A very important steps (starting from 1:25) about how to remove digitizer and how to AVOID damage to home button cable and to the antenna are skipped. Many other very important comments are skipped too. If you are beginner and come to look and learn from this video - trust me that's a wrong video to learn anything. Dislike.
Damn this is so much harder than replacements for a MacBook, was considering it for a family members iPad but doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle sadly
How long do you spend heating up the adhesive? Also! I used to have an iPad 7th Gen and it seemed to have the exact same issues, although I decided to just upgrade to the iPad Air (5th Generation)
@@takanumi3adl793 have you check the placement and connection? Did you secure the screw? Otherwise it can be a bad battery too. Have you check the cables and adaptor?
I have done a lot of repair/replace on my macpro laptop but this is way over my head ... how do I dispose of it since I cannot turn it on to get the info off the drive? do I smash it?
Good video. Would love to know where I can get the "credit card" sized plastic tools. Would an old credit card work as well? I will use this info to remove the Lithium battery from my aging iPad so I can dispose of it correctly. I've had some success handing one from my old MacBook to the folks at the Apple store. There may be other companies in your area to accept them.
@@DIYGeardo My local repair shop hunted thru the odd screws for my and now my daughter's Ipad is charging and acting normal. Without the screw it would only take enough charge to turn on.
@@DIYGeardo It worked. Without the screw it would barely take a charge - not completely dead butjust enough juice to turn on. With screw it went to 100%.
I haven't watched this in detail but I see a HUGE problem. The front is GLUED IN. You have to HEAT IT to open it. I worked as a tech for a decade. It is ALMOST GUARANTEED that you will SEVERELY DAMAGE your iPad trying this. SPEND THE MONEY TO HAVE IT DONE BY AN EXPERIENCED TECH PLACE. "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."
