I had a cracked screen in my iPad2 3g. Worked OK except for the screen. Felt like the repair would be too much for me so I took it to a repair shop that advertised fixes. They replaced the screen in about 90 minutes but now the display is all red. They said they tried a couple of different screens but they all ended up with the color issue, and diagnosed the problem as a logic board issue. Sound right?
yes, but totally repairable. i fixed one like this before and it turned out to be one of the tiny little components right near where the LCD flex plugs into the board. just replaced that one little filter and display was normal again. This is the shop’s fault–it is pry damage. feel free to contact me via my profile if you need help finding a place that does board level repairs like this
totally agree with Jess If you use metal pry tools instead of plastic, you can cause issues like the one you are having. Its an expensive lesson to learn but that shop needs to learn it. Chances are they grabbed the LCD cable with a pair of pliers and blew a filter. Plastic tools people!
