iPad Pro 9.7" Battery Disconnect

Step 1 Disconnect the battery

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eleven 1.3 mm screws securing the EMI shield.
Step 2

• Apply a heated iOpener to the EMI shield on the logic board for one minute.
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.
Step 4
• Use a Phillips driver to remove the 1.7 mm-long screw securing the battery connector.
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.
