Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the power button cable in an iPad Air 3 for both Wi-Fi and cellular models.
Note: This guide is for replacing the internal power button cable, not the external power button face. The power button cable wraps around a bracket—you’ll need to reuse this bracket.
Some photos in this guide were taken from a previous model. There are small differences between models, but the overall procedure is very similar.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
You may need to reapply heat repeatedly throughout this process to prevent the adhesive from cooling and hardening.
-
Prepare an iOpener and place it on the bottom edge of the iPad's screen for about two minutes.

-
Place a suction cup next to the iPad's home button and press down to create a seal.
-
Firmly pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the front panel and the rear case.
-
Once you've opened a sufficient gap, insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slice through the adhesive under the screen by sliding the pick along the edge of the display, towards the bottom left corner.
-
Leave the pick in place temporarily to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the left edge of the iPad for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch comfortably.
-
If necessary, re-heat your iOpener for a few seconds or until it's a bit too hot to touch. Be careful not to overheat the iOpener, or it may burst.
-
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom left corner of the iPad.
-
Slide the second opening pick along the left side of the display to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
Leave the opening pick inserted near the top left corner of the iPad to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the final, right edge of the iPad for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch comfortably.
-
Insert a fourth opening pick at the top right corner of the iPad.
-
Slide the opening pick down to the bottom right corner to cut the adhesive.
-
Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner—pausing to apply more heat if needed—and cut the remaining adhesive on the bottom edge, but stop before you reach the home button.
-
-
-
-
To disconnect the battery, slide one prong of a battery blocker or the tip of an opening pick under the battery power connector to ensure the power circuit is interrupted.
-
Leave the battery blocker in place as you work.

-
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five screws securing the upper component bracket:
-
Three 1.4 mm-long screws
-
Two 2.4 mm-long screws
-

-
Use a spudger to push the upper component bracket towards the upper edge and off of the clips located near the rear camera.

Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the front camera cable by lifting straight up on the press connector.
