I was just turning around to grab something when I accidentally dropped my iPad mini—screen cracked right away.
Apple’s mail-in repair would cost 180 RMB, so I figured, might as well do it myself!
Honestly, fixing an iPad isn’t that hard. A quick trip to Taobao, and I got a replacement touch screen for around 50 RMB, compatible with my model.
Turns out, iPads are basically glued together. So it was all about heat from a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, careful scraping with a knife… Three hours later, mission accomplished!

Good as new. :)
Well, except for the original screen—it didn’t fare so well…
