Apple iPad 5th Gen 9.7" 32GB Cellular A9 Cracked LCD Broken Screen For Parts

Apple iPad 5th Gen 32GB Cellular — For Parts Only

Important: This iPad 5 is sold strictly for parts only. The LCD is cracked and the screen is broken. The device is not functional for normal use. No warranty, no returns, no refunds — final sale. Suitable only for technicians, refurbishers, and parts harvesting.

A salvage source for genuine Apple A9 components: logic board with cellular modem, 9.7-inch Retina display assembly (cracked glass — components beneath may be reusable), 8MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, Lightning connector, Touch ID home button, aluminium housing, and internal cabling. Sold as-is by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001).

What You Can Salvage

• Apple A9 Logic Board: Includes 1.8GHz dual-core processor, M9 motion coprocessor, 2GB LPDDR4 RAM, and integrated 4G LTE cellular modem with Australian band support.
• 9.7-inch Retina Display Assembly: 2048×1536 LED-backlit IPS panel. Glass is cracked — backlight, digitiser flex, and internal panel may still be reusable for repair work.
• Camera Modules: 8MP rear iSight camera (f/2.4) and 1.2MP front FaceTime HD camera — both genuine Apple components.
• Touch ID Home Button: Fingerprint sensor mechanism (paired to original logic board) suitable for mechanical repair training.
• Cellular Hardware: Nano-SIM tray, antennas, and 4G LTE radio components compatible with Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone networks.
• Structural Components: Space Grey aluminium chassis, Lightning port, speakers, microphones, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antennas, and internal flex cables.

Intended Use

This unit is intended for parts recovery and repair work only. Repair technicians can harvest the logic board for component-level microsoldering, recover camera modules for use in other iPad 5 (A1822/A1823) units, or use the cellular hardware for replacement repairs. Refurbishment specialists can use individual components to restore functional iPad 5 devices, avoiding aftermarket parts that compromise quality.

Educators and trainers can use this device for hands-on disassembly practice without risking a working unit. DIY enthusiasts may salvage specific components like the 8MP rear camera, Lightning port assembly, or aluminium housing for personal repair projects.

This device cannot be used as a functional tablet. The screen is broken, and the LCD assembly will require replacement before the unit could be returned to working order — no guarantee of overall functionality is provided.

Is there a warranty?

No warranty applies to this unit. It is sold strictly as-is for parts recovery only.

What's the difference between Parts A and Parts B?

Both have cracked LCDs and broken screens. Parts A has lighter cosmetic wear on the housing; Parts B has heavier external wear, dents, or housing damage. Internal components are equally usable in both grades.
