Smashed iPad screen - help
« on: November 09, 2014, 08:03:42 pm »
My wife dropped her iPad retina yesterday and the screen has pretty much shattered. You feel like you will cut your finger as you swipe across it so it is obviously more serious than just a few cracks.

I have no idea what options I have other than trading it in at apple for a new iPad for circa £200

Grateful for a spot of help and advice

Thanks

This is my dads company who specialize in repair of phones laptops and gadgets, I know I'm biased but they aren't a dodgy back street company and you can be assured to receive a high quality finish  :happy2:

Try Orwell computers on Facebook , based in Ipswich . I have no connection but other facebook friends have used them and they only use Apple sourced parts . Its a very small business  :smiley:
