iPad Mini smashed screen

My iPad mini second generation screen is smashed and the home button has came off. I've booked a genius bar appt for thurs night but does anyone know how much Apple will charge for replacing/fixing it?

Hi,
if you've not had it replaced before and if you are nice to the Apple person they may do it free of charge (I've had that before). Failing that it'll be expensive, probably over £150 (glass only) but they'll give you an Apple refurbished one there and then i.e. they don't send yours off for repair and make you wait.

My son is autistic and despite numerous protective cases, I've had few cracks in the glass. Apple don't sell spare parts but you can get third party parts. Most places cost around £60 to replace it for the iPad mini but that will void any remaining Apple warranty.

You can order the glass yourself (with home button) from third party sellers on Amazon or eBay and there are plenty of videos on You Tube that show you how to replace it yourself. It is fiddly though. The glass from Amazon/Ebay should be around £24. However, you have to get a good seller as the quality can vary.

Hope that helps.

I've used them a few times for various mobile phone spares and the quality and service is very good.They sell the tools you need too.

Looks good but the high shipping costs to the UK make it cost prohibitive.
