• There are non-Apple technicians that offer repair services for iPads. Replacing a cracked screen costs $100-$200, depending on the model. For example, iHeart Repair offers glass-repairing service^[2] for iPad Mini for $190 and 2nd-4th generation iPads for $140.
• LCD and glass replacement can cost slightly more than replacing only cracked glass. Typically, LCD and glass replacement costs $150-$220, depending on the generation of the model.

• Depending on the service provided and the vendor, a customer should typically expect an iPad to be returned in full functioning order with the customer's apps and documents accessible.

• For iPad owners with the know-how and the proper tools, there are replacement parts available through parts retailers. For example, iFixit^[3] offers a variety of replacement parts for $10-$100, depending on the part.

• Websites such as iFixit offer a variety of instructional videos^[4] that provide detailed how-to guides for repairing various functions of the iPad.

• Apple provides answers to commonly asked questions about iPad repairs^[5] . Before contacting a third-party repair service, check to see if the iPad is under warranty or can be repaired or replaced by Apple. Some repairs are free for items still under warranty.
