Hello-I am working on multiple iPads for a local school district. Had to do just an LCD repair on one of their iPad 6’s and they brought me iPad Air LCDs to use for the parts. However when I install both of them, they have a distorted image and cause a boot loop. They physically fit and line up properly so was wondering if anyone knew exactly? I don’t think the parts are brand new.
Not compatible. The iPad air 1st gen LCDs only work on the air 1 and 5th gen but not the 6th generation one due to different display driver.
No they are not supported. You have to use the proper LCDs in this model. It will kinda work but it will have distortion like you mentioned above. You can read more about the compatibility between the two at: https://ifixit.org/blog/8977/2017-ipad-p…
