Step 2 Opening

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.

Step 3

If you have the special thermal tablecloth for tablets, just put the iPad on it, with the screen facing down and adjust the thermostat between 50 and 60 º C.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Separate the screen by pulling the suction cup leaving the lower part (where the home button is) by the data flexes.

Handle gently so as not to damage the data flexes.

Step 6

Remove the metal shield covering the connectors, secured by 3 Phillips screws.

Step 7

Disconnect the data flexes from the motherboard and separate the screen.

Step 8 screen

Peel off the stickers from the home button flex with fingerprint reader.

Step 9

Unplug the flex from the display, pressing the connector tab and pulling gently.

Step 10

Peel off the metal support that covers the button.

Step 11

Press on the front to release the key.

Step 12

Finally, take off the flex and remove the home button.
