I'm not sure if it would. I know when my husband did it he had to use the same home button on it.

I would say NO. I am skilled/handy man and my attempt to replace screen failed. further investigation has revealed some tech experts have also failed. Mt suggestion, see U tube then send pay a repair shop.

that would be something you would have to take up with the company, I have no idea if they would send you a new one. I can tell you it's really hard to get in touch with our customer service because I tried to do the same thing after the top piece by the power button split, I wanted to see if I could get a new top piece without getting a whole new battery pack and never got an answer back.

the digitizer is attached to the screen, so i'm not sure if you can just replace the one.

You could try holding the power button for 20 seconds and see what happens. Though I think the battery might be the problem, and since you can't remove it, you're going to have to contact the technical assistance.

After replacing my LCD mine was blank as well. It seemed to work because I could hear sounds. I was fortunate to have another mini so I mapped out the screen (location of buttons) and was able to unlock the mini and reset it. The screen works fine now. I guess the software just needs to be reset. Maybe a full power down and back would work as well but you would need to identify where you need to swipe to power it off.

I didn't replace it yet. YouTube has a bunch of video clips how to replace the screen.

Probably won't fix the problem, but you can find out by removing the keyboard and hit the power button to be 100% sure. If it turns on without the keyboard, then you know it's only the keyboard, but in all my experience a keyboard doesn't usually cause that. YT has a video or two you can watch to see how to remove the keyboard, it's pretty easy, but a bit tough to explain via text.

If you screen is still working that means only the front glass is broken.However, it's challenging to remove it and change it.It would be better get a new LCD screen...

Yes this would be the appropriate part for your replacement as it is the LCD that has cracked. If the picture never shows up, then it is the LCD but your screen is perfectly functional. Try looking for just the LCD instead it can be much cheaper than buying both and spending more on a part that you don't need. This is all the help I can offer you- Ethan

If the screen still works i.e you can click icons etc. The you do not need the digitizer and this will work. If the screen is black and will not turn on and/or perform any touch tasks you need the digitizer

If the case is charged then the silver power button at the bottom should turn it on. If not, the device might be broken.

yes. when you install it check all the white wires along the edge of the lcd screen. My power board fried because the wires along the edge of he lcd overlap and over time the wire coating melts shorting the wires out. My fix: separate the melted wires, then fold electrical tape long-ways over the white wires to keep them from melting again. then install your replacement power board. My LCD is like brand new now perfect bright picture. Hope that helps ya.

If its the actual screen that is messed up it may not be repairable. There is not alot of adjustment that can be made with the display. If you havnt had it to long i would see about sending it back.

Yes it worked for me. I had stepped on the screen and ruined it. Ordered this, then took it to a small private computer shop and the fixed it

No if the screen is cracked that means the LED is broken. So the replacement glass would do nothing for you.

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.
