I purchased a Refurbished iPad mini a few months ago and now it is ghost typing outside of the 30 day warranty period. What is the problem and can a lay person such as myself repair it? Thanks
janicelovon , Do a factory reset as a first step, as this has cured the ghosting for a lot of devices. Then when you start reintroducing App,s,etc., watch to see which may be affecting your device. If reset does not fix the ghosting you may have a loose connection or failing/faulty digitizer. The 1st link below will show(video) how to open the device so you can reseat connections or change the digitizer glass, 2nd link choose your model, and see detailed written instruction to show how to open device and replacing the display assy. which is a much easier process but naturally cost more. Also find 3rd link to replacement digitizer and 4th link choose your model for quality replacement screen assy. if opt to go that way. If not wanting to tackle the repair stop into a good local cell/computer repair shop for an estimate. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfH7o8bV… iPad Mini 1st Generation Repair http://www.ebay.com/bhp/ipad-mini-digiti… https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPad
