Had identical problem, gave it to be repaired to a local company and had it returned a week later telling me that it can't be repaired. Then, stupidly took my ipad to a "repair shop" in Wimbledon, who did not have a clue what they were doing, I guess they got it damaged even more, returned it opened and dirty, just unbelievable. Spent a few days searching online and speaking to a number of people and found the guys in Nottingham (The Computer Room Nottingham, dealt with Leon) who assured they can get it repaired. Sent it to them and got back in a couple of weeks time, amazing!
