Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team
Our senior UK engineering team at Atlantis has over 20 years of experience in board-level diagnostics and tablet assembly. Repairing the iPad Mini 1, 2, or 3 requires delicate heat calibration to separate the shattered glass from the magnesium chassis without damaging the LCD or the internal Wi-Fi antennas. Every iPad repair is conducted in our controlled laboratory environment, ensuring your device returns to you with perfect touch sensitivity and structural integrity.
Process & Protection
- Calibrated Heat: Calibrated heat is applied to lift the shattered glass from the frame safely.
- LCD Isolation: The LCD panel is carefully removed and protected to prevent dust intrusion.
- IC Chip Transfer: We migrate the original IC chip to the new digitiser to maintain perfect touch response.
- Frame Preparation: The chassis is cleared of all old adhesive and glass shards for a flush fit.
- Precision Seal: Using industrial Tesa adhesive, the new panel is bonded for a factory finish.
- Quality Check: Multi-point testing of the digitiser and home button functionality.
Common Symptoms Fixed
- Shattered or cracked front glass with the LCD still working.
- "Ghost touching" where the iPad opens apps by itself.
- Dead spots on the screen that do not respond to touch.
- Glass shards protruding from the tablet corners.
- Home button is loose or non-responsive due to glass damage.

Questions and Answers
Is the LCD included in this repair? No. This £59.99 fixed price is for the outer glass digitiser for the Mini 1, 2, and 3 only. If your internal display has ink blotches or lines, you will need a separate LCD replacement.
Will my data be safe? Yes. This is a purely external hardware repair. We do not touch your internal storage, so all photos and apps will remain exactly as they were.
People Also Ask (Q&A)
Does this include Touch ID for the iPad Mini 3? Yes. We carefully transfer your original home button to the new digitiser. For the Mini 3, this preserves your original Touch ID fingerprint functionality.
How long does the iPad Mini screen repair take? Using our postal service, the device is usually returned within 3-5 working days. In-store Canterbury customers can often have this fixed within the same day.

Technical Details & Why Choose Us
Technical Details: The iPad Mini 1, 2, and 3 utilise a non-laminated display architecture, meaning the capacitive glass digitiser is a separate component from the LCD. The digitiser flex is bonded to the main board under the LCD assembly. Our repair involves the precision transfer of the original IC touch controller to prevent 'ghosting' issues common with inferior parts. We use high-grade aluminosilicate glass with oleophobic treatment for a factory feel.
