iPad Mini 2 Front Glass Replacement Service – Expert Glass & Touch Repair

Cracked front glass or touch not working on your iPad Mini 2 (2nd Generation, model A1489/A1490/A1491, released November 2013)? Our specialised front glass replacement service fixes cracked glass and touch problems using high-quality replacement parts and professional repair techniques.

What This Service Fixes:

  • Cracked or shattered front glass
  • Touch functionality problems or dead zones
  • Home button not responding
  • Touch registering in wrong locations
  • Glass separated from frame

Important: Front Glass vs Complete Screen

This service replaces the front glass and touch digitizer only – your LCD display beneath remains intact. If you also have display problems (no picture, backlight issues, lines on screen, blank screen), you’ll need additional LCD screen repair service. We can assess this during diagnostics.

Do You Need Front Glass or LCD Repair?

  • Front Glass Repair: Cracked glass, touch not working, but display shows picture normally
  • LCD Repair: No picture, backlight issues, vertical/horizontal lines, blank screen, discoloration
  • Both services: If you have cracked glass AND display problems

Not sure? Bring your iPad Mini 2 in for diagnostics – we’ll assess exactly what’s needed.

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 Mini 2.

Professional Installation Process: iPad Mini 2 front glass is bonded with strong adhesive requiring careful heating and specialized tools for safe removal. We replace the adhesive with new high-quality bonding material ensuring secure fit. The home button is integrated with the glass assembly and will be transferred or replaced during repair.

Frame Condition Matters: iPad Mini 2’s aluminium frame often sustains damage during drops, particularly at corners. Bent frames prevent proper glass 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 front glass assemblies specifically for iPad Mini 2 (model A1489/A1490/A1491, 2013 release), pre-tested for touch accuracy and durability. Each glass assembly undergoes quality control before installation.

Comprehensive Post-Repair Testing: We verify complete touch functionality across all zones, home button operation, front camera functionality, and ensure the glass is properly sealed and aligned with the frame.

6-12 Month Warranty: All iPad Mini 2 front glass 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 Mini 2 will have fully responsive touch across the entire screen, working home button, and clear front glass without cracks. Display quality remains unchanged (this service doesn’t affect the LCD beneath the glass).

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? Front glass 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 LCD problems? We’ll assess during diagnostics and provide a quote for additional LCD 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 Mini 2 has any additional damage beyond the front glass issue, please mention it when booking your repair:

  • LCD display problems (no picture, lines, blank screen)
  • 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 front glass replacement or LCD repair? Bring your iPad Mini 2 (A1474/A1475) in for diagnostics. We’ll assess the exact damage and recommend the appropriate repair. Sometimes what appears to be glass damage is actually LCD failure, or vice versa – we’ll always give you an honest assessment before proceeding with any repair.
