i'm new here, so please forgive me. I'd like to consider my self rather saavy when it comes to this kind of thing. I have fixed over 50 iPhones (3GS, 4, 4S, 5) in several months, as well as iPods. I was asked to do an iPad (1st Gen) for the first time. I followed the instructions extremely well, and on the last step, I went to clip the digitizer into it's spot when low and behold the little plastic clip broke off also. Now I'm hoping this is where everyone else is on the same page.
When I test the iPads functionality before clipping it in to the frame, everything is fine.
When I clip in the side with the permanent plastic clips into the frame... everything is fine.
When I clip in the bottom...... everything once again is fine and responsive.
When I clip in the side (closest to the digitizer ribbon) .... the responsive portion of the digitizer STOPS responding.
WHEN I pry open the corner a little using my pry tool.... the responsive portion of the digitizer works again..... of course... I clip it back in... the digitizer stops working. YEEEES, this is frustrating.
IS THIS THE SAME ISSUE as mentioned above? Is this due to too much pressure or not enough pressure on the clamp area? Will me using Mylar tape on the area where the plastic clip broke off for the digitizer piece be enough to fix this??
I'm at a loss and need help ASAP!! Please help or email (i'm not sure how I don't see anyone elses email on here to ask for their help in a one-on-one manner)
Please let me know!! THANKSSSSSSSSS.
