iPad Pro 12.9 (1st Gen) Repair — North Providence RI

About this repair

The 2015 iPad Pro 12.9 (1st gen, A1584/A1652) runs Apple's A9X chip behind a 2732×2048 fully laminated 60Hz Retina panel, so its glass, digitizer and LCD are bonded as one unit and a single crack means replacing the whole laminated assembly rather than just the glass. Its original Touch ID home button is cryptographically paired to the logic board, so we carefully transfer and recalibrate your existing button to keep fingerprint unlock working. On this first-gen 12.9 we also see the glued battery swell with age and lift the panel, which we address with controlled heat and fresh adhesive during reassembly.

Can you just replace the cracked glass on my 12.9 (1st gen) and keep the LCD?

No — the 2015 iPad Pro 12.9's glass and LCD are laminated into one bonded unit, so we replace the full assembly to guarantee touch response and image quality.

Will Touch ID still work after a screen repair on the first-gen 12.9?

Yes. Your home button is paired to this A9X iPad, so we transfer and recalibrate your original Touch ID button instead of fitting a new one, which would disable fingerprint unlock.

The edge of my first-gen 12.9 screen is lifting — is that the battery?

Usually, yes. The glued battery in the 2015 12.9 swells as it ages and pushes the laminated panel upward; we replace it and re-secure the large display flat.
