iPad 2 smashed screen how much to sell it?

IrishHomer · 05-03-2013 11:17PM #1

My beloved iPad 2 slipped from my hand and the screen smashed. There is also a small dent on the corner outer silver metal casing so I'm unsure if it could be repaired. Any ideas what it would fetch price wise if I try to sell it as it is? It still works but screen is badly cracked and small glass splinters are an issue. It's just the basic 16gb wifi version

Not a lot, I'd imagine. Too costly to repair.

Ill take it to "click" in Athlone today and see what they can do, they quoted €109 the other day without seeing it and takes an hour to repair at the store.

I know they're possibly a bit far from you, but look up rightclick, they have 2 stores in Dublin city, official apple repair centre. They've repaired my iphone and my daughters ipod perfectly and for less than I was expecting. Liked their attitude as well. www.right-click.ie (mod please remove if this breaches add rules)

There is no authorised repair centres in Ireland for iPhone. Only for Macs and maybe iPods I think.

They sell the replacement screen for €37. So they're charging €58 in labour.

For that money, I'd be inclined to buy the screen from them, download a walkthrough from the internet, and give it a go myself. Worst case is that you can't complete it, and you can bring it into them then.

Money is too hard to come by these days, and €58 certainly isn't to be sniffed at. They also sell the tool kit for it for about a fiver, incase you don't have the tiny screwdrivers.

You're up 50 quid if you do it yourself.

I tried that recently with an iPod touch and the new screen cracked trying to prise the glass into its final position, very tedious job, I got it repaired total cost at "click" was €129 as they had to repai a tiny dent in the corner of the body wheeit took fill impact. That was costly all because I tried to catch a clothes horse from falling while my crazy dog went mental in the kitchen after our cat

Update.

Very disappointed the iPad power button is not working now, it was working prior to the replacement glass being fitted.

Hope they acknowledge a mistake on their part and sort it after paying them €129

Happened to me too once I got a screen replaced in Galway on an iPad 2, didn't notice the power button until a week later and the guy fixed it when I went back.
