iPad Pro 12.9 repair keeps coming back — what am I missing?
I've been struggling with iPad Pro 12.9 repairs lately. I've had multiple customers come back with the same issue after I replaced their screens. It seems like either the touch functionality is spotty or the display is flickering. I've gone through a few suppliers and their parts don't seem to be consistently reliable. I'm starting to think that maybe I'm missing a step in the repair process or something else entirely. Any advice on common pitfalls or part sources would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue with the iPad Pro 12.9 a few months back. I found that sometimes the connectors can be slightly damaged during the repair process, leading to those flickering and touch issues. Make sure you're using a heat gun to soften the adhesive without causing any damage. Also, I recommend sourcing your parts from reputable vendors like iFixit or Mobile Defenders, as they tend to have better quality control. Don't forget to double-check the connectors and cables for any signs of wear or damage before reassembling. Good luck!
It could be worth looking into the software side too. Sometimes after a screen replacement, calibration issues can arise. Be sure to run a full diagnostic check after the repair. I’ve had success using a tool like PhoneCheck or similar diagnostic software to ensure everything is functioning correctly after a repair. Also, consider charging a nominal fee for a follow-up check after a week or two; it can help catch issues early and improve customer satisfaction.
