Description
This FPC connector iPad Mini 1 (2012) is a compatible spare part intended for repairing the device by a private individual. It provides the electrical link between a flexible ribbon cable (FPC, Flexible Printed Circuit) and the motherboard or module it powers. When it is worn, dirty or partially detached, it can cause no signal, a screen that no longer responds, a button or area that does not work, or an intermittent contact.
Before you begin, switch the device off completely and, if possible, disconnect the battery before touching the ribbon cable or the connector. Work on a clean, anti-static surface, using a suitable tool to avoid forcing the tabs. An anti-static wrist strap or regular contact with a metal ground reduces the risk of discharge.
After reassembly, check that the ribbon cable is fully inserted and locked in place, then perform a power-on test before closing the casing. If the device contains a lithium battery, never puncture or bend it; a swollen battery must no longer be used.
Tips
- Switch off the device and disconnect the battery before working on it
- Use a fine, non-metallic tool for the tabs
- Check the alignment of the ribbon cable before locking it
- Test the device before closing the casing
- Do not use a swollen lithium battery
Fitting
Fitting guide: work with the device switched off, disconnect the battery before touching any flex cable, keep the screws in order and test the part before closing up. A question before ordering? Write to us.
