Symptoms & Preventative Measures

Screen shows little or not content, and it looks like someone spilled ink on your screen. Sometimes you will find vertical colored/ white lines on the displaying portion of the screen. Other damage that occurs during this kind of damage usually is a cracked glass lens/digitizer. Damage usually occurs from non-pinpoint pressure (such as weight inside a bookbag) on the iPad 3G + Wi-Fi, or dropping the iPad 3G + Wi-Fi on it's back. Replacement of the LCD will repair any dead pixels, vertical pixel lines or dead pixel horizontal lines. Does not include the glass lens/digitizer.

Preventative Measures include using a case for your iPhone that creates seperation between objects and the screen. Cases that don't create a 'lip' on the glass side of the screen may be fashionable, but provide no protection. Screen protectors provide limited protection as they do not prevent PSI breaks (Pounds per Square Inch) where pinpoint pressure causes the LCD Display to crack, however, it will aid in protection against sliding cracks where impact is minimal but objects harshly abrase the screen. For LCD breaks, the thicker & more padded the case, the better to cushion impact.

Dead Pixels are individual points on the LCD screen that do not show any color, but are gray. Typically, dead LCDs come in groups, usually in a hoizontal fashion. Damage usually occurs from pinpoint pressure from pressing on the iPad 3G + Wi-Fi glass lens/digitizer too hard, or sometimes from extreme heat.

Preventative Measures include using an Otter Box™ protective case, and keeping the iPhone out of the sun for long periods of time.

Stuck Pixels are individual points or vertical lines of white, red, green and/or blue pixels. Vertical lines will tend to 'flash' or strobe, and sometimes move. This usually happens from damage to the LCD processing chip, and is only resolved by an LCD replacement. Individual pixels that are 'stuck' on an individual color are usually at the fault of the manufacturer, and can sometimes be fixed using a pixel fixer you can download for free from the iTunes Store. Unfortunately, unless you are still under warranty, you cannot get the manufacturer to replace the screen. If you get your LCD replaced by us, it comes with a 1 Year Warranty, which includes against stuck pixels due to manufacturing.

Preventative Measures include using an Otter Box™ protective case, and keeping the iPad out of the sun for long periods of time. Individual pixels are impossible to avoid, timing depends on the quality of materials. We only use Apple Original Parts, and Warranty such parts for 1 Year.

Screen lights up white, or white with gray streaks. Damage usually means that the LCD processing chip has been irreversably damaged. However, if you find it's just solid white, typically a 'force restart' can resolve such issues. Damage usually occurs from impact damage or crushing from sitting on the iPad 3G + Wi-Fi or getting run over by vehicles (Yes, it does happen).

Preventative measures include a plastic adhesive clear/ anti-glare or reflective screen protector, a ZAGG Invisible Shield ™, or a case with a protective layer such as the Otter Box™.

Yes. It comes with a 1 Year Warranty against manufacturing defects or installation errors, including the part and labor to replace it. This may include dead or stuck pixels, as long as the iPhone's impact sensor has not indicated a significant impact since the installation. Please ensure that you pick up a warranty card at the time of repair. The warranty explicitly does not include any LCD screen that is cracked, shattered or broken in any way, damaged via fluid or water, or if the iPad was repaired by any other company excluding Apple Computer Company. Warranty validation may require further inquiry than initial inspection.
