Unfortunately this #repair attempt was a failure, but well worth watching to see how it was done. This was an A2197 iPad with a flickering screen and cracked digitizer. The digitizer and screen were swapped out, but sadly the flickering screen issue still remained, rendering the iPad unusable.
I heated up the logic board gently to see if it would spring into life, and ran a few more tests off camera. Sadly the iPad remained broken, and so the customer asked me to end the repair attempt.
I’d never seen a flickering screen issue like that before, so it was good to #troubleshoot it and see the symptoms. I can end on a positive note though, the parts of the iPad that work will be used to fix other A2197 iPads in the future.
