I successfully replaced the battery and screen on my 5yr old’s iPad. I just diligently followed the steps and took my time. I came very close to giving up when it came down to separating the battery from the enclosure because that glue is strong and I was genuinely concerned that the battery would get damaged. However, I finally just let the iOpener sit on the back of enclosure for 5 minutes every time instead of the recommended 1 minute. I should have read the comments first because I believe Neil Davis’ trick to use dental floss to cut the adhesive under the battery would have worked beautifully and saved me 30 minutes. The only truly hard part was installing the new front panel. I couldn’t find instructions and came close to pinching some cables. Maybe adding a link to an online reasembly with parts/kits would help out.

Overall, this was a satisfying experience and the extremely detailed instructions were definitely appreciated! I look forward to fixing other devices to extend their lives. Thanks
