your appointment. Call us or book an appointment so we can order the part for you – parts typically arrive next day. Contact us to arrange same-day service for your iPad Air 1.
Professional Installation Process: iPad Air 1 LCD screen replacement requires careful front glass removal to access the LCD panel beneath. The LCD is delicately connected with ribbon cables requiring precision handling. We test the new LCD before final assembly to ensure perfect functionality.
Frame Condition Matters: iPad Air 1’s aluminium frame often sustains damage during drops, particularly at corners. Bent frames prevent proper LCD installation and may complicate the repair process. We inspect and precision-align damaged frames using specialised tools. If frame damage is too severe, additional straightening work may be required at extra cost – you’ll always receive a quote and approval will be requested before any additional work begins.
High-Quality Replacement Parts: We use high-quality replacement LCD screens specifically for iPad Air 1 (model A1474/A1475/A1476, 2013 release), pre-tested for brightness, color accuracy, and image quality. Each LCD undergoes quality control before installation.
Comprehensive Post-Repair Testing: We verify display brightness and color accuracy, image clarity across the entire screen, backlight functionality, proper contrast and saturation, and ensure no dead pixels or display defects.
6-12 Month Warranty: All iPad Air 1 LCD screen replacements include a comprehensive 6-12 month warranty (depending on supplier warranty on parts) covering both replacement parts and installation workmanship.
What to Expect: Your iPad Air 1 will have clear, bright display with proper colors and contrast, no lines or artifacts, working backlight at all brightness levels, and sharp image quality across the entire screen.
Common Questions:
- How long does the repair take? Repairs take 2-3 hours when parts are available. Same-day service possible if we have stock or can prepare parts before your visit/device arrival.
- Will my data be safe? LCD replacement doesn’t directly affect your software or storage. We never intentionally delete customer data. However, we cannot guarantee data safety during hardware repairs. By agreeing to the service, you accept responsibility for your data. We always recommend backing up important files before any repair.
- What if I also have cracked glass? We’ll assess during diagnostics and provide a quote for additional front glass repair if needed. You’ll always get approval before we proceed with any additional work.
- What if my frame is damaged? We inspect and precision-align damaged frames. Severely damaged corners may require additional straightening work and incur additional costs – we’ll always provide a quote and get your approval before proceeding.
- Do you offer collection service? Yes, we offer nationwide courier service if you can’t visit our London locations.
- Do you need my passcode for testing? To properly test your iPad after repair, we need to access iPadOS. We can use a guest account if available, or you can provide a passcode. If you prefer not to provide access, we can only perform basic power-on testing – but full functionality testing is recommended to ensure your repair is 100% successful.
Important: Additional Damage Disclosure
If your iPad Air 1 has any additional damage beyond the LCD issue, please mention it when booking your repair:
- Cracked front glass or touch problems
- 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.
Diagnostics Available: Not sure if you need LCD replacement or front glass repair? Bring your iPad Air 1 (A1474/A1475) in for diagnostics. We’ll assess the exact damage and recommend the appropriate repair. Sometimes display problems are caused by loose cables rather than LCD failure – we’ll always give you an honest assessment before proceeding with any repair.
