    • 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.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

    • 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.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and be careful not to damage the LCD screen.

    Covering the screen with tape proved an essential safety step with the ipad display/lcd I just replaced. The screen was so badly broken that a part of it was almost powder, but the combination of the tape and sticky adhesive residue kept most of that together, and cleanup was pretty easy as a result. One caveat, though, is that the tape will probably make the suction cup useless for pulling up on the display. It did for me, anyway.

    • The following steps involve using an iOpener to soften the adhesive holding the front panel assembly in place. When using the iOpener, be sure to heat it in the microwave for no more than 30 seconds.

    • Handling it by the tabs on either end, place a heated iOpener over the top edge of the iPad.

    • Let the iOpener sit on the iPad for two minutes to soften the adhesive securing the front panel to the rest of the iPad.

    I see a lot of videos that show using a heat gun on low to soften the adhesive. I know there is inherent risk with this since you could start delaminating things, but is it something that could be considered (at your own risk)? Or is it something that could have more risks than I am realizing?

    Yes, you can definitely use a hair dryer, heat gun, or a heating pad. If you're using a heat gun, be careful not to overheat the display. The surface should feel slightly too hot to the touch.

    • While the iPad looks uniform from the outside, there are delicate components under certain portions of the front glass. To avoid damage, only heat and pry in the areas described in each step.

    • As you follow the directions, take special care to avoid prying in the following areas:

    • Home Button

    • Front Facing Camera

    • Main Camera

    • The next two 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 two steps for an alternate method.

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

    • Elevate the iPad enough for the Anti-Clamp's arms to rest above and below the screen.

    • Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.

    • Position the suction cups near the top edge of the iPad—one on the front, and one on the back.

    • Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.

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

    • Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.

    • Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned to 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.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen 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 two steps.

    Do not use the anti clamp beyond this step. Doing so will run the risk of putting pressure on the screen and cracking it. Only use it for the initial opening of the device.

    • Firmly pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the front panel and the rear case.

    • Do not pull too hard or you may shatter the glass.

    • Once you've opened a sufficient gap, insert an opening pick into the gap to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Slide the pick along the edge of the display, towards the headphone jack.

    • If there is still a considerable amount of resistance when sliding the opening pick, repeat the iOpener heating procedure and apply additional heat.

    • Don't insert the pick past the bezel into the display area, or you will damage it.

    • A good rule of thumb is to never insert the opening pick more than a quarter inch into the iPad.

    • Lift the logic board EMI shield, starting at the edge nearest the top of the iPad.

    • Slowly peel the EMI shield up from the logic board.

    • This takes a bit of force due to the many tiny clips securing the shield, and the shield may deform slightly. That's okay—try to keep the deformation to a minimum, and it will lay flat when reinstalled and screwed down.

    • Remove the logic board EMI shield.

    Don't peel the cover as shown from a short side. Lift the long side to avoid creasing the cover so much. This way it will lie flat when you reassemble it and not look so ugly. Also, you won't have to straighten so many creases with pliers

    You "CAN" skip steps 41 through 98 and 102-109 if you're confident in your repair abilities and PATIENT. Lots of alcohol around all the edges of the battery, and apply heat to the back cover on one half of the battery, the slowly ease your "card under the edges of the battery. Wiggle it back and forth and add more alcohol under the edges of the battery where your working; DONT PUSH your card to hard or you will sli[p and damage components. Then do the same for the other half. When both halves are loose, fold over one end and slide the flat edge off the spudger under the area of the logic board next to the battery connector, then do the same to the other side; you want just enough of a gap under the logic board to lift the battery tab off of the post then you can remove the battery.

    • The next four steps detail how to mask off the iPad in preparation for the liquid adhesive remover. The tape will help block and absorb excess liquids, keeping major components safe.

    • Apply a piece of masking or painter's tape to the top speaker assembly. The tape should bridge the gap between the battery and the speaker assembly.

    These steps are a good precaution, but I’m not sure they’re necessary. I found that a very stingy application of acetone — just enough to draw a line along the card with a syringe was enough to separate the adhesive, without any issues of pooling.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to push the edge of the tape down into the crevice between the battery and the speaker.

    • This creates a tape "wall" which will help prevent any liquid adhesive from pooling behind it.

    • Slide the spudger across the entire length of the crevice, pushing tape down to create a boundary.

  45. iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 45, image 1 de 2 iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 45, image 2 de 2
    • Repeat the same procedure on the logic board side and the bottom side of the iPad.

    • Use two pieces of tape for the logic board side. Leave a gap over the Battery Blocker.

  46. iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 46, image 1 de 2 iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 46, image 2 de 2
    • Once complete, the masking should look like the first image.

    • The adhesive remover may discolor and eventually damage certain plastic components, such as the speaker housings—so check your work and take care not to spill.

    • Four strips of strong adhesive hold the battery in place.

  47. iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 47, image 1 de 2 iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 47, image 2 de 2
    • Prepare a work area where the iPad can rest in a tilted position, to allow adhesive remover to trickle down to the adhesive strips.

    • You can use books, boxes, etc. as long as they will not move.

  48. iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 48, image 1 de 2 iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 48, image 2 de 2
    • iFixit adhesive remover contains acetone, a mild skin and eye irritant.

    • Wear eye protection when handling and applying the adhesive remover. (Eye protection is included in your kit.)

    • Do not wear contact lenses without eye protection.

    • Protective gloves are highly recommended beyond this step, as the dissolved adhesive will be very tacky and hard to wash off.

    • Pull off the black rubber stopper from your bottle of adhesive remover.

    • Twist to loosen or remove the bottle cap before you cut the applicator tip.

    • This unseals the bottle and allows the pressure to equalize before you cut the applicator tip. If you skip this step, the adhesive remover may spray out unexpectedly when the tip is cut.

    • Use scissors to cut off the sealed tip of the applicator.

    • Cutting close to the narrow tip will give you better control so you can apply the adhesive remover in small amounts.

    • Twist and close the bottle cap securely before you proceed further.

    • Carefully insert a plastic card under the bottom right corner of the battery.

    • Slowly slide the plastic card across the bottom edge of the battery to make a gap for the liquid adhesive remover.

    • At this point, you do not need to push the card very deep under the battery. 0.5 inches (13 mm) is more than sufficient.

    • While some bending of the battery pack will be inevitable, try not to form any sharp creases, which will compromise the battery structure and potentially trigger a fire hazard.

    • Tilt the bottom of the iPad up.

    • Apply a few drops of adhesive remover evenly along the elevated edge of the battery.

    • A little bit goes a long way, so start with a very small amount. You can always add more later if needed. Applying the solvent in small amounts helps prevent unwanted leaks.

  52. iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Replacement: étape 52, image 1 de 1
    • Rest the iPad in a slanted position, bottom edge up, and wait 2-3 minutes to allow the adhesive remover to penetrate and soften the first adhesive strip.

    • Slide a plastic card into the bottom edge of the battery.

    • Push slowly and firmly. Gently wiggle and twist the card to help it slice through the adhesive.

    • If you are struggling, tilt the iPad, apply a few more drops of adhesive remover and wait a minute before trying again.

    • As you are slicing, the Battery Blocker may fall out of position. If that happens, reposition the Battery Blocker before continuing with your work.

    • The end of the mid-battery circuit board closer to the Smart Connector is held down with adhesive.

    • Slide an opening pick underneath the mid-battery circuit board, near the Smart Connector.

    • Carefully slice underneath the board around the post to release the board from the rear case.

    • Use this step to create an optional extended Battery Blocker to help remove the battery from the case.

    • Place the Battery Blocker on top of the plastic card such that the top half of the Battery Blocker extends past the top of the card.

    • Wrap tape around the plastic card so that the Battery Blocker is held in place.

    • The goal is to lift the battery contacts high enough such that they clear the screw post underneath the logic board.

    • Slowly lever the extended Battery Blocker upwards, pushing the battery contacts and the logic board up.

    • The logic board is held to the rear case with strong adhesive. Try to lift just enough to loosen the adhesive surrounding the connector.

    • Do not lift the logic board up to the point where the top and bottom edge of the logic board separates from the case.

    • Once the extended Battery Blocker has lifted the battery contacts high enough to clear the screw post, pull the battery out of its position.

    • Remove the battery and the Battery Blocker.

    • The next four steps detail how to install a new battery. Never reinstall a used battery.

    • Thoroughly clean the back case of all adhesive residue.

    • Apply adhesive remover or high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol to the residue.

    • Use an opening tool to scrape and loosen the residue.

    • Be sure to wipe the residue away in one direction to prevent smearing.

    • It is easier to wipe off the residue when it is sufficiently soaked. Once it starts drying up, the residue becomes incredibly tacky.

    • If you used adhesive remover, be sure to wipe the surface down with isopropyl alcohol to remove any adhesive remover residue.

    • You can remove the masking tape as well as any protective gear once you are done cleaning.

    • Slowly insert the extended Battery Blocker under the logic board.

    • If you feel any resistance, the Battery Blocker may have caught on one of the contact springs. Do not push any further. Remove the Battery Blocker, lift the board up slightly, and try again.

    • Lever the tool so that the the Battery Blocker's prongs barely push the logic board above the screw post.

    • Lay the replacement battery pack on top of the extended Battery Blocker.

    • Allow the battery pack to slide in place underneath the logic board as the battery's contacts clear the screw post.

    • If the battery pack's contacts do not slide into place, the contacts may be caught on the logic board's spring contacts. Slide the battery back out, lift one side of the logic board slightly higher, and try again.

    • Remove the Battery Blocker.

    • Lift the bottom edge of the battery up slightly.

    • Do not hinge the battery beyond 45 degrees, or you risk damaging the inter-cell connectors.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to peel the single clear plastic covering off of the entire bottom side of the battery.

    • At this point, the battery's four adhesive strips are exposed. Be careful handling the battery and try not to touch the strips.

    • Align the battery such that it falls in place with the screw post near the Smart Connector.

    • Be sure not to trap the Smart Connector cable underneath the battery.

    • Gently lay the battery down into its recess.

    • Press the battery firmly into place.

    • Separate the Battery Blocker from the plastic card if it is still taped together.

    • Reinsert the Battery Blocker between the logic board and the battery contacts.

    • Resume reassembly.

That’s an excellent guide! I had to replace both the battery and the display. The iPad seems fixed and boots but shuts down after 3min/180s due to "no successful checkins from com.apple.thermalmonitord since wake". The other services listed in the dump all report successful checkins. I have no idea whether that rather indicates something went wrong with the battery replacement or with the display exchange (and associated home button transfer). A hard DFU didn’t help.

Did you ever get this fixed? I’m running into the same thing.

Hello, I tap the home button, Apple is very picky about the exchange. Just try the original home button if it is still available.

Used this guide it is missing the part where you need to remove the screw from the battery post. Post needs to be reissued. I have now tried 3 OEM batteries including reinstalling the existing one and all cause the iPad to go into a restart loop I think iOS 14 devices are firmware locked as all show 100mAh on Coconut Plus which probably causes the restart loops. Even completed hard reset and total factory reset however still stuck in restart loop

Did you manage to fix this? I got the same result.

Joseph Ferrare -

Nice work on this! I’m still reeling a bit from how complicated this operation is, as I expected something much simpler. Other than the taping (which I didn’t need to do), I found every step to be absolutely necessary, just as you described. Thanks.

I am sure that this repair guide was carried way to far. After opening the iPad and removing the batterie connector screw, the logic board cover and the display itself there is NO need to remove any other part on top. Only the screw for the smart connector needs then to be removed. So no antenna, no lighting connector and even no logic board or every other component needs to be removed.

Yes, only lifting up the logic board is a bit more tricky when connecting the new battery and it might even be more dangerous for the logic board than removing every component from the backplate. But from my point of view the risk taken is much greater following this guide than as I described since each (and here there are plenty unnecessary) step on top also leads into a higher risk. Since the glued down logic board is even totally removed the risk of bending it too much and braking it is still present.

Half of the steps are just useless which only leads into a higher risk of breaking something. In the end: just be careful.

Hi Timo,

Thanks for your input! Your points are valid—the more you disassemble a device, the higher the chance for damage. In the past, our iPad guides actually did what you suggested; we instructed people to pry up the logic board and slide the battery connector out. Unfortunately, Apple began using stronger adhesives to hold the logic board. Flexing the board too much can cause solder joints on surface mount components to break, causing problems. We weighed the options during the guide writing process, and decided to revise with a longer, gentler approach. We're always on the lookout for better solutions, and will update the guide when we find them!

Arthur Shi -

I was wondering the same thing. Regardless of what method you use, a LOT of care is required. It seems like if you skip the logic board stuff you can probably do the repair in less than an hour. I am curious if the use of more heat on the logic board adhesive (from the back of the ipad) would be helpful.

Too late for me! I managed to do all the steps and installed a new battery – but after assembly, the screen turns on (white), starts flashing and the iPad beeps. Then turns off. Switching on: the same.

I checked all connectors, display lines... Cannot see any injuries :-(

Any ideas?

Bernd Löhr - Réponse

Not worth it. I’m doing a lot of repairs myself but had no inclination to go through this complicated process, so I gave the iPad to a professional repair shop (Apple certified).

As already mentioned in other comments the iPad came back with a wildly inaccurate charge indication. This seems due to the fact that the battery management system (BMS) isn’t part of the battery itself and can’t be properly reset for use with a new battery by a third party.

When reading battery parameters with coconutBattery only the cycle counter was reset, and ominously enough the indicated actual capacity was exactly the design value. SN and life cycle data were from the old battery. Charge/discharge rates weren’t shown properly and performance was a far cry from a new iPad.

Returned the iPad to the shop; they acknowledged the fault, even tried a battery from a different supplier but couldn’t fix it. Eventually they gave me a full refund.

Note: Apple already list this model as “vintage” and don’t offer battery change for it anymore.
