What tape should I cover the screen for cracked glass to open it?
I have an iPad 7th Gen I got for my wife a few years ago brand new from apple, it had gotten a small crack near the home button and the it got bit more and more and it’s pretty much cracked top to bottom digitizer only though. However now after it did the update from 16 to the 17 beta it is 100% lifeless and does not respond to any charging cord or brick usb c to lighting nothing, it isn’t in DfU mode or cutting on at all I tried it on and off for 2 days there’s no battery 🪫 icon like the batter is dead nothing. Anyway I need to open it up but I just wanted to ask what do you guys use to cover the screen so that it doesn’t shatter more and to keep the tiny glass particles in. I have used the Gorilla 2” packaging tape the stuff is indestructible and sticks like it hurts to pull off your skin. I just tape the entire thing in strips is there a better product and/or easier way I will be replacing the digitizer if the iPad is not broken beyond it’s worth to repair it. Thank you guys

I’ve heard it’s likely a chip issue that requires a reball usually which probably means it’s not worth repairing if this is the problem with them now in sept 2023 anyway. But I am still going to look and hope it’s something like a capacitor or something not getting a good connection but I’m not super optimistic. I don’t know why apple wasn’t obligated to offer a replacement due to a manufacturer defect for whatever causes the chip to need a rebelling I’m guessing the solder they used and it’s cracking due heat cycles like something else was maybe the ps 3’s or a gpu on something else I can’t remember.
