iPad 1st Generation Disassembly/Reassembly Repair Part 1

[@MannYgfx]

This video saved an old iPad today! Apple Genius bar deemed it dead and wanted to throw it away for me as it just looped and wouldn't connect to itunes. I figured it was the battery that was dead after so many years discharged. I took it apart, re-charged the battery with an external charger for a couple of hours, and put it back together. Now it's working perfectly! I love repairing things instead of throwing them away, and this video helped me do so. Thanks a lot!

[@CommanderMouse72]

If they’re bootlooping like that I usually just leave them on a 12W charger overnight usually revives em

[@MannYgfx]

@@CommanderMouse72 Yeah I had mine on a 12W charger for 3 weeks and it was still looping.

[@Gearvana]

Good work Magnus! That's super awesome to hear. So much of this "older" tech is being disposed of so we love to hear stories of "keeping the party going" ;)

[@benj3911]

Is there a guide on how to recharge with a 12W charger?

[@zacktanda1813]

I know I am very late but the thing at 15:09 I think is for WiFi this is because it is a metal back so it will be limiting to the WiFi. The Apple logo is plastic so not as bad!

[@Bear2U]

Astute observation grasshopper, you obviously due for a review b4 your video

[@Clancydaenlightened]

the wifi chips are on the cable with the charger where you marked that one with the marker so if you're ipad has no wifi just find a replacement charger port assembly and switch it out and do a restore.

[@Rosamerygarcia]

U comment this at 2015 Wow

[@Bear2U]

​@rosaxxrose8504 you reply this at 2023 wow

[@SimpleTechMan]

I feel sad that the older gadgets like the ipad 2 are almost unusabe today. I made this video on the best ways to use our old devices. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks.

[@thisthingmint250]

Ipad 2 fine

[@reynaldolalaguna1409]

I have ipad gen 1

[@reynaldolalaguna1409]

Mostly much olde

[@Bear2U]

Your face looks much older than your hands, I must know your secret

[@John-iu9kz]

I have a I pad air 4 and I have a I pad 1 I need to fix it because it broke the black thing at the top broke and it won't work

[@xx3868]

TIP= I made a tool that slides down with a piece that then gets behind each clip and you slide sideways to pop it inwards and release from outside case. I then keep all the right hand side clips and remove the top and bottom ones and use only 2 on left side to lock it into place ready for easy removal next time in just 1 min. I also add thin pieces of double sided tape to pad the sides out so it clips into place with no movement. Leave the top side unsticky so the screen is only resting on tape and not stuck to it for easy removal.

[@DaveTheReaper666]

I would guess it's like a prytool with a larger flap that gradually brings the tab in?

[@ThurstanDavies]

What keyword do I use to find replacement tabs (digitizer edge) on say eBay for the iPad 1? Having difficulty finding them.

[@itzmanny9319]

Found em yet?

[@therealloganyt237]

Found em yet?

[@danieldubberly2083]

You should tell people to run the stripper tool between the metal and rubber. Screen is less likely to break.

[@Bear2U]

I think you just didz, friend told me 🙂

[@francyshardware5840]

hi i have an iphone 4 a 1332 with no wifi any ideas?

[@Bear2U]

Unplug your router, plug back in 😉 or check wiring harness if you have cover off. Use a multi meter to check continuity across things with obvious contact and no resistors between. Even a blind mouse finds a nut now and again 🙂 thats not sarcasm, is one way to troubleshoot when technical bulletins or manuals aren't available 😉

[@Bear2U]

Bring to my house, ill dive in with ya 😏

[@charlescho]

Great video. What is that board behind the Apple logo? You can see it in 16:17.

[@Bear2U]

Yes 👍

[@maryandesanchez5807]

muy bonito y bien explicado sus vídeos, Felicitaciones..... una consulta tengo un Ipad 2 de la apple de repente solo se veia unas lineas azules y luego se vio pantalla negra la resetie conectandola a la pc con itunes y se restauro pero enciende y se ve la pantalla un momento luego otra vez pantalla negra, luego se ve y otra vez no, de carga en la bateria tiene 77% que cree que tenga mal sera la pantalla o la bateria...... ayuda por favor gracias

[@Bear2U]

Sussman doesn't repair anything, he just steal them from you at restaurants, when you get up to go pee pee 😉

[@Bear2U]

It's goose, it's cooked 💯

[@Bear2U]

Yes it could be 😊 friend told me 😉

[@boozamnboozamnin6816]

You might want to move the current step/procedure bubble to a top corner or move your logo altogether so you can place it lower as it certainly gets in the way quite a bit. A minor inconvenience & OCD trigger (ha) but it is more important than having your logo displayed all video. Just my 2¢ Great video altogether, & thank you very much!

[@Bear2U]

OCD🤔 old cooky developer ¿

[@sully4019]

I have found that if you remove the plastic from the batteries, the batteries come out easily, leaving the plastic frame which is easier to remove without batteries

[@calebdrake3544]

Think my old iPad 1 needs a new battery...wondering if I need to replace the battery. Where do you buy the batteries and the tabs?

[@Bear2U]

Amazon

[@davidrichard2765]

Nice to see how it’s constructed but I don’t think I’ll attempt to open it up.

[@Bear2U]

A can of whoopass 🤔

[@federicogonzalez03]

Does the a1219 still work with all the updates this 2021??

[@Bear2U]

No, no not 🫣

[@veenadawra8159]

I also have this i pad but it is just showing that logo and again and again the logo is blinking pls make a video an that thing thanks

[@TheSavethetigers1]

How do you know if you 1st Gen ipad needs a new battery?

[@Struwex]

Ruth Yoerg if it doesnt work

[@sclogse1]

And make sure your charging cable isn't busted...they aren't well made. Borrow a friends to check.

[@wabanstyle]

Can you please tell me where you got that little tool you’re using to pry the iPad open. And maybe other tools you recommend to use in this procedure. Thank you

[@mrarcadia]

iFixit sells a lot o very good tools for this kind of job

[@Bear2U]

​@@mrarcadiaive heard of that business, heard the owner makes comments like the one you replied to, then replies similar to yours to plug the business without paying for advertising or breaking advertising laws. She must be a beautiful angel genius master teacher Empresa 🤑

Can ioad drives be cloned for drive upgrades?

[@Bear2U]

Absolutely

[@tipp0183]

Gotta tech question for you. Can i wire/solder my first generation ipad so that i can use the screen as an input monitior for my HDMI camera?

[@suehanna3975]

Dwight Stewart hhhh

[@daveryan7944]

I don't know if I should give you a thumbs up because I am having an issue replacing the screen to the LCD. You covered everything but what I NEED TO KNOW !! :-(

[@stevenholt1867]

put the iPad all back together again and hope it works

[@Bear2U]

Is that an order or request 🤔

[@edu.33]

Hi my iPad won't charge so we are gonna buy a new battery. Can I take off the old one without taking off all the other stuff? Thank u

[@59fiftycap]

Unfortunately, you have to disassemble it before taking out the battery. You can't just remove the back and plop in another battery.

[@Gearvana]

Eduvex We wish it was only as easy as popping a new battery in, but unfortunately it does require a decent amount of work. If you're not comfortable tackling it yourself, we'd be happy to do this for you.

[@edu.33]

GearVana I am from Barcelona and I can do it by myself, thank u :)

[@edu.33]

GearVana Is stil not charging and now the speakers are not working. I will buy that piece to put the usb, u know XD

[@TheDorapapi321]

+ceerreape why bother changing the battery of that dogshit tablet, you spend 75$ and you still have a shit tablet

[@xipu2581]

ONG! (Oh, no god). Thank you for your clear instructions, I was able to fix my Ipad. A million thanks!

Since you in Karen mode I will return favor. ONG ( Oh, " No "* " God "*

[@Bear2U]

O is upper case, o is lower case, N is as well upper followed by it's subtlety different lower 👉n, last but most certainly not least G is the upper form in America trailed by its lower tag along g. Personally I always capitalize God's first letter of his name, the fact God isn't his givin name leaves this practice open to interpretation as far as my phonics teacher is concerned. 😚

[@billstose5131]

I purchased my iPad in 2014/2015 is it considered a 1st generation??

[@floydp6217]

this was the hardest thing i ever had to do. was being very careful, i didnt use much force, and I still managed to crack the glass. :(

[@RubyDash_]

Floyd P tell me about it I was so gentle

[@The_Phone_Bin_Diver]

I don't know how you guys crack the screen it's literally the easiest part to remove on this pad

[@davidrichard2765]

My iPad finally stopped working after about ten years, the screen is now simply blank with a faint glow when I touch the power button.

[@TK.919]

Did you try to fix it? I'm having the same issue here and I suspect it's the battery

[@geraldmoore6066]

I to had the same thing, I think it is the motherboard that has gone, not sure what to do with it I don’t want the information out there if someone gets a hold of this and get the information off of this.

[@MannYgfx]

This is a dead battery, I fixed mine by taking it apart and charging the battery with and imax B6 LiPo-charger and boosting it in NiMh-mode. If you don't have a similar charger available you might as well buy a new battery instead. Genius bar wanted to recycle my ipad for me as they couldn't fix it.

[@e.man.prime2113]

That last piece isn't to light up the apple logo, it's the wifi antenna.

[@Peter.Sky.Walker]

Are there two wifi antennas? What is the black box next to the power input that the other wifi-ish type cable goes to?

[@Peter.Sky.Walker]

Shit, I just realized this comment was from 5 years ago.

[@LamarINH]

David Sky Walker oof

[@macflod]

What tool is that? A pry tool?

[@Bear2U]

Is called a persuader 😉

[@classy.redneck]

Managed to change the battery without cracking the screen! Great video.

[@Bear2U]

👏 good on you 😊. Ima attempt same today, hope I be as lucky as you 🤞 wish me luck if you're still alive 😊

What is that behind rear apple logo??? A spy cam for big brother??? I placed a tape over it and now my iPad won't work!!!

[@johnnyappleseed65]

A window for your wifi connection, paranoid idiot

[@jameschronixx6209]

I have problem I forget iCloud account

[@jgunther3398]

I was reading today these were designed to be disposable, but given the replaceable tabs clearly they weren't.

[@Bear2U]

The tabs could have been produced for new tablets in factory and found their way onto oem list on service manual. What you iterate may very well still be true. 😊

[@clydeakiraairepanes4130]

And if the screen is so cracked that you can't tell if the volume, on/off, and home buttons are working?

[@kokajr]

Why the heat? Im new at this

[@kadenmartin3607]

To heat up the adhesive and make it easier to open

[@PauperoftheFishies]

the thing is, my power button isn't working, and neither is home button triple click, which is why I want to take the back off

[@sandeeprajbhar9686]

Helo bro kya app ke pass ipad mini 5 ya 8th mil jaye ga

[@CrazyFunnyCats]

If you use a hair dryer to heat up edges those tabs don’t break as easy Good vid thanks bud

[@Bear2U]

🙂 excellent idea, saranghae 😉

[@Resist4]

I know this is an old video but there are few things he got wrong. First, you don't need to use a heat gun to unstick the battery. Second, that isn't a light behind the apple logo, it's the wifi antenna.

[@Peter.Sky.Walker]

What does the other cable go to?

[@blueman7747]

Pls help me that os my ipad but it wont open help me pls

[@lasmanualidadesdeyohana8758]

[@Gearvana]

Might've been on a Blackberry Torch actually haha...this was from quite a while ago but is still relevant today.

[@Honestcritic79]

that is not to make the apple logo light up lol. That is an antenna they put there because it is plastic since they can't put it anywhere else on the metal ipad housing and there is metal behind the screen.

[@staliangaming7101]

jeeze dont pry it like that! squirt some acetone around it to dissolve the adhesive! and it will come up much easier

[@philipdixon9234]

Classic american engineering - need to take the whole thing to bits just to change the batteries!

[@rossr6616]

Battery is bonded tightly to the aluminum housing to disperse dangerous battery heat from charging. With lithium it's unwise to allow owner to replace the cell as it must be the same precise chemistry, which determines peak charge voltage. Charge circuit is designed for a particular chemistry so as not to apply too high voltage resulting in thermal runaway, aka fire. Is there a quality tablet made where you can easily replace the battery? Do you really want a tablet powered by 32 AAA batteries?
