iPad 4 Wi-Fi Power & Volume Button Assembly Replacement

Remove the following screws securing the power & volume button cable to the aluminum frame:

Two 5.5 mm Phillips #0

One 2.6 mm Phillips #0

Two 2.6 mm Phillips #0

Remove the piece of plastic covering the volume buttons.

Remove the single 2.6 mm Phillips #00 screw holding the volume button frame to the aluminum frame.

Wedge the edge of a plastic opening tool underneath the sleep/wake sensor, being careful to not damage the fragile cable.

Move the plastic opening tool around the sensor, releasing the adhesive.

Slide the tip of a spudger underneath the power & volume cables, releasing the adhesive.

Using the tip of the spudger rather that the wide edge, release the adhesive underneath the volume button branch of the ribbon cable.

Continue sliding the tip of the spudger toward the top of the iPad, releasing the adhesive.

With the tip of the spudger still underneath the ribbon cable, gently lift the power button out of its socket in the aluminum frame.

Lift and remove the power & volume button cable out of the iPad.
