The iPad 3 debuted in
mid-2012 and was discontinued after only 6 months, being replaced by the 4th
generation of the same Apple tablet. And like all other tablets, one of the
biggest complaints and most common user issues around iPad 3 screen repair or
replacement. With a thin, light-weight device, accidents do happen, and the
fragile screen takes the brunt of the damage. From shattering to scratches,
iPad 3 has seen its fair share of physical hardship.
But physical damage and
deterioration is not the only reason to replace your iPad 3 broken screen. In
fact, there are several problems that can crop up, each with their own unique
manifestation, cause, and troubleshooting.
iPad 3 Screen Replacement
OEM
In the case of physical
damage or part malfunction, it’s always best to repair an iPad 3 screen with an
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass/digitizer and LCD. Carrying out a
repair of a cracked iPad 3 screen with non-Apple parts could mean more damage
down the road. Other glass repairing options may remove up or even break more
easily. You can recognize OEM glass by its quality, as well as its origin. Only
Apple stores sell Apple parts. Anywhere else sells copycat parts which may or may
not last.
There is a two-week return
period for new devices purchased from an Apple certified dealer. Usually, Apple
stores are pretty good about replacing your entire tablet for free if you are
within warranty and seeing a hardware issue like the screen turning white.
However, unless you have Apple Care +, physical damage is not covered by your
warranty.
