While the bottom edge is being heated by the iOpener, begin releasing the adhesive from the right edge of the iPad.

Slide the guitar pick down along the edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive as you go.

The adhesive is very strong, and some serious force may be required. Work carefully.

If you can see the tip of the guitar pick underneath the front glass, pull the guitar pick out just a little bit. While using the guitar pick this deep won't damage anything, it may get adhesive residue all over the LCD.

It may be necessary to move the heated iOpener back onto the right edge of the iPad as you release the adhesive. This depends on how long the iPad has been able to cool while you were working on it.

If the guitar pick gets stuck in the adhesive, "roll" the guitar pick along the side of the iPad, continuing to release the adhesive.

Before removing the first guitar pick from the bottom corner of the iPad, insert a second guitar pick under the right edge of the front glass to keep the adhesive from re-adhering.

Re-heat the iOpener, and move it to the top edge of the iPad.

The next few steps require extreme caution.

The Wi-Fi antenna is attached to the bottom right edge of the rear case of the iPad via screws and a cable. Because of the orientation of the Wi-Fi antenna, it is imperative to proceed with caution otherwise irreversible damage to the Wi-Fi antenna may result.

You will have to release the adhesive securing the antenna to the front panel without damaging the delicate parts attaching the antenna to the bottom of the iPad. Follow the next steps carefully.

Slide the guitar pick around the bottom right corner of the iPad, releasing the adhesive there.

Do not slide the guitar pick further than the bottom right corner. You may damage the Wi-Fi antenna by doing so.

This step requires you to move the guitar pick along the bottom right edge of the front panel. The Wi-Fi antenna is very close to the corner and is easily severed if the adhesive is released improperly.

Do not completely remove the guitar pick from under the front glass, but pull it out just a litttle bit so that ~1/8" of the tip is still under the front glass.

Slide the tip of the guitar pick along the bottom edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive underneath the Wi-Fi antenna.

Once you have moved past the Wi-FI antenna (approximately 3" from the right edge, or right next to the home button) re-insert the guitar pick to its full depth.

Slide the guitar pick to the right, releasing the adhesive securing the Wi-Fi antenna to the front glass.

• The antenna it attached to the bottom of the iPad via screws and a cable. This step detaches the antenna from the front panel, ensuring that when you remove the panel, the antenna will not be damaged.

Continue releasing the adhesive along the bottom of the iPad, pulling the guitar pick out far enough to go around the home button, and re-inserting it once the guitar pick is past the home button.

If the adhesive has cooled too much along the bottom edge, re-microwave the iOpener and reheat the adhesive where you are working.

Do not heat the iOpener more than a minute at a time, and always allow at least two minutes before reheating it.
