Imagine picking your iPad up to use it only to notice that the screen is completely shattered or broken. While iPads are durable, they are not made to be indestructible. A simple fall to something sharp tapping the screen can have devastating consequences and leave you with a device that is not so easy to use.

While a small crack in your iPad screen may not seem like a serious issue at first, the crack can grow in size and eventually cause issues with the way the screen appears and functions. In addition, large cracks can cut your fingers and reduce your ability to use the device.

So, now that you have discovered your iPad screen is broken, here is what you can and should do next.

How Badly Damaged Is the Screen?

Before you decide to take your tablet in for repairs, you may want to know if you have any other options. The first thing you should so is look at the iPad screen and see just how bad the damage really is. For example, is there a small crack in the corner of the screen or is the screen completely shattered?

If your iPad only has a very small crack, it may serve you better to just put a screen protector on your device and watch how the crack progresses. If the crack is small and does not affect what you do on your iPad, you may not need to fix it just yet. If you do have multiple cracks across the screen or cracks that are invading your visual space on the screen, you should get it repaired.

What Happens if I Do Not Fix a Crack?

A crack in your iPad screen is a concern, no matter its size because it has the potential to damage your iPad.

For instance, a large crack in the center of the screen, if left unrepaired, can allow water and dirt to get into your device. If water and dirt do get into your device, you may experience logic board damage or further damage to your screen.

Eventually, the crack will lead to significant damage, especially if it is left unrepaired.

Do Not Perform Your Own Screen Repairs

While screen repairs are important, you do NOT want to complete them on your own, especially if you are inexperienced. If you do attempt to replace your own screen, you could accidentally cause more damage. In addition, sometimes a crack causes more damage than just the screen and replacing the screen will only cover up additional damage that is present.
