Why is my iPad Air 2 screen not working?

The screen will not work. The touchscreen will, and all interference is comes from the too big screen protector on it due to a hideously cracked screen. I think that the screen cable was dislodged on the impact of that cracking, and was jostled around too much and disconnected. Could this be true? Is it worth it to repair or should I replace it.

Oh yeah, the entire chassis is bent at a 3 degree angel from the charger port

The internals are visible through missing chunks in the glass at the bottom not on the screen

Can you post a picture of the damage? It would take a lot to knock the connector loose in your iPad because there’s a metal plate the covers the screen connectors and it’s held in place with 3 screws. I would imagine you damaged the LCD which is what puts the picture on the screen. In the Air 2 and other models, Apple glued the glass and LCD together but in your case, even if they were separate parts, you’d still need an LCD screen replacement. You should be able to order a kit here on ifixit. If the frame is bent, you’re gonna have a hard time fitting a new screen so you’ll have to try to straighten it out.

@Tsar_ Bomba yeah I'm gonna need more pictures from a few different angles if you could. Can you get a better pic of this bend you're referring to along with the internals?

crwdns2934271:0N'w 1, 2020crwdnd2934271:0 Jesse Hooton crwdne2934271:0

Ok. The bend is not much of interest but ok

The bend does not exist. It was a hyperbole in my memory
