iPad Air 2 Battery Replacement

[@johnkozarevich3552]

I just successfully made this replacement. What you need to add is the 4 screws you need to remove are super micro small and you will need an incredibly small Philips screwdriver. Fortunately I had just ordered this special screwdriver. Apple wants to make it as difficult as possible to do the job yourself.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback

[@1Cor13.4-7]

Congratulations!!! About how long did it take?

[@Plasmo20]

Far simpler than other guides I have watched. Just an observation on the voice, slow it down a bit so the words are clear and separate as we need to get the accent and the words. Having the subtitles is a smart move, as is the testing the screen method. A++++++. I now am ready to do mine. Thankyou. update: Cracked my screen, battery works though

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for pointing out mistakes/errors & improvements , we will work on it..Good luck with the repair..

[@Video2Web]

i cracked my screen too

[@simplysodamel]

The slower you go the less likely you are to break your device it's not a race.

[@iDoctorUK]

Great, clear instructions. although a little misleading. the screen on this has been removed before you made this video.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for the feedback.We have shorten the video in removal process.Now I think we should have kept that process too. Thanks

[@perceive8159]

Be careful with these models! If you crack this screen or lcd it’s an expensive fix on these iPads, you can replace the glass but you need the proper tools, actually the screen replacement is the most expensive out of all the iPads, the glass screen is glued onto lcd, they dropped that arrangement with the next generation iPads , the battery replacement is quite straight forward as you have shown and thanks foe sharing!

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..value your inputs as well..

[@Stevieab]

Yeah I’ve just did that 😤 was very careful but now I’ve got grey lines on screen

[@antoniochiera7770]

Ciao, sei bravissimo. Buon 2023.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks 🙏

[@reyflowers]

Really eye opening. I'll be making this repair in the future.

[@GeeTrieste]

That battery connector is a bit hairy. Remove the screw, and the connector slides in, but the motherboard has to be lifted in order to get the connector in. And it appears to lift the motherboard, it has to be heat separated from the body partially.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback

[@iandamianluciferwilson7385]

Worked for me following your instructions. Perfect thanks.

[@DIYGeardo]

Great to hear!

[@asianafia18]

How much does it cost to buy all the equipment lol

[@jgr971]

Hi...At how many degrees( C°) and how many minutes (mn) did you leave the iPad Air 2 on the heating mat in order to take off the screen? thanks you

[@DIYGeardo]

I would say starting with 80-100C for about 2-3 minutes around edges. After that with 60c with 1 minute intervals. Some devices can open easily and some are not..it takes time and needs patience..

[@jgr971]

@@DIYGeardo it's a blue heating mat like yours that I have...so it heats up all of a sudden.?

[@IDraganM]

May I ask what kind of glue did you use and would it be a problem when opening next time?

[@DIYGeardo]

we were using b7000/t7000 glue.They are easy to remove with some heating.

[@clinten3131]

I gave up I dont fully understand what to do with the battery connection I tried to lift it op like shown and pull the battery out but it was stuck. Im gna pay to get it done I guess. Also lost a phillips screw in the process those are tiny. I got afraid to wreck the ipad.

[@alanrichardson2034]

I can’t hear the make of the glue you suggest, what is it please?

[@DIYGeardo]

B7000 / T7000

[@adriaanschepel9001]

Hi. What glue did you say you were using to reattach the screen? Thanks.

[@DIYGeardo]

Precut double sided tape or b7000/t7000 glue

[@adriaanschepel9001]

Thanks. I managed to keep the original glue strip in good order, and just heated it up as I was reassembling. It has all stuck together well. Thanks for the video!

[@sali-ali]

@@adriaanschepel9001 If you drop it, the screen will come of and damage the flex cable. B7000 glues are very cheap like $2, $3 for 25ml. Don't use the original adhesive.

[@RS-eo7ij]

What type of glue do you use to hold the screen down?

[@DIYGeardo]

B7000 / t7000

Hi, I want to ask that can I put an ipad 6 logic board into an ipad air 2? Thanks!!

[@DIYGeardo]

i haven't tried it..it looks the same, but i am not sure it will fit in properly..Because it is not only the logic board, you need to place parts too..so it might not work properly..But again i didn't try before,

[@thirstylmao]

@@DIYGeardo nevermind but thanks!

[@1Cor13.4-7]

Thank you so much for this well done tutorial! My iPad won’t charge beyond 25%. So a battery change is in order. I got my new battery yesterday. I changed it today. How would I trouble shoot if it doesn’t power up after replacing the battery? Is it possible I got a dud battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

Always possible to get a bad battery. Check your connections, can you see anything on the screen?

[@1Cor13.4-7]

@@DIYGeardo No. the screen is black. It was working before changing the battery.

[@DIYGeardo]

@@1Cor13.4-7 did you seal the screen? Did you test the screen before closing the iPad?

Very good tutorial

[@DIYGeardo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Lycenius]

So disappointed. It was a good video, but several suggestions could have been clearer, like how far in using the tool when separating the screen. What is "too far"? I found out, and DAMAGED the screen, making it unusable. I could have avoided that if I knew how far in that was. Like after the cover was removed you could have pointed out the width dimension of the adhesive all the way around. Also if you could have showed a close up view of "the pillar" would have helped to know what the battery connecting was coming up and over on.

[@simplysodamel]

You could have easily made your screen bigger. I made sure to watch it on a TV. There is a reason why he uses a very thin plastic card so that that doesn't happen. If you've never replaced a battery before in any electronic device I wouldn't recommend starting with an apple product. I am blind af and saw just fine.

OMG I don't undestand why you not use adhesive 0,25 - 0,3 mm for tutorial. Cheap glue B6000 look horrible and this glue use only amateurs. This application is not dust proof....

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback..if you are using adhesive, you should get pre-cut adhesive. Otherwise it is better use b7000. There are original b7000 glue which is great for devices. But again it comes to individual preferences..

[@rozbitesklo6349]

@@DIYGeardo B7000 is not good adhesive. Include resolvent. And stick is not dust proof. After some time this glue have degradation :X And Glass must be 0,3mm over frame. Wjen is down have different shepe :X Construct adhesives are better. But must be proffesional not cheap Chinese production....
