Our partners offer cracked iPad screen repair all across the United States. Using a tablet with a broken screen is a major nuisance, so an iPad screen replacement is often the best way to address this common problem.

On average, replacing an iPad screen at one of our repair stores takes just 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Provided there is nothing else wrong with the iPad and there's been no damage to the internal hardware, the new screen can last you for years, as can the tablet itself.
We recommend keeping your iPad in a protective case, buying a glass protector to apply to the screen, and using it carefully so as to prevent it from falling.
A damaged iPad screen is annoying because it makes even the simplest tasks challenging. We understand the frustration of handling an iPad with a damaged screen, but don’t worry because we offer all types of screen repairs and handle the following damages:
Cracked screen: Your iPad’s screen may crack or shatter after falling or being damaged at impact. We will replace your iPad’s cracked screen to restore its functionality.
Scratches: Scratches on screens can block the view, making it challenging to enjoy using your iPad. Our team will carefully observe the screen damage and replace it if needed.
Display issues: Issues with LCD and OLED can cause issues with the display, which will get worse if not replaced. Such issues need to be addressed immediately.
Water damage: Water can cause the pixels to die, leading to visual issues and poor screen performance. Our skilled experts will thoroughly check your iPad for damages caused by water exposure and suggest necessary repairs or replacements.
We offer extensive iPad screen replacements, no matter the problem:
LCD replacement: We will replace the LCD or OLED display of your iPad if the damage has affected the display under the glass.
Glass replacement: A shattered glass or crack is susceptible to more damage, so we will replace the glass with a new panel.
Touch digitizer replacement: If your iPad’s touch screen stops working or fails to work in a timely manner, it might have a damaged touch digitizer that we will replace.
LCD screen and digitizer: Sometimes, your iPad may have extensive damage, requiring an LCD and digitizer replacement. Our technicians will handle LCD screen and digitizer replacement with utmost care, ensuring no other component is damaged during the process.
Using an iPad screen that is broken or cracked can severely block the view, making it unable to focus. Therefore, it’s worth repairing or replacing the screen to ensure the display shows high-quality graphics like it did when it was new.
Not all iPad screen issues will be visible, but you can look for the following signs:
There are minor scratches and cracks, especially chipped ends.
Your iPad display randomly flickers.
The screen is not responding to touch.
You can see spots, lines, or dots on the screen.
A DIY iPad screen repair saves time and money, but you need a strong skill set and the right tools to successfully carry out the repair. You should also use only OEM or high-quality parts compatible with your iPad. Before performing the DIY iPad screen repair at home, go through online guides and tutorials and invest in a tool repair kit to ensure the screen replacement process goes smoothly.
Is your iPad slow to charge, or does it run out of battery a lot quicker than it used to? Perhaps it won't turn on at all? Those issues can often be fixed by replacing the battery.
iPad battery replacement is just $121.2 on average at a trustworthy repair store found through our platform.
Our experienced technicians can replace your iPad battery safely in around 2 hours.
This depends on the model of the iPad and how well you take care of the battery. However, on average, an iPad battery will hit 80% of its original capacity after you charge it to full 1,000 times.
To keep your iPad battery in perfect condition, make sure that you always use the latest version of iPadOS, avoid using your tablet in extreme temperatures, and charge the battery when it's between 20% and 80% instead of filling it up to full or letting it drop down to zero.
Our team handles all types of iPad battery damages, including:
Battery drain: If your iPad’s battery drains too quickly, our technicians will thoroughly inspect it and replace it if required.
Battery failing to charge: If your iPad fails to charge properly or doesn’t hold its charge, it might have a damaged battery that we will gladly repair for you.
Overheating battery: Your iPad may overheat when charging, indicating a damaged battery that we will replace with a new one.
Here are the types of iPad battery replacements our team performs:
OEM battery replacement: Some of our partner stores offer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) batteries, which have been manufactured by Apple. OEM battery replacements last longer and ensure quality function.
Third-party battery replacement: Our partner stores also offer third-party batteries, which haven’t been manufactured by Apple but by a third party. Although we use high-quality batteries, we advise moving with an Apple-certified battery.
Refurbished battery replacement: Some of our stores use refurbished iPad batteries that have been tested for performance. This way, you won’t have to spend a lot and won’t need to worry about the quality of repairs.
Replacing your iPad’s damaged battery is worth considering if the device still meets your needs but suffers from poor battery life. A new battery can significantly extend yor iPad’s usability and performance.
These signs will tell you if your iPad needs a battery replacement:
Your iPad battery quickly drains even on a full charge.
Your iPad won’t charge properly or quickly drains if it does.
Your iPad randomly powers off even if it is fully charged.
Your iPad overheats with excessive consumption.
DIY iPad battery replacement requires technical skills as well as high-quality battery suited to your iPad’s model. While DIY iPad battery replacement can save money, it can void any current warranty, and potentially damage the surrounding components if not done correctly. Before proceeding with the repair, it’s important to go through online guides and use the right tools specific to your iPad model to ensure successful battery replacement.
A broken charging port might mean that your iPad won't charge, preventing you from using it. Fortunately, it's an easy fix for an experienced technician.
At Simply Fixable, repairing an iPad charging port is just $93.88 on average.
Replacing the charging port in your iPad will take around 3 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the extent of repairs required.
If replaced properly, your new iPad charging port may last for years—even as long as the remaining lifespan of the tablet itself.
Make sure to use original Apple accessories, including the charging cable and adapter, keep the charging port clean, and be gentle when connecting or disconnecting cables.
An iPad that fails to charge or overheats while charging may have a damaged charging port. We handle all types of charging port repairs, including:
Dirt and debris: Dust particles settled in the charging port can prevent the charger from connecting properly. Our technician will gently clean the port to restore its charging operation.
Loose connection: Unnecessary pressure on the charging port can cause a loose connection. Our team will tighten or replace the charging port.
Physical damage: A broken charging port won’t let your iPad charge, leaving you with no choice but to get it replaced.
Corrosion: Water can corrode the components of the charging port, which will need to be replaced. Our team will replace whatever is necessary to revive your iPad.
Our stores offer the following charging port replacements:
Standard charging port replacement: This straightforward process involves replacing an old charging port with a new one.
Dock connector replacement: Sometimes, a faulty charging iPad may have a damaged dock connector preventing a connection, which we will replace for you.
Lint/dust removal: We will gently remove dust or debris from the charging port.
Repairing the charging port of your iPad is worth it if the device is still functional and meets your needs, and also when the cost of repair is significantly lower than buying a new iPad.
These signs indicate that you need to replace the charging port:
You can’t fit your charging cable in the port and have to force it down.
Your iPad shows no response when the charger connects to the port.
You can see dust or crumbs in the charging port.
Your charger won’t connect unless you hold down on it or at a certain angle.
DIY iPad charging port repair is not a straightforward task to begin with. You need to have a good understanding of electronic devices, and a technical know-how of disassembling the device and replacing the post. If you’re not skilled enough to perform the repair, we recommend taking your iPad to a reliable repair store having the proper tools to fix your device.
The iPad Pro is one of the best devices Apple has to offer, with the latest models offering upgrades like a Liquid Retina XDR display and Apple's own M chips.

The iPad Air marks a good in-between point between the standard iPad and the iPad Pro.

Repairing an iPad Air at Simply Fixable is even cheaper than the iPad Pro, averaging just $115.
Apple's iPad mini is a popular choice for casual users who don't want a bulky tablet. However, its compact size means that it gets carried around a lot, and that makes it prone to fall damage. Don't worry if your iPad mini is acting up—Simply Fixable's partners can help you fix it in around 45 minutes for just $90 on average.

Apple makes iPads with portability in mind, so they're generally able to withstand quite a bit of damage before breaking. However, problems can occur sometimes, and here are some of the most common ones you might run into as an iPad owner.
This is perhaps one of the most common issues that happens to iPads all over the world—a cracked or broken screen, often caused by fall damage. Our partners have years of replacing iPad screens, so it's a quick and affordable fix.
Be careful when you transport the tablet and always make sure to buy an extra tempered glass protector to stick on top of the screen.
If your iPad won't turn on, there might be several reasons for that, ranging from hardware and software issues to a dead battery. At Simply Fixable partner stores, skilled technicians will look into the problem and may perform repairs such as battery replacement or a full iPad reset.
Keep your iPad up-to-date with the latest iPadOS updates from Apple, don't allow it to run out of battery, and avoid installing third-party apps from unknown sources.
It's frustrating when your iPad won't charge, be it due to battery issues or a faulty charging port. To repair your device, our experts will examine the battery and the ports and replace the part that's malfunctioning.
Don't allow your device to run out of battery completely, as it uses a lithium-ion battery, and those are best kept at around 20% to 80% at all times.
The charging port on your iPad can break due to heavy usage or being exposed to too much dust or debris. This problem can go away easily if you contact a reputable repair service and request a charging port replacement.
Only use official accessories made by Apple, such as the original Lightning cable and power adapter, and clean your charging port every so often using soft, dry, lint-free cloth, as per Apple's own guidelines.
If your iPad overheats, it might turn itself off to prevent further damage. When you take it in for repairs, our technicians will verify whether the problem lies in hardware or software glitches.
Avoid heavy use (such as games and videos) of your tablet when you're out in hot weather and don't leave it out in the sun.
An iPad black screen is often referred to as a "black screen of death," and it can be caused by third-party apps, corrupt firmware, or display issues, among other things. This calls for an in-depth diagnosis from an experienced technician who will be able to find the root cause of the problem and then fix it.
Make sure to only install apps found in the App Store and keep your iPad updated with the latest version of iPadOS.
If your iPad refuses to turn off, it's probably dealing with software errors, although it might also be having issues with its internal components. At Simply Fixable partner stores, our experts will rule out software glitches before moving on to hardware repairs and replacements.
Try not to overload your iPad with too many apps all at once, as it might eventually freeze and refuse to turn off as it tries to work its way through these tasks.
As your iPad ages, its battery health will decline with each charge cycle, so over time, you may notice that its battery drains quickly. At that point, it's best to look into iPad battery replacement in Rockford.
Avoid using your iPad in extreme temperatures, keep your iPad up to date, and follow Apple's guidelines on optimizing your settings.
Unlike iPhones, iPads are usually not waterproof or water-resistant, so water damage can occur pretty easily. If this happens to you, technicians at our partner stores will verify whether your tablet sustained any internal damage and if it can be repaired.
As these devices weren't made to sustain any type of water damage, your best bet is not to use them near any sources of water. A protective case can help, too.
It's frustrating if your iPad keeps glitching or freezing up, but fortunately, software is usually the cause. As part of your repairs, technicians will most likely update and restart your iPad as well as advise you if there are any apps you shouldn't be using.
Monitor your iPad storage levels to make sure it's not running out of space or memory, keep all your apps up-to-date, and download the latest versions of iPadOS when they become available.
Fixing an iPad can have varying costs based on the extent of the repairs, and a full screen replacement is bound to cost more than addressing a minor software glitch. However, if you're looking for affordable and trustworthy iPad repairs in Rockford, Simply Fixable only charges $104 on average for fixing your tablet.
The exact type of repair will play a deciding factor in how much it will cost you to get your device up and running. Replacing your iPad's screen costs just $173 on average at Simply Fixable, although the final quote depends on the tablet model. Battery replacement is cheaper, averaging $120, and fixing a broken charging port only costs $94 on average.

Repairing an iPad takes around 2 hours on average, but the service could take longer if your tablet is severely damaged. Experienced technicians will be able to give you an estimate as to how long it'll take for your iPad to be ready for pickup.
Repairing your iPad is often worth it, but it depends on what exactly is wrong with the tablet. If the device is old or damaged beyond saving, such as from a fall or an internal failure, it might be cheaper to buy a new iPad. However, a cracked screen or battery port can easily be replaced, and software issues are often a quick fix. In most cases, your best bet is to contact a repair store in Rockford and see how much the repairs would cost you, as iPads themselves can cost upwards of $1,000 for the latest models.
Getting your iPad screen fixed is usually worth it. It's not just about the comfort of use and being able to see everything, but also about safety, as pieces of chipped glass may start coming off eventually. As long as the screen replacement is cheaper than buying a new iPad (and it almost always is), the repairs will be worth the money.
Certain signs of damage might be cause for concern, so if anything seems to be wrong with your iPad, it's worth investigating. First, check your tablet for signs of external damage, such as cracks in the screen, a bent or dented chassis, or broken buttons or ports. You might also encounter problems with an unresponsive touchscreen as well as display and audio issues. Lastly, consider problems with the hardware and software, such as your iPad refusing to turn on, glitching out, or underperforming.
If you're tech-savvy, you might be tempted to go down the DIY route and fix your iPad by yourself. This can be a viable solution if you're feeling confident, but it could potentially void your warranty, ending up a lot more costly than simply using a reliable repair service provider.
We're here to help if you want to try to fix your iPad at home. Check out our tutorials on replacing your iPad screen, battery replacement, and installing new iPad glass.
Making the choice between repairing your iPad and buying a new one can be challenging. Things like budget, time, and convenience all play a part. The final decision comes down to whether the benefits of buying a new device will outweigh the affordable and easy solution of visiting a repair store.
If you're using an older iPad or it's been severely damaged, it often makes more sense to just buy a new one. Cheap iPads can cost as little as $250, so chances are that you'll actually save money by doing this. However, in most cases, getting a quote from a repair store should be your logical first step. You might be surprised how cheap it is to fix your iPad.
iPad repair service options include mail-in, local repair stores, and so-called come-to-you repairs. The benefit of mail-in repairs is that you can just send your iPad and have it returned to you without needing to go anywhere; the downside, however, is that it can get lost or damaged in the mail. Come-to-you repairs involve a technician coming to your doorstep, and while convenient, they're also pricey.
Visiting a reputable iPad repair store in Rockford combines the benefits of both. It's convenient and affordable, although the quality and price can vary between locations, which is why we only team up with trustworthy partners at Simply Fixable.
To pick a store you can trust, start by researching iPad repair locations in your local area. Read reviews of the repair store in question and contact them for a quote. Your best bet is to focus on repair stores that use reliable parts, employ experienced technicians, and offer competitive pricing. Simply Fixable can help you find the repair store that suits your needs and your budget.
When you choose Simply Fixable, you're choosing years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the Apple ecosystem. We're here to connect you with iPad repair stores near you and narrow down your search to the top 5 percent of stores in your immediate area.
Our partner stores deliver top-notch repairs in under two hours, and their expertise speaks for itself. In the last decade, over 40,000 iPads, iPhones, computers, tablets, cellphones, and gaming consoles have been repaired through the use of our platform. By picking Simply Fixable, you can be sure that the repairs will be convenient and effective.
If you want to repair your iPad directly through Apple, be aware that it'll cost $225 on average. If you're covered by the Apple Care+ plan, this cost might be lower, so if your device is under warranty or you have an active Apple Care+ subscription, this might be your best bet. You'll have to visit an Apple Store and let the staff give you a quote.
Instead of searching for an Apple location in your vicinity, you can count on us. At Simply Fixable, we only work with exceptional repair stores that can provide you with high-quality repairs in your local area. With over 2,000 partner stores all across the United States, we're able to guide you toward a place that's both convenient and trustworthy.
Don’t send your iPad for repairs without following these steps:
Your technician will require the exact make and model of your iPad to repair it. You can find your iPad’s model information by opening Settings > General > About and checking under the ‘Model’ entry.
Enter your name, number, and email address and share them with the technician to get regular updates on the repairs.
Your technician will run a couple of tests to initiate and continue repairs. A charged iPad will reduce turnaround time and make it easier for the technician to start with the repair. Provide the charger of your iPad if your repair concerns issues with the battery.
Store all your passwords in a safe place. You might have to share access to your device with your technician.
Take a backup of your important data to ensure safety before handing over the iPad for repairs. You can back up your data on iCloud or iTunes.
Let us handle all kinds of iPad repairs and trust our expert technicians' high-quality of repair services.
Once your iPad is repaired at a reputable service, it can last for a long time. When looked after properly, an iPad can last for 5 to 7 years before needing to be replaced. Of course, depending on your usage and the reason behind the repairs, this average lifespan might be shorter.
If you want your iPad to serve you well for years, it's always easier to maintain it than repair it. Here are some tips to help you ensure you can enjoy your tablet for many years to come.
Keep your iPad from sustaining fall damage, and make sure never to use it near water sources or in hot temperatures, as per Apple's guidelines.
Make sure to download the latest versions of iPadOS as soon as they become available by following this Apple guide.
To keep your iPad safe from malware and software issues, only download apps that are available on the official App Store and have high ratings.
Some iPad problems require a full reset, meaning data loss, so make sure to prevent that from happening by always backing up your data.
