    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Place an object under your iPad so it rests level between the suction cups.

    • Position the suction cups near the middle of the left edge—one on the top, and one on the bottom.

    • Hold the bottom of the Anti-Clamp steady and firmly press down on the top cup to apply suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPad is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, use tape to create a grippier surface.

    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • If your screen isn't getting hot enough, you can use a hair dryer to heat along the left edge of the iPad.

    • For complete instructions on how to use a hair dryer, check out this guide.

    • Insert an opening pick under the digitizer when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next step.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Once the screen is warm to touch, apply a suction handle to the left edge of the screen and as close to the edge as possible.

    • Lift the screen with the suction handle to create a small gap between the digitizer and the frame.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap between the digitizer and the frame.

    • Insert a second opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the pick toward the bottom-left corner of the device to separate the adhesive.

    • Leave the pick in the bottom-left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

    • Don't worry if you can see the opening pick through the digitizer—just pull the pick out. The LCD screen shouldn't be damaged, but you risk leaving behind hard-to-clean adhesive.

    • Insert a new opening pick and slide it to the middle of the iPad's right edge.

    • The display cables are located approximately halfway from the bottom of the iPad. Stop sliding once you reach three inches from the bottom of the iPad.

    There are sensitive display/digitizer cables no less than five inches from the bottom edge of the iPad. Insert the pick further down than this, or deeper than 1mm beyond this point and you risk irreparably damaging these cables.

    Three inches is much too far down this side of the iPad to use picks.

    • Insert a new opening pick into the gap you just created on the bottom edge of the iPad.

    • Slide the pick over the antenna, stopping just before the home button.

    • Only slide the pick towards the home button and not away from it, as you may damage the antenna.

    • If you need to slide the pick over this section again, remove and re-insert it at the bottom-left corner.

    • Be very careful with this step. Take your time, ensure the adhesive is hot and soft, and make sure you separated all of the adhesive with a pick. Don't be afraid to stop and reheat.

    • Twist the two opening picks on the left corners of the iPad to lift the digitizer slightly, separating the the last of the adhesive in the process.

    • If there's a significant amount of resistance, reheat the edges and work along them with an opening pick.

  25. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: шаг 25, изображение 1 из 2 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: шаг 25, изображение 2 из 2

  27. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: шаг 27, изображение 1 из 2 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: шаг 27, изображение 2 из 2
    • Once all of the adhesive has been separated, open the digitizer like a book and rest it parallel to the iPad.

    • During reassembly, clean the remaining adhesive from the frame—and the digitizer if you're re-using it—with isopropyl alcohol. Replace the adhesive with our adhesive strips or pre-cut adhesive cards.

    • Be mindful of the display cables when reassembling the device. Make sure they are folded properly underneath the LCD screen to prevent any damage.

    While reassembling, REALLY make sure the display cables and the home button cable won't be folded / bent while closing the digitizer. I'm not exactly sure what I did, but I broke the home button and touch ID since I bent the home button cable to the point that it broke. These ribbon cables are SUPER fragile.

    • Remove the four Phillips #00 4.3 mm screws securing the LCD.

    Both of the iPad 6th gen models i have seen so for (note they were cellular also) had the LCD secured with a grey silicone kind of adhesive in each corner under the screws. So you can’t just lift the LCD as you normally would after removing screws, it would break. I found you could pick at the corner closest to the rear camera easiest, slightly lift that corner and gently separate the other side next to the headphone jack. Then while supporting the LCD , lever the other end free with a up-and-down motion making slight progress each time.

    I found the same thing on my 32GB wifi only ipad. Was unable to lift the screen off once I’d removed the screws so followed the instructions above and gently prized the screen up from the top left-hand screw bracket and it came away. Then moved onto the top right hand one.

    One YouTube video said to dig all that glue out. I didn’t and it seems to not hurt to leave it there but you do have to break free from it.

    On my iPad 6, there were small rubber tabs covering the two screws on the front camera side. I carefully held them out of place with tweezers while unscrewing the screws.

    • Do not attempt to fully remove the LCD. It is still connected to the iPad by several cables at the home button end. Lift only from the front-facing camera end.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the LCD out of its recess just enough to grab it with your fingers. There may be glue around the screw holes that needs to be cut with a knife.

    • Flip the iPad LCD like a page in a book, lifting near the camera and turning it over the home button end of the rear case.

    • Be gentle and keep an eye on the LCD cables as you flip the display over.

    • Lay the LCD on its face to allow access to the display cables.

    • Set the LCD down on a soft, clean, lint-free surface.

    When you replace the LCD be sure to make sure it is screwed in fully. It is easy not, especially on the cornet where the digitizer cables are. The LCD is very sensitive and if you bend it then it can stop working. I was just pressing the digitized in place at the end of a repair and the screen was covered in white lines.

    • These photos show what the battery connector looks like underneath the logic board. Use these photos as a reference while you safely disconnect the battery.

    • Notice that the battery connector has cantilever springs on the logic board that press against the battery contact pads. Since both the logic board and battery are glued down, you'll need to slide something thin and flexible between the contact points to disconnect the battery.

    • Remove the single 2.3 mm Phillips #000 screw securing the battery connector to the logic board.

    • To reduce the risk of a short, you can use a battery isolation pick to disconnect the battery.

    • Slide the battery blocker underneath the logic board's battery connector at a 35 degree angle.

    • Don't push the battery blocker underneath the connector with excessive force. If you're having trouble fitting the battery blocker underneath the logic board, you can try using a playing card to disconnect the battery instead.

    • The battery blocker or playing card ideally should slide under the logic board without encountering any blockages. After insertion, it should rest at a 15 degree angle.

    • Leave the battery blocker in place as you work.

    If you insert a regular pick without a gap then you can damage this connector and will need a new motherboard. If in doubt just insert into the left corner enough to raise it a tiny bit. Arguably, if you are not sure, then it is safer just power off and don’t power back on until everything is fully connected. A photo of how this connector looks with its cover off would really help for people that have not seen this type of battery connector before. You just need to get it to lift a tiny bit, Do not try to slide anything under the contacts….

    I bumped this darn thing several times, it was twisted and skewed making me freak out but the iPad still works. I am thinking you should pull it out and put the screw back in right after the LCD is removed. Then use it again just before putting the LCD screen back in. The pick is sticking out there waitng to be be bumped.

    Hi Robin,

    Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pull the battery connector out of the logic board. If you try to pry this connector off, you will irreparably damage it. The easiest solution is to insert the battery blocker in-between to cut the power.

    Arthur Shi -

    The battery isolation pick or battery blocker is an outdated way of isolating the battery, as you risk damaging the battery pins underneath the logic board.

    So what is the new method?

    Wil Thieme - Ответить

    This is my question as well. Seems like this phrase contradicts the instructions. Confusing. Any reply?

    Melissa Hoffman -

    We are currently working on a better isolation procedure! In the meantime, I’ve updated the warning to hopefully clarify the issue.

    Arthur Shi -

    Why do you need to “To reduce the risk of a short”? There does not seem to by any risk of a “short” in this process. I can see other reasons for disconnecting the battery. I am an electrical engineer so I would appreciate a professional grade answer to this question.

    Rumboogy - Ответить

    I’ll give it a shot!

    When you remove the screw, it doesn’t disconnect the battery, as the connector uses spring contacts to touch the battery pads.

    If you leave the battery connected, it leaves the logic board energized. As there are many exposed traces and SMT components on the logic board, there is a chance that you accidentally bridge a trace with a metal tool, resulting damage. In addition, the display connector contains tiny pins, and the pinout is such that if you pry the connector from an energized logic board, there is a chance that a voltage rail pin may accidentally touch something it shouldn’t, blowing out the backlight circuitry.

    Take a waterproof playing card, cut out the shape of the battery blocker and slide that under. Battery blocked and pins not at risk of damage. Got that from a YouTube video made by a microsolder repair tech fixing the damage caused by jamming a blocker in between the contacts.

    Melody Fraysier - Ответить

    Thanks for the tip Melody! I’ve updated the instructions to include the playing card method.

    Arthur Shi -

    I could not for the life of me get the playing card in there, but my iPad was turned off, so I decided to ‘risk’ a short, instead of potentially damaging the battery connectors by jamming the card in there as hard as possible. My repair went fine, no short, however I realized AFTER closing everything up that I forgot to put the battery screw back in. Really hoping this doesn’t become an issue long term, because I don’t want to pry this brand new screen off just to put the battery in.

    Janie Hughes - Ответить

    Let us know! I wasn't able to use the screw again after removing the battery blocker. Now my iPad turns off and on every so many minutes and when it restarts it's 1% and then shows actual charge.

    Martin Hinojosa -

    When you come to screw this back together, do not overestimate how little force it takes to strip the thread on this #000 screw. I did, and I now I can't screw this back down and have the problem where the iPad restarts every 3 mins 20 sec after you turn it on due to a poor connection here. I've used card to pack this out so the LCD puts a little clamping force on the terminal once you screw it back in, but it's not really enough so the iPad still suddenly restarts occasionally.

    I use a small screwdriver and pry underneath that brown bracket from the top edge by the camera (with the elongated metal cover removed of course) all the way before the battery, then lift up just enough for me to unhinged the battery out of the secure post. I don't know why Apple has to go through ALL THIS just to connect the battery since there is a small screw AND ADHESIVE securing it anyway. Nonetheless the whole job (replacing the lcd screen and battery was a major pain in the neck!

    I did the whole repair but this part is the problem HELP !!! I unlocked it but it took me 1 hour to carefully pull out the HOME BUTTON RIBBON CABLE. It finally came out with tweezers but now I CAN'T GET IT BACK IN and as a result my touch I.D. won't activate. It seems there was a tiny bit of black tape overlapping the connector on the ribbon which I carefully cut off exposing only the connector on the ribbon itself but how the heck does it slide in before you lock it. It seems easy on Youtube videos but mine just doesn't slide in with hand or with tweezers. OR in fact is there another connector that controls the TOUCH I.D. ???

    • Use a the flat end of a spudger or a fingernail to carefully pop the two digitizer cable connectors straight up from their sockets.

    • To avoid damaging your iPad, pry only on the connectors themselves, not on the socket on the logic board.

    • During reassembly, make sure that these connectors are completely seated in their sockets, or you may encounter display issues.

    • Remove the front panel assembly.

    • If you experience "ghost" or "phantom" touch input issues with your new display, this can be resolved by adding a layer of very thin insulating tape, such as Kapton (polyimide) tape, to the highlighted areas on the back of the panel. iFixit panels come with the proper insulation, and should not require the addition of any tape.

    • Without the proper insulation, these areas of the digitizer can ground out against other components, causing touch input malfunction.

    • The insulation is not visible to the naked eye, and is different from the foam dust barrier strips found on many iPads.

    • Insert an opening pick between the metal shield and the front panel and gently pry it from the digitizer.

    I lifted the metal shield from the outside edge so not to tear the ribbon cable. I think I even used the razor blade (the tool of last resort).

    • Gently peel the metal contact from the home button bracket.

    I ripped the ribbon cable out of the button at this step… be extremely gentle!

    James - Ответить

    So what exactly does this metal contact do? Can the HB work without that single gold contact?

    Perrin Aybara - Ответить

    Can anyone answer this question? The gold metal rectangle contact ripped off even horizontally with the rest of the home button cable. Do I need to order a whole new home button with cable? Or will I at least get functionality from the home button, only missing that little gold rectangle ?

    PC Ops -

    I ripped mine. Reattached the metal contact to the cable with some tape as best as I could. The button and touch ID work, so not sure if the metal contact is absolutely needed…? If it’s just for grounding?

    Joshua Schoemmell -

    Thank you for showing the bracket up close!

    Dvi - Ответить

    EXTREME CAUTION!!! The little metal contact is very fragile. I ripped mine off. Well, when I say ripped I mean I breathed on it.

    I would suggest maybe warming that part up before pulling and don’t just pull up from the main ribbon. Work it slowly.

    David Raines - Ответить

    CAUTION!!! that little gold contact got me too!! Please update the instructions to include this.

    Jennifer Altamirano - Ответить

    Did you find out if the home button still works without the rectangular gold contact?

    PC Ops -

    I wish I didn’t peel this last piece off, I don’t think you need to. It seems to be what keeps the bracket lined up over the button. Now I have to try to glue it back on perfectly so the bracket is centered over the home button.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the home button bracket off the back of the front panel.

    • When reattaching the home button bracket, use a dab of adhesive or double-sided tape to secure the bracket in place.

    • Once you've separated one side of the home button bracket, firmly grasp the bracket and peel it off the front panel.

    I'd recommend using something stronger than double sided tape. I completed this whole repair without too much lasting trouble, but the biggest issue was I didn’t get the home bracket secured firmly enough. A few weeks after the repair, the home button got pressed in and lodged under the hole cut for it, so I can’t unlock my iPad at all (the home button can’t be “pressed” in its current state). So I’m ordering a second screen and have to go through everything again. This time I’m using super glue to get that thing welded on there. If anything breaks in the future, I’m just getting a new iPad.

    Micah Sledge - Ответить

    I had this problem too. Very frustrating. Not sure what I’d do to fix this. If you are repairing this for someone else, then super glue would not be the best option.

    MYMS! - Ответить

    I don’t see why iFixit does not simply sell an optional iPad screen with a new home button pre-installed - other competing companies do it, and with iFixit’s pro reputation, having a pre-installed option would certainly be an excellent sales option. My 2¢ worth.

    dlcatftwin - Ответить

    The home button that came with your iPad is the only one that will allow touchID to function. This is why this must be migrated from the old to the new screen. Of course, if your iPad does not have touchID, this is not a concern.

    TIP FOR HOME BUTTON REMOVAL

    I found it to be simpler by using the same pry tool shown in the image and pry the tab furthest from the flex cable. Its an easy start knowing that if you damage the cable you can loose Touch ID permanently.

    My steps were basically as follows in this specific order:

    1. Using a guitar pick, release the cable from the adhesive and SLOWLY lift up the cable and the components with it

    2. Once you reach the tabs that hold the home button in place, pry the tab furthest from the flex cable (this requires a little more force)

    3. Once the tab furthest from the home button is lifted away, you can hold on to the metal piece (The whole tab) and lift it away safely.

    4. Using your finger, press in the home button to release it from the glass and your done.

    After replacement m home button works fine, but it’s very loose in the housing. I can tip it around by moving my fingers to the edges. Any ideas what I did wrong?

    Mike van Grunsven - Ответить

    I had to use far more pressure to remove the bracket than I was comfortable with and when it came loose it went flying. Re-attaching is easy, but I used some hobby glue to secure it in place, so if the screen breaks again, that part is NOT coming off again. I’m guessing because I did this I don’t have the “depressed” issues that others have described, it seems to be like new at this point.

    David Yutzy - Ответить

    I agree, the bracket needs glueing when refitting. Replaced the glass on my iPad and after a couple of days the home button came loose and stopped working. Now i just broke the glass when opening the iPad to fix the home button bracket. I love my life! :-)

    Mats Fredholm - Ответить

    I used a piece of the rectangular section of an adhesive strip cut to the exact size of the home button bracket feet to reattach it to the digitizer for reassembly. It is very strong and worked better than double sided tape or glue.

    Clifford Sullivan - Ответить

    agree. I did same. Also do not forget to remove protective film from the inner side of the new digitizer. Do it before you start reassembly.

    • Press the home button from the external side of the digitizer to break up the adhesive holding it in place.

    • Apply pressure slowly. The adhesive is attached to a delicate gasket that will tear easily.

    Are these last several steps necessary in just replacing the front glass panel that is cracked? my ipad is a wi-fi only

    Joe Hall - Ответить

    Yes, even if you’re only replacing the front glass panel, you still have to transfer your original home button from the old panel to the replacement. Even if the new panel comes with a new home button, Touch ID will only work with the original home button.

    Adam O'Camb -

    Buy an extra home button adhesive gasket. The adhesive from the original will not be reusable

    John Marx - Ответить

    I second this advice. I skipped it the first time, and the home button was too wiggly (although it worked). Now that I’ve replaced the screen a 2nd time (ugh), this time adding a new gasket, it’s a bit more firm, but still more wiggly than originally. If you don’t mind the button being lose, you probably can reuse the gasket, but if I have to do this again, I’ll probably get another gasket.

    Gary Wolfe -

    Yep, tore mine even as delicate as could be. I would highly recommend hitting the home button with a heat gun prior to attempting to remove. On the plus side, the replacement gaskets are cheap and easy enough to replace.

    Kevin Chatterton II - Ответить

    Notice the sharp crease in the ribbon cable near the home button? I thought I bent it at some point but it was already there.

    My screen was damaged in such a way that removing the old gasket didn't tell me how to install the new one.

    • Remove the home button assembly.

    I did a screen replacement and it’s impossible to place the home button bracket in the correct position, now the home button doesn’t click anymore. Works, but you have to press harder.

    fjaroski - Ответить

    Given the delicacy of this stage, I believe it behooves iFixit to offer a panel replacement option with a new Home button pre-installed.

    Others do; with iFixit’s reputation, such a purchase option would be a welcome, stellar addition to its inventory. Yes, you would have to cancel your Touch-ID setting prior to repair, but that’s a small inconvenience to having to negotiate such a procedure. My 2¢ worth.

    Thanks, iFixit, for the excellent instructions

    dlcatftwin - Ответить

    I second this - tore the home button cable during disassembly and ordered another home button assembly just to figure out that I need the gasket and holder as well as it was not included. -

    Michael Berneis -

    Yes - the metal contact on the home button tore… now I have to figure out how to do another repair. Also, my replacement screen comes with plastic on both sides and multiple tabs in different colors. Now I’m too scared to remove those for fear of ripping something.. you should have glass replace directions here too.

    replaced the display with new home button assembly, new gasket, and holder - button works but fingerprint sensor not anymore - It would be great to have detailed instructions for the complete the home button assembly with all the different parts, not only the teardown for reference. - i.e. it seems you need to push the button through the gasket before assembly so the cable leaves inside and the order is glass-button-gasket-holder.

    Michael Berneis - Ответить

    The article explicitly states that the Home Button and the Motherboard are a BONDED PAIR. If you replace one without the other, Touch ID will stop working. This is why the instruction say you have to retain the button.

    Matt Spriggs - Ответить

    While I’m a fairly tech savvy person, telling people to reverse the steps is ridiculous—you need to show people what to expect. Second, include the home button on the new screen sale. I’m in the middle of the repair at this point, I’ve given you $100 and this seriously frustrating, especially when the home button you sell (which I had to buy after the screen, because I inadvertently tore off a bit) DOESN”T include the proper adhesive. PS—trying to get the adhesive on the new button is a practice in torture.

    Jennifer Altamirano - Ответить

    Now the adhesive ring in on the old glass and rips apart if you pull it off. I think you don’t need the adhesive ring but it keeps the button splash proof. I am going to use tiny amounts of glue but all the more reason to buy a new assy just for that ring.

    Robin - Ответить

    I had to notch out the glass adhesive just slightly where bottom right corner of the home button bracket sits against it. It is curved and needed to be squared off to match the bracket. I held the ribbon cable, button and bracket in place with tape before I glued the bracket. I also used a flashlight behind the bracket and button gap to see that the bump on the bracket was lined up with the button’s switch.

    Robin - Ответить

    I'm quite disappointed the fact that this is a replacement guide but does not include re-assembly steps.

    We ordered a new home button and gasket for an iPad 5, which works with the iPad 6 home button as well.

    Neither guide has re-assembly instructions for the home button.

    My customer service is important and I would like to see better guides that include disassembly and reassembly steps.

    I need to know how to properly apply a home button gasket to the home button.

    If I am missing something, please let me know.

    PS. It's not good practice to use metal tools so close to the main board. An insolated pair would be more ideal.

    Will Helbing - Ответить

    The small black dot on the home button microswitch comes off no matter how careful you are. Home button will not work properly if you loose the black dot. I have done 5-6 repairs and on 4 of them the black dot just fell off. I have been successful using a small piece of Kapton tape and reinstalling the black dot in the center of the home button microswitch.

    tomgeorge - Ответить

    I also removed a metal ring that sits between the gasket and the glass. It has the same shape of the gasket, and it’s glued to the glass after removing the home button assembly. Used a thin double-sided tape with strong glue when reassembling; maybe B7000 glue would be easier.

    Andre Saito - Ответить

    It's so frustrating seeing these guides that just say “follow these steps in the reverse order" when I'm really searching for a technique and guidance on replacing the rubber gasket and and proper placement of the bracket so it clicks as it should and doesn't sink in.

    I needed 6 hours for

    1) removing the cracked display glass with a scalpell,

    2) to remove the glue with glue remover,

    3) to install a new home button (because I cutted the homebutten flex-cable) and

    4) to glue the touchdisplay (digitizer) with T7000 diplay glue!!!. The delivered glueband on the digitizer shouldn't be used, because it is to weak.

    There is a HowTo missing to install a new home button. I also didn't found a new homebutton from iFixit. So I had to buy it somewere else.

does the front panel of the ipad5 fit here?

cndals0075 - Ответить

The display connectors on the iPad 5 and iPad 6 are at different angles and not directly compatible with each other. We have not yet tried to force the connectors from an iPad 6 display onto an iPad 5 and vice versa to see what happened.

Arthur Shi -

iPad Air and iPad 5 digitiser are same. I have changed some digitiser on iPad 5.

Attila - Ответить

Sorry for the confusion! I meant the digitizer connectors are different, not the LCD. You can see it in these pictures: iPad 5 vs iPad 6.

Thank you for providing the walk-through. I was able to follow it and complete the repair without issue.

Hi ,

thank you very much for this howto.

i have one issue when I replaced the digitizer.

Everything is working fine but as soon as I put on the glass to the body I can hear some „brrrrrr“-Sound when i put my ear on the upper side towards the camera.

Maybe some contact issue with ground ?

Do anybody know what this could be or what i can double check?

thank you very much!

Will the ipad 6th gen still work with the apple pen after replacing the assembly?

Alexy Goko - Ответить

The Apple pen should still work with a replacement assembly.

Arthur Shi -

My biggest comment would be to double check the iPad glass to ensure there isn’t a backing film on it. I got mine all assembled to find out that there was a near invisible film on the inside of mine. Also it is important to note the importance of not touching the LCD screen and to use something like a camera lens cleaner/blower to touch this up right before you seal the iPad up. The packing tape/duct tape trick didn’t do much for me and pretty much made the suction cup unusable. Other than that, you had a very great guide! Thanks for the help!

chiefb711 - Ответить

We did our first iPad 6 repair at our shop. Went without a hitch. Helpful to check these out and know where all the cables are routed and such ahead of time. If only they came in with digitizers that just didn’t work instead of completely shattered ones! What a mess!

I tried using the heat pad that came with the tool kit. It was taking to long to heat the adhesive. So I got out my heat gun. That worked much better. The directions were very helpful.

Thanks..

The walkthrough was great, just wish there was an ending to walk through the reassembly. I was able to figure it out by back tracking the original instructions and had no issues. But would have been nice to have some straight forward steps. Thank you again!

JESS FABRE - Ответить

Yes! I made it, probably one of the hardest renovations but this walk-through helped a lot!

Bernardo Sampaio - Ответить

Great guide. Thanks. Plan on spending a lot more time if your screen is shattered - took me many hours just to remove all the little shards. Covering it with packing tape definitely helped. It took a lot of reheating the iOpener (and I frequently reheated it at 15 seconds every few minutes without any problems).

corvidcreations - Ответить

My iOpener was not strong enough to open the screen but after reading about people using heatguns (which I had one lying around) I was able to open the case. - My screen was severely cracked which did not allow for a smooth working on the edges. - I finally got the screen off but damaged the home-button cable in the process - ordered a new one so repair is on hold until part arrives.

Michael Berneis - Ответить

Has anyone had an issue with sections of the screen not responding to touch? I replaced the glass and everything seems to be working in terms of turning off and on; home button is fine; and most of the screen is functioning normally. But there are two bands that run through the screen (horizontally) where the touch screen won’t work. They just stay blank when you try and draw using an app. I haven’t been able to see anyone else having this issue and I’m not sure where/how to address it

Adriane Zaic - Ответить

Hi Adriane,

I think the dead bands are the result of the screen digitizer touching something conductive and shorting. Try this step and seeing if that helps.

Arthur Shi -

the two long black strips with adhesive that touch the digitzer’s connection cables to the copper border of the digitizer needs to be stretched out to completely cover the portion of the digitizer that it is meant to cover. If you can see any exposed wire marking from this area you need to pull it out further to cover them.

Denver Crittendon -

I also found the iOpener ineffective: the aluminium frame of the iPad conducts the heat away too quickly.

Mine had super-strong adhesive. I used a larger-than-regulation suction cup, and when I pulled hard enough to separate the warmed-with-a-heat-gun adhesive, the digitiser shattered.

At this point I would have been better off, I think, abandoning the guide and just tearing off the digitiser in shards, working from the center outwards, and keeping just enough at the right edge to hinge up at step 30. By following the guide, I let sugar-grain sized shards onto the LCD, and wherever I slid a pick across them, I scratched the LCD. Once you get to an edge of the shattered digitiser, the adhesive tape is strong enough to pull up with pliers, with the glass shattering as you go.

Step 34: “There may be glue around the screw holes” — Hold your knife vertically. It’s all 4 screws, not just the top 2. In all cases, you need to cut 90 degrees or so worth of glue, on the sides of the screw closest to the edge of the iPad.

DougBurbidge - Ответить

Completed after 10-15 reassemblies. I’d not have done it again. Problems I had include: 1. Ghosting. 2. Home button lose twice. 3. Home button failure. 4. Screen not setting properly. Advice A. Get the following: A1. Tape 3M for attaching screen properly, A2. Non conducting tape apply all copper sides on the digitalizer, I used a utility knife and a plastic ruler to cut it to size after applying. A3. Get the jewelry glue and secure home button bracket or reinforce, it will come lose easily.

Martin Olsson - Ответить

I FIXED IT!!! But in all seriousness, the directions do need some modifications. Removing the home button cable—proceed with EXTREME CAUTION. And there needs to be some guidance (not 40+ steps) for going back and replacing the home button and the screen. I seriously felt like I was hung out to dry at that point.

Jennifer Altamirano - Ответить

I did NOT FixIt. I tried. I really tried. I managed to get a VERY cracked screen taken apart. But the reassembly should be better than, “Drop that baby in reverse!” I did get it back together and it looks clean and neat but it doesn’t work. The home button works but the digitizer itself does not allow input. I can’t input password nor can I shut off and restart. I took it apart again and made sure everything was connected and all the plastic peel offs were removed and still nothing. Very frustrating.

Aaron Olmsted - Ответить

I should add that the guide and comments are excellent for disassembly.

Aaron Olmsted -

Hi Aaron,

It is indeed terrible feeling when the repair does not go as planned. Does the screen work and light up? I would suggest looking carefully at the two digitizer connectors and their cables shown in this step. Even slight amounts of dirt/grease can cause problems. You may also have a short on the digitizer edge. Look over the perimeter shown in this step and make sure nothing is exposed.

Arthur Shi -

That was crap. I want my money back. Taking apart the screen/home button’ was fine, but the lack of instructions for reinstalling the screen, caused me to crack the new screen due to the ribbon not sitting flush when closing it back up. Following the steps in reverse is grossly inadequate for this repair.

James Rees - Ответить

Hi James,

I’m sorry to hear of your experience! I’ll add an additional note in the step to look out for the connector. If you bought the part from us, please contact our customer support and we will work something out!

Arthur Shi -

The guide is very complete and I was able to change the digitizer of the ipad. Only a couple of comments, first, the iopener did not help me, it cost me a lot to loosen the glue and I lost a lot of time, in the end I ended up using a hair dryer, it was more effective and practical. On the other hand, a part would be missing explaining how to start working with the new part, in my case with so much adhesive film I did not know where to start and I had to look for other videos on YouTube to know what to do.

Martin Ibarra - Ответить

After front panel removal (which is the hardest step…because a broken panel…is borken in thousands pieces and can’t be removed as easily as shown in this tutorial) all steps are really easy and clearly explained. Thank you for this tutorial which saved my iPad.

It is important also to take time to clean screen surface before closing / gluing front panel. I forgot this obvious step and dust is stucked between the two layers.

Nicolas Marseille - Ответить

I purchased some very thin plastic credit card size pieces and trimmed them down to use for the shield from the logic board to battery.

This may work better for others as well, I used to use the trimmed guitar pic until a piece broke off and lodged under the logic board.

This turned an hour screen replacement into a 2 hour tear down and it increased the chances blowing fuses, ect.

Thank you for the valuable guide.

Of course, my screen break would be on that top-left-hand corner. Thankfully with some extra prying, I was able to get the left edge pried up and the glued-down glass dust pulled out without too much blood loss. The replacement screen had some weird insulating film on the flex cables and its own home button, but after removing all that and swapping in the old button, it slapped back together without any hassle!

My own retrospective thoughts - having recently pulled apart my old Samsung Galaxy S7 to do a motherboard swap and battery replacement, I thought I knew what to expect. This bad boy was NOT as simple or straightforward as all that. It’s a very good thing I followed EVERY WORD of this tutorial (including taking the extra care around the charging port, going off the left-hand edge first, working on opposite sides of the camera, investing in the microwavable heating pad and extra picks and tools…).

Hi my iPad 6th gen touchscreen has stopped working, I have done a factory reset, held power button and home button down and nothing has worked.the iPad starts up, home and volume buttons work, but not the touchscreen. If I replace the screen, and the digitiser will this solve the problem?

Sam Mookie - Ответить

Unfortunately, I could not fix my Ipad 6. The heating pad took more like 10 minutes to soften the glue on the screen edges, not 1 minute, so it is a slow process. Using the razor blade to get things started worked very well. I then switched to the plastic tips. After removing the screen, I simply tightened the screws to the charging port, but after replacing the screen, the touchscreen no longer worked. It would be nice to have a video showing how to replace the adhesive strips and the screen. Since I had to guess, I assume I did something wrong for the touchscreen not to work. The tools are nice. I did use them successfully for a screen replacement on an HP laptop.

I placed the new button on the new screen but I not able to make it click how it should. What should I do?

David Coelho - Ответить

Hi David!

The home button presses against the home button bracket in order to click. If your home button isn’t clicking, it may be that the bracket is slightly misaligned. Check the bracket alignment and try again. Another potential issue is that the adhesive you used to reattach the bracket is too thick and it’s bumping the bracket out of reach of the back of the button.

Arthur Shi -

Step44:

Does anyone have a tip for me how to get the touchscreen cables onto the front glass so that when I close it the full touch is still working? Because it seems to have an issue with the aluminium part that's a bit longer when I close the glass onto the tablet, and half the touch stops working.

Thank you!

Tommy Wienert - Ответить

The Guide is perfect, but i had some dificulty in the part of taking out the old front panel assembly. I don't know if it was because of the IOpener not heating enough, or the fact that the screen suction cup, didn't had enough grip, In the end i just destroy the front panel assembly carefully to not damage anything important, and clean the little screen parts that spread everywhere. Now that i instaled the new front Panel assembly, everything works fine, just the glue that hold the screen in th right bottom corner, sometimes just unglue it self, and the screen gets a bit outside of the case, but for that i solved by using a full cover case (with screen protector) .

Even the home button is working but I have a problem mounting the new front panel on the frame. On the right side where the data cable goes into the Ipad the Front glass still comes up. The tape isn't enought or the is some cable tension. Do you have some idea?

Be careful with the protecting films - on both sides of the digitizer - and ribbon cable. You can use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun or iOpener.

My screen was shattered in such a way that removing all of it was a huge project. Transferring the home button needed a little more direction than to put it back together the way it came apart. In the end I broke the connector so the home button doesn't work but everything else seems fine.

Sandy Kilday - Ответить

Hi, I have followed all the instructions in this guide with the correct iFixit tool and new digitizer and the IPad won't turn on or charge. I have tried recovery mode and left it to charge for a while. I didn't have any trouble with any of the steps, I used the battery blocker and the new digitizer fits perfectly with the home button. So everything has gone to plan - except that it won't turn on. Any recommendations on troubleshooting here?
