Wht shud i do to my iPad with a damaged screen?

I dropped my iPad and the screen was damaged. Whts the cheapest solution to get at least an iPad woth a normal screen?

My C&P came from the description of an out-of-warranty condition resulting from damage to the device.  The exceptions are (another C&P):
"Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service."
It does not appear that the OP's problem is one of the exceptions:
"I dropped my iPad and the screen was damaged."
Unfortunately, the operable phrase is "may be eligible for out-of-warranty service" but I wouldn't be too concerned.  I believe that the phrase is nothing more than CYA.

  • I received an iphone 6 with a damaged screen and now going through a customer service nightmare to get this resolved!!

    I ordered an iphone 6 and it was received with a damaged screen. I immediately called and was told that that since it's still functional to go ahead and activate it and a new one will be sent out with a box to fedex back the damaged one. I asked for a silver one and they said no problem. So after a week I called to ask for an update and was told that a message was left for me to call to verify. I never received a message.
    OK so then this person went ahead and took care of it and told me that she was ordering the silver one 16gb and once again to send the damaged one with the fedex box when I receive it. I later got a text asking for my bank account info.
    I called back to see why they need my bank account. They said I was going to be charged for the iphone again. NO!!! I will not pay AGAIN! This is not my fault!!
    So after a few more conversations and talking to the manager a few minutes ago. I was told that I was going to be charged for the iphone until they get the damaged one back. NO!!! Once again I will not pay AGAIN!
    I am turning to social media to fix this problem. I just want a working phone! I've been a customer for a very long time and I am shocked at the treatment I've experienced! 

        az.bulldogger,
    I am definitely sorry to hear that your phone was damaged when you received it. I know that would make me very upset and I would want a resolution for it as well. I am glad that we are able to offer a replacement for the phone. How that particular replacement works is that we will send you out a NEW phone rather than a Certified Like New Replacement. In order to do this, we do require a payment for that new phone. Once we receive the defective phone back in the warehouse, the charges are reversed. So essentially it is a hold until we receive the defective phone back. There is not another way for us to order a new device without this payment. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

  • Is there any way for Apple to recover my iPad with a cracked screen?

    I recently put my iPad down and discovered it was cracked when I picked it up. After a period of time the crack got worse and now it is across the whole top of the iPad.some of the pieces are falling out, but there is no real damage to the screen. Please help if you know if there is any way Apple could replace the screen, and for how much!!!

  • Boot a Macbook pro with a damaged screen with my MacBook

    Is there a way to start a Macbook pro with a damaged display by hooking it up to my older MacBook?
    I want to see if the rest of the laptop is in good condition before sending it out for a new display.

    If you're able to connect them with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable, do so, start up the MacBook Pro with the T key held down, and the other computer with the Option key held down. This will only reveal information about the MacBook Pro's internal drive.

  • How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

    Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
    But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

    Hi,
    I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices,  unfortunate as that may be.
    This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
    broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television.  We should expect some
    bumbs along the road.
    This may be an unrelated problem:
    On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
    screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
    After OS 5,  HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE  -  all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
    The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity.  Xfinity is now letterbox.   Very, very annoying!!!
    The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem.  I sure hope they do.

  • Can an ipad with water damage be repaired?

    Can an ipad that has suffered water damage be repaired?  Everything seemstomwork except the wifi antenna and the sound.

    UPDATE: I emailed MyiBroke not even an hour ago and have already received a response
    "Jay, Thanks for pointing that out. I will make sure that the spelling errors are corrected in the morning. We really appreciate you taking the time to show us a kindness! Have a Merry Christmas
    Hayden"
    Chris, we are all human and capable of making mistakes. I would much rather help resolve a problem vs attempting to drive business away from a company who is offering a much needed service. For me to get an email response with in an hour of contacting a company on the east coast who is not likely open at 2am is more than impressive in my book. When is the last time you emailed a business in the middle of the night and they responded that fast?
    WARNING - Do not do business with a company that doesnt provide amazing customer service - BE AWARE!

  • New iPad with dust under screen

    So I just got a brand new today. Boot up the gorgeous screen, go through the setup, reach a white screen and...
    Nice big old piece of dust dead center on the screen. Tried cleaning it and rubbing it to no avail.
    I know Apple is usually pretty good with sending you a replacement but should I expect a long wait for my brand new iPad I received today. Should I expect to wait 2-3 weeks for a new iPad or does apple usually expedite issues like this?

    I've also had way too many instances of dust under the screen. I've probably looked at at least 7 new iPads now and each one had dust under the screen (and the only that didn't have dust had a cluster of dead pixels!). After the first instance I made sure to open each new one in the Apple store and the sales associate or genius bar member with me each time agreed that there was foreign material under the screen and that I shouldn't accept the problem if it bothers me (which it does considering how much money I'm spending on the iPad). I currently don't have a new iPad because I'm sick of buying and returning them and a genius bar member suggested I wait a few weeks to see if the manufacturing is improved (he didn't have any inside knowledge suggesting Apple would be tweaking the manufacturing but just suggested it could happen if Apple discovers that dust under the screen is an issue).
    All of my issues were with the 64gb Verizon model. Are people experiencing dust problems with other models as well?

  • Apple wont change my iPad with a bad screen :( Anything I can do?

    Today I received an email from apple that says my iPad "meets apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality" even though it has a giant piece of dust under the screen (not the wallpaper, it's there when the screen is off). I am really upset about this especially considering all I've gone through to get a good one: I first got my iPad from the apple online store at the end of may, and noticed it had dust under the screen which made it look like a dead pixel. I'm in San Angelo and the closest store is in San Antonio, 194 miles away. I'm also on training status on the Air Force (Goodfellow AFB) and getting out of the base is extremely hard. I finally got permission and found somebody to lend me their car last week, and so I headed on the ridiciously long trip. After arriving to the La Cantera Parkway store I went in and they exchanged it for a refurbished one. When I go back to the base I see that it has a giant piece of dust under the screen on the lower right and is scratched on the upper left and on the dock connector. So i just wasted more than $100 on a trip for nothing. I call apple customer service and they say they will send me a box to ship it to them. I receive it and then I get my roommate to do it, because it's basically impossible for me because I can't bring mail to the facility where I am trained, and I can't just go where I want on the weekdays, and the only time I can actually walk around the base, on after duty hours, the post office is closed. Today I received two emails: one that says they received the iPad and another a few minutes ago saying it meets their performance so they wont change it. I can't even talk to customer service because they are closed and I cant in the morning because I have to wake up at 3:50am and cant have my cellphone till 5:00pm, by that time they'll have shipped it. This is really frustating, is there anything I can do? I'm thinking to sell it at a loss since exchanging it is just a giant hassle.

    Really sorry to hear about your story .
    Have you tried to call them again sometime? Try to express your anger about the issue and force them to find you a solution. I think Apple is nice and they do listen to their customers. You can always request to talk to their supervisor/manager. I am sure they will listen and find you a solution.
    I was once succesful at nagging them to exchange my Macbook Pro faulty logic board (which costs about $2000AU) even my waranty is expried (2 years after I bought my MBP). And yes, they did it for me, really nicely.
    Good luck and keep us updated,

  • Can my iPad with water damage be repaired?

    My iPad sustained mild water damage and will not power on.  Can it be repaired or is it permanently fried?

    Apple does not repair iDevices other than replace batteries.  this would be an out-of-warranty replacement, cost depending on your warranty/AppleCare+ coverage.
    If it has been water damaged and will not turn on, there is probably one or more short circuit involved that will mean little likelihood of repair.  You can take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and pass final judgement.

  • Unlocking a phone with a damaged screen...

    if my phone is locked with a passcode and my screen is damaged beyond repair, is there a way for me to unlock my phone so that i can connect to my itunes account

    Not sure what you mean.
    Carrier unlocking involves not code .
    Your carrier would have to unlock your iPhone for you.

  • Combining Data from a Broken iPad with Another iPad.

    My fiance replaced her iPad with a broken screen with a brand new one.  When we left the Genius Bar, the Genius told her to go home and back it up from iTunes (she synced the old one prior to leaving for the store).  I thought she would take care of it, but unfortunately she didn't, and began using it straight away.  Now, a month after using it, she's realized that there were some things on the broken iPad that she needed.  BUT, now that she's been using the new iPad, she has lots of info on it. 
    Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow add the data from the old iPad, without losing the new data she's acquired. 
    Thanks,
    michael

    Not now. She should have restored from the backup of the old iPad before she started using the new iPad. If she transfers the data from the new iPad into iTunes now she will overwrite the old backup.
