Just had a look at the beginning of the YouTube clip on how to disassemble the screen and digitiser. Looks scary.

Never used a genuine part (because they just happen to be priced to make it cost ineffective to repair ::) ) and never had an issue.  Only thing to be careful of is the ribbons when connecting the new screen as this is where the majority of assembly issues occur.

Apple want £206 odd to repair in store. :o

There certainly seems to be no way to acquire genuine parts. So pattern shite it is then ;D

Sure we had an Ipad screen replaced for around £30 a while back. More than enough to spend on an Apple device! Mind you, if I hadn't fell arse over tit on it when packing the car for a holiday it'd have cost nothing!

Piece of Pesh job. :y

...but since cleaning and reassembling the LCD and back of the glass, two bits of goop from the double sided tape have appeared behind the screen. And the menu button is less responsive/recessed, compared to the original. Bollo!

Is it on the locating pins properly, recall a little effort being needed on installation to get it right (was on an ipad2 though)

The pattern digitizers are never as good as the originals, its very hit and miss on the quality sadly.
