I accidently tore a cable or flex that was glued to the glass screen

Tear down videos on YouTube or ifixit are the best to look for,period.

Sometimes there is tape over random things that can be torn. But there is a flex cable(basically a bunch of flexible wires in one ribbon cable). There is a flex cable on the bottom right. I’ve done my brother’s iPad mini 2 digitizer replacement. It is very easy to tear it. If you upload a clear picture I can tell you if it is the flex or not. But if it is,you need to replace the digitizer,which requires disconnecting the battery,removing the silver plate that the lcd sits in,and disconnecting the flex fables. This is tedious and you have to be careful. Trust me,watch YouTube videos and look at the ifixit tear down guides before attempting this.

ifixit parts are typically good quality. I’d recommend ordering a digitizer from them and replacing it…

If the touch screen doesn’t work anymore,but the lcd still shows the apple logo and image,etc,then it’s obviously the flex cable for the digitizer that was torn.

Youre lucky if it was the digitizer that tore. It is much cheaper(like $30 sometimes) versus an lcd being at least least around $100,usually more that it’s worth.

I can help you more if needed.
