How To: iPad Front Panel Replacement

[@CreamyBone]

I could watch this all day.

[@supershwa6977]

The glass assembly is called the "front panel". Just check Amazon or eBay for "iPad front panel". Make sure you're getting the right part (you may need to check the model # of your iPad). It should be between $20 and $40, roughly. Check out iFixit's website for instructions. If you have an iPad 2, instead of their "heat pad" remover you can use a hair dryer or heat gun.

She done a better job then everybody else plus a good video too.

[@BlueRidgeDave]

Thanks for all your helpful videos.. i hope i never have to do this but if so i know where to look

[@mndaddy]

Just bought an ifixit repair kit with my digitizer replacement no metal spudgers came with it, I cant get the pick between the edge after heating one side for four minutes with iopener pad and using suction cup started to break the glass.

[@jonmyles4531]

I've also hair dryer at full blast as recommended by battery seller with picks, no way it will even get in there, some sites recommend IsoPropyl Alcohol & another what looks like a microwave rice back warmer. Did you succed?

[@javiervalenciape]

Hello Nice video. I got a question: I did exactly the same, but when I put the new front panel, the LCD never turn on. Altought Siri keep speaking when I push the button. What could be wrong? did I screw up the LCD? Thanks for answer.

[@flipdotify]

Is it the same for the wifi+3G model. Or do I just not insert the tool were the black plastic is?

[@Mr2010gartman]

I see some people use hot air gun, is this safe? is it highly recommended or not? , or is this way the best / safe way?

[@Mr2010gartman]

Very good videos as always , by far the best vids online cheers

Is it possible to replace an iPod touch 4G back?

[@wormswithteeth]

My original iPad had a glass fall it yesterday. So upset. Dotn know if im condient engiht to fothie

[@ThexBorg]

This video needs a reassembly video... People need 'closure' 8-)

[@ThexBorg]

When the home brew dirties the tape securing the LCD it will never be secure... With this and any factory assembled device failing to secure it again with the correct adhesives will allow vibration and further damage should the home brewer assume it's 'as good as new'. So this is unfortunate advice for home brew maintenance I am afraid....

[@hamlet2029]

Hi mj , i was wondering , if i got an ipad 2 , is it possible to upgrade it to an ipad air 2 using your product, say change the front panel and the gsm board, let me know if it is too radical or cant be done ,thx

[@stevy9lives]

does this work for ipad 2 as well?

[@Nachocreep]

I really love Ifixit.com And the nerdy-tech girl... a lot! :D

[@XGempler]

ps, You will likely break the clips when removing the screen. So if you are just trying to replace the home button, power button, battery, or anything other than the screen, then you will need some replacement clips to get the screen installed correctly once again. pps. The other video is by contributor called GadgetMenders. No pretty girl but much more detail and insight into the construction, take apart, and the reassembly of the device. Good luck.

[@lordofthelamb]

do you have a video in how to replace a broken screen on a HTC Mozart

[@supershwa6977]

I think it's the iPad 3 - the iPad 2 (GSM) is assembled differently: instead of locking clips, the front panel is held in place with adhesive, and you have to be careful not to damage the wifi antenna when removing the panel.

[@XGempler]

Very pretty girl, clear and articulate, high production quality, but unfortunately has a major flaw. The tall right hand side of the panel of the first gen iPad is not held in place with clips but rather is held in with tabs that insert into edge of the aluminum frame. The top, bottom and left hand side has clips. Prying from the right hand side is possible but it puts tension on glass that promotes breakage. There is a better method shown by someone called GedgetMedders (no afilliation)

[@tv-mq5pk]

What could possibly happen if I didn't screw the four LCD screws? Shittt I forgot and already closed it.

[@jjoker795]

is that a ipad 1 2 or 3

[@m4ddoxs]

thanks so much for share ...its very usefull for me (y)

[@mariahharney4177]

Dude I unhooked the LCD the screen isn't working........

[@usmanhcbf0]

could you please bring less attractive people for fixing!!! i'm losing my concentration :P

[@RassBrass]

This is not ipad 2, or is it?

[@alixito3]

This can help me

[@turkiold55]

Hi mJ I like your job

[@abz2000123]

thanks for showing us how to open it, though if you'd said that the top, left, and bottom should be opened and the slid out...... i wouldn't have broken all those clips, the right side has fixed plastic clips that don't move............. still - at least i now know how to open it, peace

[@crazzzik]

CRUCIAL: If you going to attempt this repair make sure to buy screen clips because the on on the assembly are VERY fragile. During my first disassembly I've managed to break ALL of them. That is to say it is not my first time working with small and fragile devices.

[@wormswithteeth]

I went into my local Apple store. They said they don't replace the screen. New one or something like this £200

[@Mrepifany]

OMG this is WAAAAAY too much work, im gonna just pay some loser 100 bucks to replace my glass on my iPad2.

[@5dayslater]

I'm actually surprised Apple left so much room inside the iPad!

[@jeszilestrange]

Where's your handy dandy screw tray? :(

[@shinyakun1983]

[@pandy8785]

[@diabeteco]

@@pandy8785 "if it works you'll get a response" .... so ... it hasn't work and i've lost an important "cableholder" from the logicboard. the display goes on but no reaction while tiping on it

[@ThexBorg]

The metal spudgers permanently damage the seal around the glass screen.... So your friends will know you're a home brew tool kit."..
