Ipad3 screen cracked

Dan82

Hi All,


Dropped my ipad3 last week and cracked the screen and a little bit of the back is dented, even tho it was in a case.

Wonder if anyone can advise me, hear best way to sort is by dealing with apple direct, done this but itll take nearly two weeks but the major plus is that its a refurb il get back so itll be in great condition and il still have a warranty

Has anyone else had same issue and how did you get it sorted,im based in Dublin

Thanks

Dont be at yourself

Head up to the Apple Store in Belfast; they should be able to swap you out with a refurbished replacement on the spot. You'll have to pay, of course!

Spoke to apple, they are giving me a refurb and the new one will be covered by warranty, its 220 sterling,i have it in writing, if you think your friend can sort the screen and back cover on mine for less than that let me know , but i cant see that happening lad

I got my ipad 2 screen replaced in Cell Again in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. Compub gave me a voucher for a tenner off and the total price was 140 euro. I was very impressed with the repair. Its as good as new.

im waiting for a guy to come back to me 120 euro new screen, what damage have you done to yours? id still rather get replacement from apple, that would be first choice

My screen is cracked in a few different places but I can still use the iPad. I was just going to get the screen replaced but I then noticed there was a piece gone of a the screen at the edge. Was afraid there could be other stuff wrong later ad a result of the fall so decided the safest thing to do was to replace it through apple. Don't even know what happened it. My 4 year old must have dropped it. When I opened the cover the screen was cracked and there was wee shards of glass on the inside cover! An expensive mistake!

We are all in the same boat, I'm told now best thing to do is put up for sale and then buy new one but I'm under time restriction with needing it for the weekend,
