iPad Broken Screen Data Recovery — Photos, Docs, Apps
Last Updated:
Like the iPhone, a smashed iPad screen doesn’t damage your data — the storage chips are unaffected by glass damage. Our service: workshop screen rig + your passcode, full data backup to your specified drive, you decide what to do with the iPad after.
iPads have a higher rate of broken-screen recovery than iPhones because they’re physically bigger + used more for stationary tasks (so when they fall, the impact is often less catastrophic). Recovery rate near 100% for broken-screen-only damage with known passcode.
Common Issues & How We Fix Them
Cracked screen, data intact
A smashed iPad screen does not put your files at risk. We back up your photos, notes and documents before any screen work, because the bonded glass-and-display can make data hard to reach once badly cracked.
Touch dead after the crack
If touch has stopped responding we recover your data through the workshop rather than relying on the damaged screen.
Won’t display anything
A black but powered iPad usually has a display fault, not lost data — we retrieve everything first.
We work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis: if your data cannot be recovered there is nothing to pay, and we give you a clear quote before any chargeable work begins.
