You forgot to mention the MOST IMPORTANT part of the install. BEFORE REMOVING the digitizer and the LCD ribbons you MUST DISCONNECT THE BATTERY ribbon cable. If you unplug the LCD first it will cause you to blow your backlight fuse for the LCD.

[@YankelMyWankel]

it's a risk but not a certainty. I just did it without disconnecting the battery.

[@thebeetlejoose]

@@hey-zel There's a tiny fuse on the main PCB on the iPad that will have to be sent in to be replaced. It's a super small surface mount fuse. At this point it's cheaper to buy a new iPad.

I think this guy is on the right track but there are always better and safer methods for accomplishing the task of disassembly and repair. I am a technician in an ongoing training process to keep up with new devices and used this video as a guide. I found that the metal plate opens out to the left like a book page if you gently slide it to the left of the case and lift it up to the left from the lower right corner.

[@offbeat8057]

I am still using this iPad mini in 2020. Idk when my dad will buy me new iPad mini 5

[@user-ti2xi9bd4u]

I wanted to change my iPad mini battery and went up to KZbin to search some teaching video . After I watched this video, I was like NOPE, NOT TODAY SIR !

[@YankelMyWankel]

Just completed another ipad screen replacement, if you're interested in having it done we can do it for you for $100.00 just look us up at www.prestigecomputersolutions.net we pay return shipping with insurance!

[@Jarekurban6]

you forgot to cover the home button replacement. Most screens are sold without it so i think its important

[@lanewolfleg5193]

Oh yeah, they did say that the battery takes most of the room in the iPad

[@Lethalis1234]

I've sent my iPad Mini back to BestBuy 3 times now because of dust being under the glass just from normal, everyday use. My current one is ok as of now, hopefully it stays that way.

[@lizd6406]

I have the iPad mini one, just gave it to my dad, after making it run faster, I now own the iPad Pro 2018

[@piesaturn6282]

guys who can help me? i have an ipad mini 1 and i want to take the mother board into a new with new battery and screen etc. what would i need to rebuild an ipad?

[@gilthirdyv8923]

Hi My ipad mini LCD is flickering. I just tear it down and back still same problem. What should I do?

[@YankelMyWankel]

Word for the wise to anyone doing this, after you start remove the digitizer, if the break is bad and it starts splintering, you will need to be VERY careful how much heat is applied to the bare LCD, as it can cause a cloudy-like appearance and is annoying.

[@acdrcongo]

When are y'all going to have the digitizer available on the website? I'm not seeing it right now.

[@charatkakkar13]

OMG, its just like an operation of a human being!

[@dimaphotography2926]

i have ipad mini damaged,and your video was helpfull.thanks!

[@laurajphillips]

Fantastic Explanation?

[@damianukowski5382]

God... Can't look at it for longer than first 5mins

[@mattagee8104]

Where did you buy those suction cups ? I really like those !

[@donutthepanda9306]

Can you do a video on an iPad mini 6 2021 screen replacement video. (Must use original digitizer from iPad).

[@laurajphillips]

Does the I Pad Mini have a battery my Mini won't recharge the battery icon does show up but shows battery empty ??

[@FranciscoJavierUrrutiaVallejos]

Awesome!

[@sbdumanonjr]

bravo! cheers for sharing...

[@adnanalam1841]

very good video , clear instructions: just wear rubber gloves just to make sure!!!!

[@rnaderpo38]

I am sorry to say but this video is so inaccurate.

[@mxrcvrii]

Open it up like a book kinda like a MacBook Pro

[@abuzarbuddin3463]

important thing you need to remove the battery connection first before removing other parts that connected to the board, to avoid shorted.

[@asprix6354]

my iPad broke down and when i put the screen back touch worked "great" and then i "accidentally" ripped the wire holding it

[@gua-pi-mao]

I got one 1st gen in2021

[@vladimir1k851]

Hello! Prompt please , at what temperature warms Eran before removing ?

[@user-wo6cp8iv9n]

It is not that easy as soon as I tried to slide my tool under the screen it just shattered the entire screen thanks for making my ipad garbage great fucking channel

[@jean-lucdeleon941]

Thanks! I am now able to make this way more faster also is it safe to put an A10 chip in that?

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

nope

[@bensaidmazen5532]

big thanks

[@sandeeprasal7078]

My iPad mini screen is flickering , what part to replace , I have done the entire resetting to factory reset still it didnt helped

[@gettingatchudjsaywhattothe5565]

[@deadlock742]

[@marvinkuvHERNIkanal]

best disassembly

[@aronnuqui3416]

Im watching this cuz i forgot my icloud password :(

[@GinMotoLoko]

nice one ^_^ thanks

[@Optiwebdk]

You have to disconnect the battery first at all times where did you learn your electronics

[@ticthak]

There's absoluetly no way to access the battery without pulling the display (not just the digitizer

[@YankelMyWankel]

you should really research before you open your mouth, because the utter ignorance that flowed from it is astounding.

[@ticthak]

Sean Feehan I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that your comment was directed to my post. Since I was basing my post on a unit I was dismantling at the time to replace the digitizer. it was Q. E. D.- the display under the digitizer has to be removed to access the digitizer connection, concurrently exposing the battery and its connection to the motherboard.

[@SolarTopaz]

Thierry Phillips no I meant the op

[@francissantiago1410]

I won't gonna do this , it's too scary:)

[@MrEnterainment]

Nice vid!!

[@lanewolfleg5193]

If I don't type anything for ten seconds, that's when I can't type, cause the iPad would turn off, then back on instantly

[@andrewgibb8846]

I broke the screen 😬 There will be no reassembly.

[@Optiwebdk]

You open it top to buttom nok like a book

[@Christkid84]

next time show how much adhesive and where you place it on the ipad

[@YankelMyWankel]

Just order the pre-adhesed ones from ebay.

[@mariabrown4523]

I went to get my screen fixed today and they left a little bit of a piece of paper out...AND they put a screen protector on a got a giant crumb on it. So don’t go to the CPR place it’s so dumb

[@BurhanRana]

Watching this on my ipad mini :P

[@matk22]

give your self a pat on the back

[@MdTanvirHossain1991]

F**king hard to Disassembly.... Now i worry about my ipad mini..

[@moonk.3501]

awsome :)

[@flashbak01]

Wouldn't want you working on my iPad Mini! Show them the back cover where you placed it and slid it on the tweezers numerous times.

[@thatnewguy23]

[@misterkota1252]

Nothing even remotely official about this.

[@Aaooee]

Not a complete "teardown" only partial.

[@stukkervsmongoose]

Congratulations, just remove the lcd panel when the battery is still connected. I hope your backlight gone.

[@rmacarmel8163]

EXCELENT

[@useruser-pc1vc]

can i send you my i pad to fix it ?

[@ifixsmartphone9079]

Good Job???

[@OfficialNURREX]

iPad mini desply problem plz help me call nabr

[@Electricfrdm]

doesn't even mention the two small magnets! Battery Connector?? This is not a good video! at least he can count screws!!!

[@YankelMyWankel]

This is actually a very good video, the LCD was a little trickier for me to get out because this video looks like they had it out already, there was too much flex for my tastes in the lcd getting it out, the tape at the bottom was annoying too. I did forget to put that little magnet near the power button back in.

[@TheTruthBeTrolled]

That has nothing to do with it! You: "Uhhh, man...I need to make up a worthless comeback so my proverbial nuts don't shrink up and turn into a vagina. Great video, btw! Thanks. :)

My ipad minis button is stuck at the bottom and not working

[@TheDARKOMETER]

Me too but who cares?

[@BurhanRana]

Me tooo, and did anyone notice that the brand new ipad was already activated?

[@yitzchan]

Me too. LOL.

[@hunterallen6861]

***** 😂😂😂

[@ThePapolaco]

It's so cool my ipad is broken and the screen in peeling off and I just touch the screen and not the LCD and it works lol

[@CT-nb5lm]

My daughter broke the charger w/. a piece inside the ipad female charging port. ugh.. I can't get it or grab it as it's only a pice of the male charging cable... I hate these... this is my Fams last run of iPhone & ipads.. we have 3 % 3 and im sick of the arrogant/crooked iPhone genius store esp after they tried & failed to lawsuit the repair guy in NYC...SCREW THEM FOR TRRYING TO MAKE IT SO ONLY THEY CAN REPAIR EM.. (OOPS CAPS)

[@piegus32]

If someone is watching this, never do this way with LCD. There is easier way to disassembly screen. watch?v=w9q3osjxmtc&t=178s - there are 2 stickers on bottom :)

[@BurhanRana]

Why the brand new ipad was already activated?

[@zahidhamid2290]

it must be second hand

[@andrekhammachone6561]

watching this on my cracked and broken iPad mini

[@stevelyttle4433]

Please help. The screen will not come on.i did everything just right. Does all of it have to be screwed in for it to work

[@YankelMyWankel]

you likely overflexed the LCD cable or otherwise damaged the LCD... If plugging in to a charger does not give you any display, you likely have damaged the LCD or didn't hook the battery back properly if you unplugged it.

[@matk22]

theres a few steps that made me think, wow! is that how you do things!

[@kiyotakaayanokoji8399]

I’m come because my brother iPad has break by my father Cuz he play game so much.

[@TheChickenrun3]

wtf why was a brand new iPad filled with fingerprints?

[@melanieeditss]

Watchin' this with my Cracked and Open iPad Mini! 😭

[@user-wo6cp8iv9n]

Yup shattered my screen to trying this

[@minecraftmcscuvi9807]

Lol

[@crazygame2022]

Esa pantalla le cae a la 2 mini

[@ShiftnoteProductions]

he sounds like tom cavanagh or harrison wells

[@savinbabu3856]

My iPad mini lightning port or charging port is damaged any way repairing it

[@MandoRdgz]

so cutting the LCD tape does not do any harm? where you used the knife...

[@YankelMyWankel]

No, it's just tape to cover up circuitry and add a little extra stability, completely unnecessary.

[@MrEnterainment]

Thank you

[@rubantin]

Replaced digitizer and LCD.. For some reason I can not get the digitizer to recognize touch. The home button works though

[@JYKDutchYT]

Touch screen or touch id ?

[@Daniel-dl6fp]

Id say you blew a touch filter

[@Lethalis1234]

They allowed me to return it.

[@rioegoputra1]

good

[@aldocorderocardenas]
