Before starting, make sure the iPad is turned off.

To access the interior of the iPad, we must take off the screen. It has a strip of double-sided adhesive on the entire frame. We will apply heat to soften the adhesive and peel off easily.

We recommend the Hot Glass, a blanket filled with a gel of high thermal retention, suitable for microwaves.

Simply insert the Hot Glass in the microwave for a couple of minutes (see instructions) and apply heat directly to the screen.

You can also use the hot air nozzle of a soldering station to heat the screen.

Hold the screen with the suction cup.

Insert the tip of the prong under the glass and go around the contour to detach the adhesive.

Place thicker tines in the wedge-shaped areas.

Continue until you go all the way around, avoiding the lower side, where the Home button is located. It could damage the flex of the fingerprint reader.

Separate the glass, starting from the upper part and leaving the lower part together. This one carries the delicate data flex.

Remove the remaining adhesive, as well as the small pads that cover the screws in the 4 corners of the display.

Remove the 4 Phillips screws that hold the display.

Go over the contour of the display with the prong to avoid getting stuck with traces of adhesive.

We must turn the display, as we did with the touch screen, leaving the lower part together.

Remove the metal shield, held by 7 Phillips screws.

Remove the metal shield covering the connectors, held by 4 Phillips screws.

Disconnect the data flex from the display on the motherboard.

Unplug the data flexes on the motherboard and separate the touch screen.

Peel off the small tape covering the connector.

Disconnect the flex from the camera's motherboard.

Remove the plastic support.

Take off the front camera.

Remove the adhesive covering the flex connector.

Take off and disconnect the flex, pulling the connector tab and pulling gently.

Unplug the flex from the motherboard and remove the Phillips screw that holds the connector.

Finally, take off and remove the audio connector.
