Apple iPad Screen Replacement in Singapore
Cracked a screen and are in search of an Apple iPad screen replacement in Singapore? We’ve got the fix you need!
iPads have been increasing in popularity with their powerful processor chips and lightweight portability that is half the weight of a laptop. However, Apple’s spare parts do not come cheap. The iPad screen alone is the single most expensive component of the entire iPad.
We may have tried our best to keep our iPad in pristine condition by adding a screen protector and a durable case. However, misfortune often hits when we least expect it (like a pet pushing down your iPad from your table).
Hence, we will evaluate some of the common iPad screen problems followed by the best solution to get your iPad screen fixed once and for all.
3 Common iPad Screen Issues Users Face
1. Discoloration Or Distortion of iPad LCD Display
A loose LCD cable, overheated device, liquid damage, strong force, or pressure could cause distortion on your iPad screen. If you had recently dropped your iPad, you can try hitting the back of your iPad to push the LCD cable into place.
If that does not work, it is best to get it checked with an Apple repair center to diagnose the problem.
2. Black Or Blank Screen
If your black screen is not due to a dead battery, the possible culprit could either be a software glitch or a hardware issue. A hard reset may do the trick as a temporary solution but fixing it will require additional procedures where backing up your iPad is necessary.
If it’s a hardware problem, it could be due to a hard fall, water damage, or faulty cables. Nevertheless, the wise idea is to get an Apple-certified technician to find out the problem before it gets worse.
3. Frozen/ Irresponsive Screen
A frozen screen can be caused by a variety of factors: a system glitch, a dirty screen, or a cracked screen. To make sure that all possibilities have been ruled out, update your iPad to the latest iOS version and force restart your iPad to reset any system or app errors.
Ensure that your iPad has enough storage as maxing out your storage can affect the performance of your iPad and cause it to be irresponsive.
Look out for any visible cracks or damages to your iPad screen. If you have a screen protector on and you notice a crack, simply run your fingers through the damage and notice if there’s a difference in texture. If the screen feels smooth, it means that there is a crack on the screen and not on the screen protector.

How To Keep My iPad Screen In The Best Condition?
Clean your iPad screen regularly from fingerprint smudges, dust, and dirt using a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners such as Windex or rubbing alcohol as this will strip the coating on the display and damage your iPad screen.
You can also purchase an iPad screen protector or an iPad heavy-duty case (not the soft leather case) for full protection.
If you want to reduce touchscreen usage and have some budget to spare, consider investing in a Magic keyboard and trackpad and converting your iPad into a mini laptop.
