Has your iPad 5 screen been cracked or smashed, or has the touchscreen stopped responding correctly while the LCD display underneath still produces a normal image?
Console Wizard provides professional iPad 5 screen repair in Bolton, Greater Manchester, together with a UK-wide repair service for customers who send their iPad to our repair centre.
For £79.99, our engineers replace the damaged front glass and touch-sensitive digitizer while retaining the existing LCD where it remains fully functional.
This repair is suitable for the Apple iPad 5th Generation A1822 and A1823 where the front glass or touchscreen digitizer is damaged but the LCD underneath remains operational.
A successfully completed repair receives our standard 3-month warranty covering the original repaired fault.
Common iPad 5 Screen Problems
The front glass and touchscreen digitizer can become damaged following a drop, impact or pressure on the screen.
This repair may be suitable if your iPad 5 has:
• Cracked or smashed front glass
• Broken glass around the edges of the display
• Touchscreen areas that do not respond
• Intermittent touchscreen operation
• Ghost or incorrect touch input
• Damaged touch digitizer
• Working LCD underneath damaged glass
If the LCD underneath the glass has lines, black areas, ink-like marks, distorted colours or no image, additional LCD repair may be required.
iPad 5 Cracked or Smashed Glass Repair
The iPad 5 uses a front glass panel incorporating the touch-sensitive digitizer positioned above the LCD display.
This means the front glass can be cracked or smashed while the LCD underneath continues producing a completely normal image.
Where the LCD remains fully functional, replacing the front glass and digitizer allows the existing LCD to be retained rather than replacing components unnecessarily.
This service is therefore specifically intended for front glass and touchscreen digitizer damage.
iPad 5 Touchscreen Not Working
The digitizer is responsible for detecting finger movements and touch input across the screen.
Physical damage or failure of the digitizer can therefore cause touchscreen problems even when the LCD continues displaying a normal image.
Symptoms can include sections of the screen that no longer respond, intermittent touch operation or incorrect touch input.
If the problem is caused by the front digitizer, replacing the glass and digitizer assembly can restore normal touchscreen operation.
Glass and Digitizer vs LCD Screen
The front glass/digitizer and LCD are separate components on the iPad 5.
The digitizer provides the touch-sensitive surface, while the LCD underneath produces the image.
This £79.99 repair is intended for a damaged front glass or touchscreen digitizer where the LCD underneath remains fully functional.
Signs that the LCD itself may also be damaged include:
• Vertical or horizontal lines
• Black areas on the display
• Ink-like marks or bleeding
• Distorted colours or images
• Flickering caused by LCD damage
• No visible display despite the iPad powering on
LCD damage is not included in this £79.99 glass and digitizer repair.
If you are unsure whether the LCD is damaged, the iPad can be inspected before the appropriate repair is confirmed.
What Does Our iPad 5 Screen Repair Include?
Our professional iPad 5 glass and digitizer replacement service includes:
• Professional dismantling of the iPad
• Removal of the cracked or damaged front digitizer
• Inspection of the LCD underneath
• Replacement front glass and touch digitizer fitted
• Existing working LCD retained
• Touchscreen functionality testing
• Display functionality testing
• Professional reassembly
• 3-month warranty covering the original repaired fault
Professional iPad 5 Digitizer Replacement
Replacing the front digitizer requires the damaged glass to be carefully removed while protecting the LCD and internal components underneath.
Our engineers professionally dismantle the iPad, remove the damaged front glass and digitizer and inspect the LCD beneath it.
Where the LCD remains fully functional, it is retained and the replacement digitizer is installed.
The iPad is then professionally reassembled before the display and touchscreen functions are tested.
iPad 5 Home Button and Touch ID
The iPad 5 uses a physical Home button incorporating Apple's Touch ID fingerprint functionality.
The original Home button is electronically paired with the iPad logic board and must be retained for Touch ID to continue functioning.
During a normal screen repair, the original working Home button is carefully transferred to the replacement digitizer.
If the original Home button or its ribbon cable has already been physically damaged, a replacement Home button may restore basic Home button operation, but Touch ID fingerprint functionality cannot normally be restored using a replacement button.
If your Home button has also been damaged, please make us aware of this when submitting the iPad for repair.
Can I Continue Using an iPad 5 With Cracked Glass?
An iPad may continue working after the front glass has been cracked, but continuing to use badly damaged glass can make the device uncomfortable or unsafe to handle.
Loose or sharp pieces of glass can develop around the damaged area and further pressure or impact can potentially cause additional damage.
A crack can also spread across the screen over time.
If the LCD underneath is currently undamaged, repairing the broken glass before further damage occurs can help prevent the fault becoming more extensive.
Will iPad 5 Screen Repair Delete My Data?
Replacing the front glass and digitizer does not normally require the iPad to be erased or reset.
However, important data should always be backed up whenever possible before any electronic device is submitted for repair.
We recommend maintaining a current backup of important photographs, documents and other information before bringing or sending your iPad to us.
iPad 5 A1822 and A1823 Screen Repair
This screen repair service is suitable for the Apple iPad 5th Generation A1822 and A1823.
The iPad 5th Generation was released in 2017 and is available as the A1822 Wi-Fi model and A1823 Wi-Fi + Cellular model.
Different iPad generations can use different screens and internal components, so it is important to select the correct repair service.
The model number can normally be found on the rear casing of the iPad.
If you are unsure which iPad model you own, contact Console Wizard before ordering and we can help identify the correct repair.
3-Month iPad 5 Screen Repair Warranty
A successfully completed iPad 5 glass and digitizer replacement receives our standard:
3-month warranty covering the original repaired fault.
The warranty applies to the screen repair carried out by Console Wizard and does not provide a general warranty covering unrelated faults elsewhere within the iPad.
New accidental damage, cracked glass, physical damage or liquid damage occurring after the repair is not covered by the screen repair warranty.

Will the screen repair erase my data?
