Read full reviewIs this your iPad 8 (2020)?
This guide is for the 8th-generation iPad introduced in 2020, with a 10.2-inch display, physical Home button and Lightning connector. Model numbers include A2270, A2428, A2429 or A2430. Check the number in Settings or on the casing and tell us whether it is Wi-Fi or cellular. Similar names, screen sizes and storage capacities do not establish that repair parts are interchangeable.
Repair information
How your repair enquiry works
- Identify the iPad and describe the symptoms, including damage or previous repairs.
- Choose workshop, home visit, collection or postal when requesting a quote. Availability and arrangements are confirmed before proceeding.
- Review the assessment, proposed repair and quote before authorising work.
Which camera or app is affected?
Tell us whether the front or rear camera is affected, whether switching cameras changes the result and whether the problem occurs in more than one app. Examples include a black preview, persistent blur, visible cover damage or an app that will not open the camera. Include any impact, liquid exposure or earlier screen work.
What matters for iPad 8 camera repair
The iPad 8 has a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera and 8MP rear camera. Its front-camera specification differs from the 12MP Ultra Wide front camera of the iPad 9; a shared 10.2-inch screen size is not a camera-part identifier. Explain whether one camera works while the other fails.
Camera hardware and other possible causes
The outer cover, camera assembly, connection or software can produce different image problems. Assessment is needed before choosing a part. If the issue is sound during a video call, mention it separately because the microphone may need checking as well. We confirm the affected function, proposed work and limitations rather than treating every video-call problem as a camera replacement.
Image and video checks after repair
Checks relate to the reported symptom: opening the affected camera, taking a photograph or video, switching between cameras where relevant and checking the image. Let us know which app normally shows the problem without sharing private pictures. Any microphone or audio symptoms should remain part of the agreed assessment, rather than being assumed resolved by camera work.
Preparing your enquiry and repair route
Back up accessible data and tell us about important data that is not backed up, previous opening, liquid exposure and existing screen damage. The quote link retains this model and the repair topic. Choose workshop, home visit, collection or postal and check the details before submitting. These are requests subject to assessment and route availability. Wait for confirmation and packing guidance before sending an iPad; a form submission does not confirm an appointment.

Your repair questions
Can a camera repair also resolve missing sound during calls?
Not necessarily. Camera images and microphone input are different functions. Describe both symptoms so the appropriate assessment can be agreed.
Is this guide for every 10.2-inch iPad?
No. It is for iPad 8 (2020), including its Wi-Fi and cellular versions subject to identification and parts assessment. Tell us the model number, which may be A2270, A2428, A2429 or A2430; the display size alone is insufficient.
How are price and turnaround confirmed?
We assess the symptoms and condition, check the proposed parts and explain the quote and likely turnaround before work begins. No fixed price, stock availability or same-day completion is promised from the model name alone.
Will I have to select the iPad again?
The quote link carries iPad 8 (2020) and Camera Repair into the booking journey. Choose the repair route and review the selected device and fault before submitting.
