Wat je nodig hebt
-
-
Use tweezers to peel up and remove the rectangular piece of foam tape covering the top right LCD screw.
-
Remove the triangular tape covering the lower right LCD screw.

Remove the four 3.9 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the LCD to the rear case.
In my case the 4 screws are not the same. One is 4mm, and 3 of 3.5mm, or better 2 x 3.5mm and one 3.45mm. I put the longest one at the left edge at left of the LCD flat cable.

Hi Mitja. I just checked the measurements with an electronic digital caliper. I got 3.9 mm for all four screws. Are you sure it was the same model? Thanks.

Insert the tip of a spudger between the LCD frame and the tape on the top of the LCD.
-
Slide the spudger along the space between the LCD frame and tape, separating the tape from the LCD frame.
I finished a successful replacement of my screen following these instructions. Thanks.
Step 36 (remove tape from LCD perimeter), however, seems unnecessary. I ended up spending a lot of time separating the tape from the LCD frame only to discover it was not necessary for steps 37-44 and actually made things really difficult for step 45-46 (removing the tape near the speakers). Finally, steps 45-46 can be skipped since it is much easier to remove this tape once you flip the LCD over (Step 55).

Insert a guitar pick into the gap between the LCD and rear case, near the top of the left side of the LCD.
-
Bend the pick slightly away from the iPad, just enough to spread the gap between the LCD and rear case.
I found a very simple method for removing the LCD from the metal shield. Slightly lift one of the top corners and insert a 1' piece of fishing line. Insert the line under the other top corner placing the length between the LCD and shield. Once in place, gently pull each end toward the bottom of the LCD breaking the adhesive as you go. This will make things much easier than using the picks and possibly breaking the LCD.
The fishing line trick is amazing… although i had already broken the LCD when i saw that comment. Good Learn!
This step is what destroys my LCDs :(
I was able to do this the first time w/out damaging the LCD simply by following the instructions to the letter, slowly and carefully. The only thing I did differently was to follow Northstar’s instructions to remove the two pieces of tape at the bottom of the LCD before beginning.
I found a good way to remove the LCD without breaking it. Once you finish to clean up around the LCD just lift a bit one of the white metal backing plate and insert in the gap a plastified playing card under le LCD and slowly make your way to the center of the LCD. Repeat on the other side and the LCD will lift up intact.
nothing Brocken after
(I did not read the comments before doing it lol)

Starting at the top right of the device, slide the spudger in between the LCD frame and metal backing plate, which will separate the adhesive as you push.
These steps were hard. I was too scared that I was going to brake the LCD. Luckily I got it off! Don’t know how delicate these things are and how much force they can take.
me to it was hard

Lift the LCD up a couple inches from the rear case to ensure it's free from the adhesive.
When I did it I found that the adhesive sticking was mainly on the edges, so if you take a spudger and just break that adhesive carefully it will help. Be gentle lifting the lcd as it’s very breakable.

While holding the LCD with one hand, Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap between this tape and the left speaker.
-
Gently pull the LCD away from the speakers while rotating the spudger outward to separate the tape from the speaker.
