      • For your safety, fully discharge the battery before disassembling the device. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

      • Disconnect all cables and accessories from the iPad.

      • If your screen is badly cracked, cover it with a layer of packing tape to help the suction cup stick and prevent shards of glass from coming off.
