Chosen Solution

Hey I had to reopen an iPad mini that I repaired. At first it was fine then it started going crazy. I also put capton tape across the bottom. My question is: if I resold the ribbon cable is it going to be ok or is the damage done?

Its almost always the IC on the digi flex cable. Its usually better to slap on a new digi and move on with your life. Its possible to desolder and resolder that chip. I did it one time to say I did it, then never touched another one. The risk v time v reward just isn’t there.
