Hi guys, I´ve followed your steps to change the ipad front panel but I messed up the “digitizer ribbon cable ZIF sockets” trying to “prying up on the hinged retaining flaps” Can I buy just that part? the front panel its perfect but i miss-understood the steps and broke those connectors…. Did I need a new complete logic board? thanks a lot!

Replacing those connectors requires some micro-soldering so unless you have experience doing this kind of work, it is not really a DIY repair.

A repair shop that specializes in micro-soldering repair should be able to do this for you. Depending on where you are located, you’ll need to consider if it is a worthwhile investment for such an older device. Alternatively, you may be able to find a used logic board for less than the cost of the repair.
