Inleiding
Use this guide to remove and replace the battery for the iPad Pro 10.5”.
Because there are steps in this guide where the battery may remain connected to the logic board, leave the iPad on until the battery is completely discharged (the iPad turns itself off) before attempting this guide. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
Have plenty of high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to help make the removal and residue cleanup easier.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.

-
You may need to reapply heat repeatedly throughout this process to prevent the adhesive from cooling and hardening.
-
Prepare an iOpener and place it on the bottom edge of the iPad's screen for about two minutes.
-
-
-
Slice through the adhesive under the screen by sliding the pick along the edge of the display, towards the bottom left corner.
-
Leave the pick in place temporarily to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the left edge of the iPad for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch comfortably.
-
If necessary, re-heat your iOpener for a few seconds or until it's a bit too hot to touch. Be careful not to overheat the iOpener, or it may burst.
-
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom left corner of the iPad.
-
Slide the second opening pick along the left side of the display to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
Leave the opening pick inserted near the top left corner of the iPad to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Apply heat to the final, right edge of the iPad for about two minutes, or until it's slightly too hot to touch comfortably.
-
Insert a fourth opening pick at the top right corner of the iPad.
-
Slide the opening pick down to the bottom right corner to cut the adhesive.
-
Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner—pausing to apply more heat if needed—and cut the remaining adhesive on the bottom edge, but stop before you reach the home button.
We must be very careful when we are prying left and right size bezel to peel off the screen as there very little gap between edges and LCD. Slightly inside push can crack LCD. We need to pay full care and raising edges very very slowly.

-
Lift the display assembly from its top edge and carefully slide it up (towards the front-facing camera and headphone jack), until the screw that secures the battery power connector is revealed at the bottom.
How do you go about getting to this battery connector as it is covered by a large metal shield above the logic board, if you do not disconnect the battery you risk frying the back light.
-
-
-
Slowly lift the display from its top edge, being careful not to strain the attached ribbon cables.
-
Remove the two 1.3 mm Phillips screws securing the display connector cover bracket.
-
Remove the display connector cover bracket.
Here it is very precocious steps to do. Flx cables to connectors are small in size and we cannot lift the display vertically. Therefore, we may struggle to unscrew the metal shield. We need to use smaller size of philip screw driver or place vertically the display to create enough gap between philip screw driver and the cover bracket. Similarly, when we are replacing new display we need to be carefully connect four flex cable with connectors with logic board.
agree, with re-assembly very tiny screws and awkward positioning, the back two cables pop off if not careful.

-
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the ten screws securing the EMI shield:
-
Eight 1.3 mm screws
-
Two slightly longer screws
The top two screws are longer than the rest on my iPad. Be careful to put them back in the right spots.
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the EMI shield to loosen the adhesive beneath. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Use flat end of a spudger to pry up the EMI shield, starting from the top edge near the front-facing camera.
-
Continue carefully prying up the EMI shield until you can remove it.
The two screws adjacent to the camera location are slightly longer! Make sure you don’t mix them up with the other eight, as shorter ones will not work in this location.
Thanks! I’ve updated the step with your tip!

Use the edge of a spudger to pry up and disconnect both the left interconnect cable and antenna cable. Fold them gently out of the way.
wo finde ich das AntennenKabel , das ist abgerissen ?
Wo finde ich das Antennenkabel rechts und links das ist bei mir abgerissen ?
We also have no antenna cable as shown…

-
-
Apply some solvent underneath the battery at the three separate points where the longer adhesive strips are located. Only apply the solvent point by point and not in a seamless movement.
-
Allow the solvent to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.
-
-
-
Carefully insert a spudger underneath the battery at the same hight as the display connectors. You might need to reapply an iOpener or adhesive remover.
-
Pry up the battery using the spudger and cut the remaining adhesive with it.
-
Lift the battery with the spudger to ensure all the adhesive is loosened.
-
Place the plastic card under the center of the battery cell, and leave it there to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Elevate the right side of the iPad (long edge, nearest the rear camera) by placing an iOpener underneath, so that the iPad lays down at an angle.
-
Apply some solvent underneath the battery at the two leftmost adhesive strip locations.
-
-
-
Continue separately applying solvent at the remaining two adhesive strip locations. Allow it to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.
-
-
-
Remove the iOpener so the iPad lays flat, and rotate it so the headphone jack faces towards you.
-
Insert a plastic card underneath the battery cell, starting near the outer corner.
-
Wiggle the card from side to side and push it underneath the battery to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
Slide the plastic card down toward the bottom edge of the iPad and cut all the adhesive beneath the battery cell.
-
-
-
Use a pair of tweezers to peel off the remaining adhesive strip parts.
-
Clean the glued areas with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth before installing a new battery to ensure the new battery fits and the adhesive bonds correctly.
-
Compare your new replacement part to the original part. You may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
If possible, turn on your iPad and test your repair before resealing the tablet.
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery after completing this guide: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

If you say the “the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated” then what is the correct way to isolate the battery?!?! The rest of the guide makes no mention of the correct/prefered method of isolating the battery.
How is it that the author took the time to update the guide with that message but failed to mention what should be done instead
Good point! We are currently still researching a more reliable alternative to the battery isolation procedure. As of now, the battery blocker method still works—it just has substantial dangers. This is especially true for iPad Pros, where the Logic Board is adhered to the frame. I’ve reworded the warnings to reflect this.
Hi can you advise please? In step 25 the SIM card tray flex cable is disconnected, no problem apart from i don’t have a SIM card tray flex cable in the A1701 that i’m repairing!! Urgent assistance required please. Regards R
You have the Wi-Fi model, which will look slightly different and have different procedures compared to the cellular model. You can skip the SIM flex cable step.
Ich habe diese Antennenkabel defekt wo bekomme ich sie oder für was sind die ?
