If the screen is just broken its a matter of the LCD screen the top glass is included if this is the model that you need it is the correct size. Make sure the resolution and aspect ratio is the correct type and if possible dissemble the screen and check the parts number which should be located on the bottom center on the back of the screen.

The prokit it's just the glass and its very difficult to replace it and it doesn't look very good. The best thing is to replace the complete LCD.

The digitizer IS the glass, the LCD is behind that; usually when its broken it is only the digitizer/glass and that is why your screen may still work. If the screen still works under the broken glass/digitizer you actually only need to replace that which is about 1/2 the price but MUCH harder to do as you have to separate the digitizer from the LCD

If the it's only the screen that is cracked, then all you need is the front glass which can be installed using a tutorial guide on YouTube. If the screen won't display some images, then you will have to buy a new LCD as well.

You need to get the glass panel with the LCD screen digitizer all together. It cost me $57.00 and the 3m glue that's recommended. It was an easy fix, unfortunately my teenagers were using it without a case and broke it again. My son tried ordering a replacement for $28.00 and it only the glass panel.Return what you purchased and order the whole thing together. Good luck.

You could replace the screen yourself that is if the digitizer is not broken.I tried to do just that (very tedious thing to do) and was not successful,ended up buying the whole unit Screen and digitizer fully assembled and easier to install. Look for installation video on youtube. Good luck.

Yes! The tools are the same. I was able to replace the screen very easily (mind you, I had 0 experience doing so..) just follow instructions provided on YouTube. Remember: do not touch the LCD screen on the bottom, smudges or even drops of liquids will never come off! Wear gloves at all times if possible and be careful with heating gun- it could get hot while removing the original glue from cracked glass. Also, you may want to replace old glue with superglue gel.Best of luck! And just do it yourself!! Everyone out there wants to charge over $100.?

If I understand your question correctly, yes. I broke my lcd, digitizer and glass. This part arrived with all three of those broken components pre-assembled. Its an extremely easy fix. Let me know if you have additional questions. I used youtube as an instruction guide to complete the repair

Sure, there are sevaral "How to replace" videos on youtube... Check that, this kit is the LCD display, I don't know if yours is damaged. If it's only the glass you should not buy this.

You broke the LCD, you're going to need at least a new LCD, probably the "easiest" thing would be to simply get a new LCD/digitizer glass assembly and swap out the whole unit.

No, you would need a new LCD screen. Additionally, you might have a damaged main-board, this is something you have to test for.

You may not want to go this route. Even though replacing just the glass is the cheapest it is also the most time consuming and skill demanding repair. The glass, digitizer and LCD are fused together. Buying the $95-99 part with the tool kit is the best way. use iFixit.com to learn how to do the repair.

You don't actually buy a new LCD. You can buy just the little light. Installing it is a monster pain though. There are several tutorials on youtube however.

If your lcd is broken then yes this is what you need. Becareful when removing the screen in front of lcd -- you'll need a heat gun to warm up glue to make t easier to take off and can melt edges as well as crack it. It's hard to do with out experience

Well, if you haven't removed your cracked glass yet, you will need a heat gun and plastic pry tools and/or molybine super thin wire to separate glass from LCD screen. Very tedious job that needs patience or else you will ruin LCD. If you have a LCD already new with no glass on it, the correct way to put new glass on is with liquid UV loca glue just like it's done from the factory. You can youtube how to do that. If you don't want to use uv glue, you can go easy route and just put the adhesive glass comes with at the top and bottom and the thin pieces on the sides. Be sure not to have any on the actual LCD as it will show when you put glass on.. It's not the rite way but will work. Just the touch function will not work at it's best like uv liquid loca glue that fills gap between LCD and glass.. You can dry the uv liquid glue with a uv black light or uv led flashlight or leave in sun for 30 minutes at a time checking it's dryness. Any questions just email me at AppleRepairMan27@gmail.com

I couldnt remove the old connector (that part that hangs out at the bottom of the screen) without damaging the LCD part. At the end I had to order the all LCD panel (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009OZVUK6/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which work perfectly.
