Process of replacing the iPad screen replacement

Unlike the newer models of iPhone’s, a few models of iPad do not have LCD and the touchscreen fused together as a single unit. The touchscreen and the LCD can be replaced separately for iPad1, iPad 2, iPad3, iPad 4, iPad Mini 1, iPad Mini 2, iPad Air 1, iPad Mini 3, and iPad 5. However, a few models of iPad such as iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 4, and iPad Pro have the LCD and Touchscreen fused together as a single unit, hence the whole unit has to be changed if there is a damage to the touchscreen.
