Cracked / shattered iPad mini screen
Jems

I have just dropped my iPad mini and the screen had cracked, do these cost a lot to replace? I'm considering claiming on my contents insurance but if it doesn't cost a lot to fix I'll just do it myself. I'm posting on it now so it doesn't affect the iPad working, it just looks horrible

You can change the screen, but it's not easy. Have a look at a few YouTube videos before you even contemplate doing it yourself.

I have a friend who replaced my laptop screen, I'd either ask him to do it or take it to a shop and pay instead of claiming on my insurance for a new one. I'm just trying to gauge cost, and which is more cost effective. The iPad is only a year old :-/

I would say replacing a laptop screen is much easier.

Ok

Has anyone replaced a screen in a shop then and can help me with how much it might cost? I have contents insurance (thankfully it's a recent purchase) but that has an excess. I would like to know if it'll be cheaper to go through my insurance or not.
