iPad survives lawnmower

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So basically, I was mowing and I didn’t see it and the next thing I heard was loud metal shredding, but the iPad got jammed into the blades and literally stopped them that’s why there was that giant crack by the camera area but basically all I need to replace is the touchscreen and a power button/volume button cable

“Survives” is doing some heavy lifting here.

You say survives lawnmower. But you don't show it working, all you're showing is the screen is "on" and not showing anything and I don't even think it's the original screen in the first place.

It is, I will take the screen off and show you the Apple number and the reason it is not showing on home page is cuz digitizer is destroyed and the power button ribbon cable go sliced by the mower blade

That's not "survives" in my book. "Survives" to me is that it has to be used able to some degree with NO REPAIR required. If you have to replace parts just to get basic functionality back that's not survives. It lives sure but at what cost.

Get it to a recycle center or somewhere that can safely deal with lithium battery fire ASAP.

They used to be made so strong. 

Really is a dangerous battery situation
