Hi, I’ve had an iPad mini come to me which has been dropped and a complaint that the replacement digitizer doesn’t work. On inspection, there seems to be a missing surface mount component which has been dislodged and mislaid. Can anyone identify the component?
that is normal–those solder pads are placeholders and do not hold a component. If it is an aftermarket digitizer presoldered assembly, the aftermarket touchscreen ic would be my first suspect.
