Beachte das unbedingt bei Schritt 18! -

ACHTUNG: Bewege die Streifen niemals seitwärts! Die kleineren Kontakt können dabei leicht abbrechen und dann hast Du ein größeres Problem.
Der Teil ist besonders tricky - mit der Spielkarte habe ich es nicht geschafft, sondern mit dem Teil einer Plastikabdeckung, das ich (etwas schmaler als 6mm geschnitten) per Pinzette eingeschoben habe.

The spare part listed is for an iPad Air 4. Is this compatible with the ipad air 5?
Hi Dusun Tren,
The iPad Air 4 and 5 use physically identical screens. We swapped the screens and found them functional. As with most Apple product screen repairs, true tone will most likely disappear from settings after replacing the screen. It's case-by-case whether this will happen, but all other features are retained. Good luck with your repair!
Is it possible to replace only the glass while keeping the touch same or do we have to replace the whole unit
Unfortunately, this model of iPad combines the LCD and digitizer in one unit. Some iPad models have a separate digitizer + glass and LCD panel. In which case, you could replace just the digitizer and glass, like you mentioned.
Where can I find a replacement front camera bracket for my iPad Air 5 since Amazon and eBay don’t have them?
Hello
I got my iPad fixed after I dropped it on its corner ( the screen wasn’t cracked but it stopped working ), my iPad is working now but I can’t really use my Apple Pencil as the touch thing of the screen became somewhat broken as in when I click on certain areas of the screen it does not work when I told the repairman he told me that’s the best he could do. Is it fixable
Apple is serializing the Apple Pencil so that it will not draw lines straight when the screen is not replaced by Apple. Your only option is to get the iPad fixed at Apple or have the old displays chip soldered to the new one.

Hello again thank you for replying to me
The repairman harvested the LCD screen from another iPad he had so it’s basically as if Apple fixed it so the problem might be from somewhere else. Is there some instructions I could give him to fix it (there is no Apple Store in my country ).
I am no expert but I think the pen is married to the screen's serial number so using a different Apple screen won't work because of its different serial number. The repair man should have harvested the serial numbered chip from your original screen and transplant that to the replacement screen for the pen to work correctly.
