Introduction
This is a prerequisite only guide.
This guide contains duplicated content sourced from iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi Opening Procedure. The content is duplicated because the Air 2 opening procedure hinges the display open in a different direction.
What you need
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
-
-
-
Handling it by the tabs on either end, place a heated iOpener over the top edge of the iPad.
-
Let the iOpener sit on the iPad for two minutes to soften the adhesive securing the front panel to the rest of the iPad.
-
-
-
As you follow the directions, take special care to avoid prying in the following areas:
-
Home Button
-
Front Facing Camera
-
Main Camera
-
-
-
Firmly pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the front panel and the rear case.
-
Once you've opened a sufficient gap, insert an opening pick into the gap to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Slide the pick along the edge of the display, towards the headphone jack.
-
If there is still a considerable amount of resistance when sliding the opening pick, repeat the iOpener heating procedure and apply additional heat.
-
-
-
-
Reheat the iOpener and lay it over the right edge of the display to loosen the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Slide the left-hand opening pick along the bottom edge of the display, then remove it from the bottom right corner of the iPad.
