9.7-inch Front Glass Touch Digitizer & LCD Replacement
Classic 9.7-inch iPads are legendary for their durability and versatility. On these classic models, the exterior front glass digitizer is independent of the internal LCD panel. If an accidental drop cracks the outer glass while the screen underneath still displays clearly, our Hyattsville technicians replace just the glass digitizer assembly. We use premium optically clear adhesives, ensuring responsive multi-touch navigation, edge-to-edge touch accuracy, and scratch-resistant durability.
Home Button & Touch ID Biometric Mechanism Servicing
Whether your classic iPad features a tactile click Home button (iPad 1 through 4) or a capacitive Touch ID fingerprint sensor (iPad 5th and 6th Gen), the button flex requires delicate handling. Our certified technicians carefully transfer and realign the button assembly to maintain seamless navigation, biometric unlocking, and responsive tactile clicking.
Charging Dock Micro-Soldering & Power Circuit Fixes
Daily charging over many years can bend internal pins or loosen the dock connector (both Lightning connectors on 4th Gen through 6th Gen, and 30-pin dock connectors on iPad 1, 2, and 3). If your iPad refuses to charge, our micro-soldering specialists cleanly de-solder the damaged port, reconstruct board solder pads, and test charging ICs to restore dependable power intake.
High-Capacity Zero-Cycle Battery Renewal
Lithium-ion battery packs in older iPads naturally lose chemical capacity over hundreds of charge cycles, leading to short battery life, sudden shutdowns, or slight battery swelling. We safely extract worn battery packs without flexing the aluminum frame and install certified zero-cycle replacement batteries equipped with thermal safety cutoffs to restore dependable all-day battery life.
Aluminum Unibody Straightening & Audio Jack Extraction
Dented aluminum corners or warped housings from drops can prevent replacement glass from seating flush, causing future cracks. We use precision corner shaping and hydraulic truing tools to restore original frame contours. We also safely extract broken 3.5mm headphone plugs to revive audio functionality.
