Hi Guys How does the Ipad Air screen replacement digitizer flex cable fold and where does the adhesive on the flex cable stick down? I can’t find the information anywhere, would you be able to post a photo how this is done on a replacement screen? Luke
Hello Luke, bend the flex as shown in follow picture and sit it in the right place, check more details here: http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/reason-…
Hi Luke, It’s a bit hard to explain, but the adhesive from the flex cable should end up sticking to the inside of the frame next to the LCD. When you lay down your new digitizer, you will put down the right side first, pushing the digi cable assembly directly down between the LCD and frame. We have an iPad air video we recently posted, see if it helps: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZXY…
While I’ve never broken a flex cable I’ve resigned myself to the fact that an iPad with aftermarket adhesive holding the digitizer in place will never hold together as well as the factory glue. I inform people of this before starting the repair and when I hand it back I have kapton tape holding the digitizer in place externally. I usually recommend they get an otterbox style of case to help hold it and to hide the tape. It sucks, but it’s better than a broken iPad.
