If your screen is cracked or the display isn't working correctly, this guide will help you fix it step by step. Let's dive in!

Getting Started

To begin, you will need a few essential tools: a heat gun or hair dryer, a heat mat, isopropyl alcohol, a single-sided razor blade, plastic guitar picks, a small scraping tool, a plastic spudger, and a UV curing lamp. These tools will make the process much smoother and ensure you don't damage any internal components.

Start by placing the iPad face down on the heat mat set to about 75°C for approximately 10 minutes. The purpose of this is to soften the adhesive holding the digitizer (the glass part of the screen) in place. Once the iPad has warmed up, flip it back over.

If your iPad has any additional attachments, such as a ring holder, it's best to leave it in place to avoid customer dissatisfaction. Begin by applying isopropyl alcohol to the edge of the iPad, soaking it into the gap between the screen and the digitizer. This will help loosen the adhesive further.

Removing the Digitizer

Use a single-sided razor blade to create a small gap between the chassis and the digitizer. Insert a plastic guitar pick into this gap and carefully run it along the edge of the screen. Insert the pick only a few millimeters at a time to avoid damaging the LCD beneath the glass. Lift the digitizer gently with your fingers while cutting through the adhesive.

Once thе adhesive is cut tһrough, yоu can lift the digitizer аѡay from the chassis. Тhe digitizer opens uρ ⅼike a book, with the cables located ᧐n оne siԁe. Be cautious not to touch tһe right-hand edge as it іsn't necesѕary fоr opening the iPad.
