Introduction
Follow the steps in this guide to replace the display assembly in an iPad Pro 12.9", or to access other internal components for servicing.
Note that the Home Button installed in your original display assembly is paired to the iPad's logic board, and will need to be removed and transferred to the new display to retain Touch ID functionality.
Before beginning, check to see if your replacement part has a daughterboard adhered to its back. If so, this guide will work for you. Otherwise, you will need to transfer the board from the old display to the new one. Transferring the daughterboard from the original to replacement unit will require specialty microsoldering equipment and we recommend DIY users source a new part rather than attempt the procedure.
Parts of this guide were shot with a Wi-Fi model and as such the internals may look slightly different from the LTE model. The procedure is the same for both models except where noted.
Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.
-
Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.
-
Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.
-
Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.
-
Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.
-
Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.
-
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
-
-
-
While holding down the corners of the device, repeatedly pull up on the display then ease it back down to weaken the adhesive.
-
Once you've opened a small gap between the front panel and the rear case, insert the blade of a halberd spudger or an opening pick in the gap you've created.
-
-
-
Lay a hot iOpener along the bottom left corner of the iPad, spanning from the opening pick to the home button.
-
After letting the adhesive soften, insert a halberd spudger into the iPad next to the opening pick.
-
Cut the adhesive along the bottom left side of the iPad using the halberd spudger. This may require reheating the edge of the iPad.
-
Continue to slide the halberd spudger back and forth to ensure most of the adhesive is separated.
-
-
-
-
Lay a hot iOpener along the upper left corner of the iPad, spanning from the opening pick to the front-facing camera.
-
After letting the adhesive soften, insert the blade of your halberd spudger into the iPad above the opening pick.
-
Cut the adhesive along the upper left side of the iPad towards the front-facing camera using the halberd spudger. This may require reheating the edge of the iPad.
-
-
-
Reheat your iOpener and lay it over the top edge of the device. Wait a couple minutes for the adhesive to soften.
-
Once the front panel is adequately heated, insert the blade of a halberd spudger next to the opening pick from the previous step.
-
Slide the blade along the top edge of the iPad, stopping before reaching the front-facing camera.
-
-
-
If necessary, reheat your iOpener and lay it over the top edge of the device. Wait a couple minutes for the adhesive to soften before reinserting the blade of the halberd spudger.
-
Insert the blade of the halberd spudger just past the front-facing camera, on the opposite side of the opening pick.
-
Continue to slide the blade of the halberd spudger to the upper right corner of the iPad.
-
-
-
Use an iOpener to heat the bottom of the iPad.
-
Insert the blade of a halberd spudger to the left of the opening pick on the bottom right corner of the iPad.
-
Slide the halberd spudger along the lower edge of the iPad stopping short about 1 centimeter before reaching the home button.
-
-
-
Return to step 5 of this guide and ensure the thick portions of adhesive are adequately separated from the display assembly. If they are, continue with this step. Otherwise, slice the adhesive to break it up until the display assembly is freed.
-
Lift up the upper edge of the display and slide it towards the front-facing camera to access the iPads internal components.
-
-
-
Remove the display assembly.
-
Be sure to remove all remaining adhesive from the iPad's enclosure, and use our display adhesive application guide to install fresh pre-cut adhesive strips when reassembling your iPad.

Hello there OK so I have 2 screens with 2 different connectors one L shaped (which is on the new screen) and the old cracked screen has a rectangular type? I’m not sure rather it’s a 1gen/2nd gen type of problem? I’m about to grab my hot air gun to completely disassemble the cracked screen, as maybe I’m missing something? Any assistance is welcome… well actually please help me with this before I get a headache since this has totally frustrated me and i’ve had this sitting for nearly 2 1/2 months now but it’s about that time that I readdress this in attempt to fix it.
Hi, does your replacement screen have the home button assembly included? Otherwise there's need of soldering the assembly to it before it can be installed.

hi
does anyone knows why there is a foam adhesive in thr back of the screen ? do i need to put back when i replaxe screen ?
thanks
I suppose the foam adhesive is similar to the one on the back of the 6s screens. I guess it has more of a heat dissipation function or is meant to absorb any pointy pressure points from inside that may develop (loose screw, sand, dirt...)
