Learn about your repair options
When you need to repair your iPad, you can choose between several options. For most customers, visiting a professional repair provider with certified technicians who use genuine Apple parts is the safest and most reliable way to get a repair. These providers include Apple and Apple Authorized Service Providers. Independent Repair Providers also have access to genuine Apple parts.* Repairs performed by untrained individuals using nongenuine parts might affect the safety of the device or functionality of the display. Apple displays are designed to fit precisely within the device. Additionally, repairs that don't properly replace screws or cowlings might leave behind loose parts that could damage the battery, cause overheating, or result in injury.
Depending on your location, you can get your iPad display replaced — in or out of warranty — by visiting an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, or by shipping your iPad to an Apple Repair Center. Genuine Apple parts are also available for out-of-warranty repairs from Independent Repair Providers.
Get started with display service
The iPad display is engineered together with iPadOS software for optimal performance and quality. A nongenuine display might cause compatibility or performance issues. For example, an issue might arise after an iPadOS software update that contains display updates.
If a service provider uses nongenuine display parts, the following might also occur:
Multi-Touch issues:
Multi-Touch might not respond on parts of the screen
Multi-Touch performance might degrade, such as missed screen touches or touches not registering in the right location
Accidental edge or palm touches might register
Apple Pencil performance and accuracy might degrade
Display brightness and color issues:
True Tone display might not function correctly
Ambient light sensor functionality might be lost or degraded, causing the screen to dim or brighten incorrectly
Display color calibration might be incorrect, causing, for example, the display to appear too yellow or blue
Display might not be uniformly bright
Maximum brightness might be lower
Battery might drain unintentionally
