Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Prepare your iPad for disassembly: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Allow your iPad's battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair. A charged battery may catch fire if damaged during the repair.

    • If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Unplug any cables and fully shut down your iPad.

  2. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Heat the right edge: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the screen for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the iPad—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

  3. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 3 van 3

    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Place an object under your iPad so it rests level between the suction cups.

    • Position the suction cups near the middle of the right edge—one on the top, and one on the bottom.

    • Hold the bottom of the Anti-Clamp steady and firmly press down on the top cup to apply suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPad is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, use tape to create a grippier surface.

  4. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

  5. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • If your screen isn't getting hot enough, you can use a hair dryer to heat along the right edge of the iPad.

    • For complete instructions on how to use a hair dryer, check out this guide.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next step.

  6. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Insert an opening pick: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Insert an opening pick: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Insert an opening pick: stap 6, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • If your screen is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken display.

    • Apply a suction handle to the screen as close to the center of the right edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with a strong, steady force to create a small gap between the frame and screen.

    • The large screen is very fragile. Only create a gap big enough to insert an opening pick.

    • If you're having trouble making a gap, reapply a heated iOpener to the right edge for two minutes.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Don't insert the pick more than 5 mm to avoid damaging the screen.

    • There are two ambient light sensors near the corners. Don't insert your pick more than 1 mm here.

    • The front-facing camera and additional sensors are in the center of the top edge. Don't insert your pick here—there is less than 1 mm of adhesive and you may damage the components.

    • For everywhere else, don't insert your pick more than 5 mm to avoid damaging the screen.

    • Before you continue, note the following:

    • There are nine stretch-release adhesive pull tabs that have to be removed to separate the adhesive underneath the battery.

    • The corners of some of the battery cells have a small amount of extra adhesive that needs to be separated.

    • The remainder of the adhesive is located between the battery cells, underneath their battery boards.

  82. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Remove the stretch-release adhesive: stap 82, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Remove the stretch-release adhesive: stap 82, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Remove the stretch-release adhesive: stap 82, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • The next two steps will demonstrate how to remove the nine stretch-release adhesives.

    • Use tweezers, or your fingers, to separate the pull tab from the battery enough so you can grab it with your fingers.

    • Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.

  83. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 83, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 83, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 83, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull the strip out slowly and steadily at a low angle. Give it plenty of time to stretch and un-stick from under the battery.

    • If the adhesive strip breaks off, try to retrieve it using your fingers or blunt tweezers, and continue pulling—but do not pry under the battery.

    • Repeat the process on all nine stretch-release adhesive strips.

    • If you removed all of the stretch-release adhesive, skip to this step. Otherwise, follow the next two steps for each battery cell with remaining adhesive.

    • The next two steps will demonstrate how to separate the stretch-release adhesive if one of the tabs breaks.

    • Apply high-strength (>90%) isopropyl alcohol along the edge of the battery.

    • Tilt the iPad to allow the isopropyl alcohol to work its way underneath the battery.

    • The next three steps will demonstrate how to remove the battery board adhesive.

    • Apply high-strength (>90%) isopropyl alcohol to the battery boards between the cells.

  90. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Separate the middle adhesive: stap 90, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Separate the middle adhesive: stap 90, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Separate the middle adhesive: stap 90, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Be very careful with this step, as it's easy to separate the battery from its board. Note the two battery layers to avoid damaging the boards:

    • Don't slice between the battery and the board.

    • Slice between the board and the frame.

    • Insert an opening pick under the middle of the two battery cells to create an initial gap.

  91. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 91, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 91, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement: stap 91, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Insert the corner of a plastic card into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the plastic card under the battery board to separate its adhesive.

    • Repeat the slicing procedure for the other battery board.

    • At this point, the battery should be separated from the frame. If there's still resistance around the edges, slide an opening pick around the perimeter of the battery.

  92. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen Battery Replacement, Remove the battery: stap 92, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the battery.

    • During reassembly, remove the old adhesive with tweezers and isopropyl alcohol and apply stretch-release adhesive strips, double sided adhesive tape, or pre-cut adhesive to secure the new battery.

    • If there are any drops of isopropyl alcohol remaining, use a lint-free cloth to wipe them away or allow the iPad to air dry before installing a new battery.

    • Don't reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.
