iPad broken display

Antonio -

My Problem

Because the iPad dropped on the floor

My Fix

It was good and iFixit tools are great but the tools given are limited.

The iOpener doesn't keep much temperature so it must be reheated many times. I used instead a hot water bottle that has a smooth surface and the water inside at 80°C (176° F) keeps the temp for a longer time so I could concentrate on removing the small pieces of glass. The iOpener is good when the glass is one piece and I can put the guitar piece of plastic along the line.

I also had problem with the plastic spudger which got worn after some glass removal. I have the complete iFixit tools and then I used the metal spudger which has a longer life on its thinner area.

My Advice

Beware the small pieces of glass and wear clear safety glasses.

A magnifier is not a safety glasses you can wear it over the real safety glasses...
