Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement, Tape over a cracked screen: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement, Tape over a cracked screen: stap 1, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement, Tape over a cracked screen: stap 1, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Completely power down your iPad before you begin.

    • If your screen is cracked, lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's screen until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the screen.

    • 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.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and be careful not to damage the LCD screen.

    • Removing the screen involves using an opening pick or halberd spudger to separate the adhesive securing the screen to the frame.

    • As you slice through the adhesive, note the following:

    • The top has a large patch of thick adhesive. You'll need to slice 1/2" deep in order to cut the adhesive.

    • Don't slice deeper than 2 mm along the long edges of the iPad, or you risk damaging the display panel.

    • The lower edge also has thick patches of adhesive, but there are delicate flex cables in each corner. Don't slice deeper than 1/4" around the lower corners.

    • To help mark the iPad's orientation, you can apply a piece of tape to the top edge of the iPad screen.

  3. iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement, Heat the left edge: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement, Heat the left edge: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Heat an iOpener and lay it over the left edge of the iPad to soften the adhesive holding the screen in place.

    • Alternatively, you can use a heat gun, hair dryer, or heat pad. Be careful not to overheat the iPad—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Wait two minutes for the adhesive to soften before proceeding to the next step. The edge should be slightly too hot to the touch.

    • Before you install a new battery:

    • Peel and remove any remaining adhesive strips.

    • Remove all adhesive residue from the iPad frame. Use isopropyl alcohol and a spudger to scrape off any adhesive chunks. Wipe away the adhesive residue with a lint-free cloth.

    • If there's any alcohol solution remaining in the iPad, carefully wipe it off or allow it to air dry.

    • Be sure that the iPad frame surface is completely clean and free of debris. An uneven surface can press into the replacement battery, resulting in premature battery failure.

    • Align the battery connector with the iPad's battery post and lay the battery in the iPad.

    • Press down on the battery for a minute to stick the battery in place.

Thanks for instructions!

I changed the battery successfully but while heating in order to remove the screen, 12 small magnets for the Smart Cover came off… any idea how to put them back?

Thanks a lot!
