  • I fixed a bent iPad 2 using a rubber mallet and a short piece of wood on a good flat wooden bench. Hey, I didn’t feel like busting out the heat gun and all that nonsense for the glued on touchscreen just for a bent metal frame, so I took a chance.

    At worst, the touchscreen might have broke in the process, but that would have only set me back $7 and an extra 45 minutes. But it worked perfectly, flattened out correctly, didn’t break anything, and I got to go to lunch like 45 minutes early.

    I don’t recommend this approach though.
