CamelMan Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 A member of staff's little boy has managed to somehow add their Ipad (personal one) to the washing pile and is now a very shiney "Shiney"! However the screen no longer works - they can hear it starting up and going in the background and the alarms still trigger for ebay etc however the screen itself is black. Does anyone know of any tricks or companies (pref in Wales) they can use to bring it back?
elsiegee40 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Timpson's shoe repairers across the country now do screen replacements in phones and tablets. I have no idea if they are any good. 2
Griff Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Might check them out got a broken screen on my original HTC One x would be nice to have a spare phone knocking about! thanks
Novalee Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 How long ago was it? I dropped my iPhone in water recently and the screen was a mess (although it was in the water a lot less time than a full washing cycle!) but after a few days - nearly a week - it was nearly back to normal. But it wasn't completely black so that's maybe not helpful! My OH just replaced his iPhone screen with parts bought on eBay and it seems fine. But you can't buy original apple parts I don't think - only if you pay a 'proper' company to do it. (Not sure how helpful this was actually?!) 1

6Foot2 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Not that it helps but here is an example of what it might have recorded when it was made "Shiney": Posted on YouTube: 15th December 2013 2
unixman_again Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 We had a teacher drop her iPad and we took it to Timpson's. Took a week and cost £100, both exactly as they said. I don't know if that is expensive or not, but it was very convenient. 1
CamelMan Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Great thanks all - I'll pass on the information!
jonnykewell1 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 one of the teachers at my old school placed his ipad on a street cone whilst doing bus duty, it fell off and got ran over by one of the buses. The screen was broken but I still managed to get all the data off
abillybob Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Two things I'd check are, make sure the ribbon cable is still connected to the motherboard of the unit as after going round and round it could have become dislodged. If that is perfectly fine there is a product called reviveaphone, if you follow the instructions it WILL completely repair the iPad and for around £12 it's great! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reviveaphone-DRAGONS-Damaged-Smartphone-Recovery/dp/B00HR25NA6
