iPad repair

I meant to add, if you bought the cheapest large iPad last year (the iPad 9.7 2017) then £160 is an expensive quote.

Here’s a reputable repairer who replaces the screen for £99. There’s a list of all the models and a price, if that isn’t your model.

Certainly makes the iPad (2017) the most likely. The other 9.7” models are more expensive.

I don’t recall asking for advice on how much I should spend on my grandsons present.

So you should have no problem spending £160 to get it repaired.....and then the same again when it gets broken a second time

Yes I can :beer:
I just like to make sure I’m paying the right rate for a repair, this is MSE after all.

I don’t know what kind of case is on it but, once it’s repaired, I’d highly recommend Griffin Survivor. We have them on all the iPads at school and they’ve all survived more than 5 years of abuse from 4-11 year olds unscathed.

£160 for a repair + future repairs .
Personally i would be buying new and putting the old one on ebay for spares .

Really?
How much is it worth?
A new one is another £300
