4. Step 3
  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.

6. Step 5
  If the EMI shield has any sharp protrusions after removal, you should flatten them before reinstalling the shield.
  
  Squeeze the sharp protrusion with a pair of pliers to flatten it.
  
  Repeat the process for all sharp protrusions along the edges of the EMI shield.
