IPad mini touch unresponsive after replacing digitizer.

I just replaced an ipad mini digitizer. The home button works fine but the screen is completely unresponsive. I can get to the lockscreen but can't swipe or do anything. I tried doing the reboot by holding both buttons but same result. Please help.

I guess I should have mentioned before that this is my second time replacing it. The first time there was a faulty digitizer and the home button wouldn't work. But the touch screen DID work. Now its flipped, my second time around fixing it the home button works fine and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I thought it might have some damage from being dropped but the touch screen worked before. So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or if its something i can fix. Thanks

  • IPad mini initially unresponsive after turning on?

    My iPad mini is consistently unresponsive after I first turn it on from shut down. It opens to the lock screen, but I can't type my password.
    I found that pushing the power button 4 times (two cycles of turning off the screen, then again to turn on the screen) will solve the problem, but it's really frustrating each time I turn on my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this?
    I am presently still running the last version of iOS 6. Would updating to iOS 7 fix this? I have concerns about significantly decreased battery life with the new OS. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kelly

    Running iOS 7 has not significantly decreased my battery times from what I was getting in iOS 6, but there is no question that what I was getting in iOS 5 and comparing that to what I get now, there is about one hour's difference. I used to easily get 10 hours in iOS 5 and that gradually decreased with every update in iOS 6 and has continued to decrease a little bit in iOS 7, but I still get 8-1/2 - 9 hours out of a full charge.
    As for the weird unresponsive screen issue, have you rebooted the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
    Tried resetting all settings! Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this you will have to enter all device settings again, but no data will be lost.

  • IPAD 3 white screen after replacing digitizer

    Had a cracked screen on my ipad but LCD was working perfectly. Bought a new digitizer and replaced broken digitizer.  Did not remove lcd.  Now when I turn on the screen is white.  I tried plugging in old broken screen but it is white also.
    I made sure both digitizes were correctly plugged in.
    I tired holding down power and home to reset. It resets but no apple logo.  Just white.
    Did I damage the LCD while repairing?  Should I try another screen first?

    Since iOS devices are not considered user serviceable it's a bit of a crap shoot doing anything like this eithe by yourself or some shop.
    Have you looked through any of the guides at www.ifixit.com?  Is it possibly just a bad connector?
    What about the digitizer itself?  Since there is no Apple authorized repair services, centers nor technicians for iOS devices, there are no legitimate or authorized suppliers of new replacement parts.  All parts available for purchase are used or recycled by 3rd party companies or gray/black market stuff, so are you sure the digitizer itself is good?

  • IPad mini touch screen borders not responding

    My ipad mini touch screen borders aren't responding and I tried rebooting by holding the sleep and wake button,please help me.

    Hey there EMB08,
    It sounds like you have noticed that the edges of your screen aren't responding to touch. You should use these steps to help troubleshoot the issue or seek service if needed:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
    Additional Information
    Tip: To isolate an issue related to a portion of the Multi-Touch display, follow these steps:
    Open the Maps application and double-tap each corner, then the center, to verify that it zooms in to each section.
    If a specific area is affected in another application, note the location and try to verify touch functionality for that location in the Maps application.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, you can also use Calculator:
    Open the calculator app to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the device to change to the scientific calculator and press the buttons in the left or right two rows.
    When speaking with a Mac Genius or Service Provider, you can use this information to assist with evaluation of your issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    My  IPAD Mini touch screen is not responding, it is showing a message icloudBackup but the back up is not happening and the system seems to be hanged?

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Ipad Mini Overheated? 1st Replacement

    I recently just got another ipad mini just 2 days ago this ipad is the replacement for an previous ipad mini I had earlier. The problem is that I was charging my ipad mini last night right before I went to sleep this morning when I woke up my ipad was hot to the touch. What do I do because it's only been two days and this is a replacement.

    You putting a lot of juice into a device that is 80% battery inside. When charging, the iPad will feel warm to the touch. If it's truly HOT, then it may be a problem.

  • IPad mini becoming unresponsive

    Hi, this week my iPad mini started to become unresponsive and with a weird behaviour.
    I was using Google Maps and then the touch screen started to become unresponsive, and now it's opening applications by itself, when I try to type some text, for example, if I press a letter, it types the letter three times.
    Did anyone see this kind of behaviour before?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Mac Mini: Mouse unresponsive after sleep.

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help a friend with her Mac Mini.  For some reason the mouse is unresponsive after the computer sleeps.  I've tried using different mice to the same result.  I have tried using different USB ports to the same result.  Anything else plugged into USB is fine, its just the mice that are unresponsive.  The only way to resolve the problem is to force a restart.  The machine is stock running 10.5.1
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I just bought a Mac Mini with Leopard, using wired Mighty Mouse, and also have the problem of the mouse freezing after logout.
    I have found that the mouse will freeze if the logout confirmation button is pressed with the mouse instead of return. Scrubbing the mouse rapidly across the screen while the system is processing the logout causes the mouse to freeze up almost every time.
    The work-around seems to be to use return logout, and don't touch the mouse until the login screen is presented.
    This problem also occurred with a Logitech mouse, which is why I bought the wired Apple mouse. (In order to isolate the problem to Apple hardware or eliminate the problem.)
    I hope that this problem is fixed soon -- I've just switched over from Windows Vista and am downgrading my old Dell box to Windows XP, because I wouldn't give Windows Vista to my worst enemy!
