🔋🛠️🍏iPad Air 2 - Battery Replacement (A1566 and A1567)

[@teomcam]

Ill intended engineering and architecture. Simple battery replacement becomes total disambly of the device. Thanks for the detailed video

[@Themugit]

Thanks for the help. Keep posting

[@provablepaul8726]

Hi what size screwdriver do I need

[@leecast]

Thanks so much for doing this! Got me through it perfectly from start to finish!

[@raduarfloe8528]

Why do you do so many things when other videos show removing the battery just after removing the screen?

[@josepheichinger9367]

there's a loop around the screw hole for the battery tab, other people just wrench the board up to get the loop out, this would be the "safe" way to get to that loop.

[@aros007z]

Awesomeness

[@terryschmidt7850]

Apple sure never wanted customers to replace the battery. But this is an excellent detailed video of how to replace the battery. The Amazon replacement came with lots of tools but no instructions. I did have trouble starting to lift one corner of the glass, so cut away some of the metal case near the earphone Jack to get a start at it...then with extra heating had no problem going around the edge. I was concerned about the sheer number of connections and taped down components that were to be removed, so I looked for alternatives. I found that after I removed the first shield over the display connector, and the one screw directly over the battery connection to the main board, I was able to take a significant shortcut! I determined that if I headed from the back side, I could carefully lift the old battery from the back, so it was only captive by the small connector. By carefully heating and lifting the main board near the battery connector, I was able to lift the main PCB

[@georgelam7614]

Will the heat from hsir dryer damage the screen

[@terryschmidt7850]

I was able to lift the main PCB at the battery connector and lift the battery connector up and off of the tiny stand-off holding it secure. I then slid the new battery connector in place and took my shims out to seat the main PCB in this area. After reinserting the connector screw to secure the battery connector, and slipping 4 strips of double sided tape to hold the battery, I replaced the display connector shield and with the surround tape cutouts in place, re sealed the glass display with some heat, and presto, the job was done without disconnecting any connectors other than the battery connector. Sorry for the two part comment...accidentally sent the comment below before it’s time. Thanks again for a great video, couldn’t have done it successfully otherwise.

[@jean-philippejehan5126]

Go ahead! 😄😉

[@erinkourelis7430]

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

[@elenas6688]

Oh man - what a great job!!! Wow!!!

[@chrisliddiard725]

Thanks for the vid. After heating, a stanley knife is the easist way to prise the first edge, after that the small edge tool does the rest. Surprisingly, the hardest part of doing this was replacing the screws afterwards ;)

[@ggegguri]

Good to test all components before sealing it up.

[@bobbys2160]

I replaced my battery and just disconnected the battery and peeled up the battery across the logic board. This sure seems like a lot of unnecessary steps to replace the battery

[@Lexi10389]

Does pulling out the iPad battery can cause fire

[@bobbys2160]

not unless you short circuit the battery or you're powering the battery while removing it

[@pidera7486]

Okay so one thing I am going to point out, you obviously prepared that iPad prior to disassembly. Which is very misleading to those who may be trying this for the first time. Misleading in the sense that you do not use a metal pry-tool on the battery because if you puncture cells it can explode. Misleading in the sense that the effort required to actually remove the glass is actually significantly hard than what this person did. It is a good video for the most part, but if you are going to do a tutorial it needs to show all the hardships involved. Leaving out the challenge involved misleads first timers into thinking that this is an easy repair.

[@imthateddie]

Thanks for the video. Very detailed and helpful with my battery swap.

[@eibdoktor]

This is the 3rd video about replacing the A1567 iPad Air 2‘s battery, and it was the most complicated one. On the other hand, it showed me that it also can be opened using a regular hair dryer instead of a heating pan. So when I take all the simple things of those 3 videos together, ir seems to be quite easy to do the job myself successfully!

[@boleslawthegreat]

Go ahead!

[@sethwaldo]

Go ahead and go ahead.

[@cikko]

Scusa se mi permetto ma il tutorial va fatto su un apparecchio che non è già stato aperto in precedenza altrimenti sembra tutto troppo facile.

[@Molleras]

PLease I'm traying to change both cells dryed for another two new. Is very confused the (+ and -) mark on the original battery. From top the battery have ( + -) marks, but from the bottom are inverted... I need to know the + , - polarity of the power connector. The positive is on the camera's side and the negative is on the charging port conector's side? I think in the top label the polarity indicated matches with the conector's polarity, and from under the battery the polarity marks refers to the cells, is it correct?

[@w9x7cv3vg6]

OK ! this is official...you do not need to take anything apart like in this video...and maybe .you do not need to disco the ribbon cable for the screen...while the screen is standing upright ..slip your thingys under the old battery and lift it all up...then slide a insulated piece of whatever in under the plate that was undone by removing the battery clip holddown screw and just ease the whole unit up a bit..the battery then slides out and since the separation tool is still under..then take battery away...now put new one into that slot and whole new battery is still standing up..screw down that cover that you took off...now that battery connector is locked down...take the tool out and place battery down into place with sticky parts ready to do their thing...now you may not have to even remove the screen cables cover as they may be not screwed into the case underneath like the battery one..just try it..its amazing...only minutes

[@xerpiiDD]

Hi, is it also possible to glue the screen to the body? for example with t7000 adhesive or is it not necessary? Thanks

[@markcoveryourassets]

Al J , I had a Samsung 5 phone where the screen cracked due to overheating and expansion of the battery... because the device was in the case. Heat kills batteries, so I'm operating with no cases now. I paid some good money to replace the screen only to have it start to unglue from a corner. Didn't have warranty on the repair any longer, so I did use some superglue. Left some crusty stuff like superglue does but it has held. I'd recommend a more gummy kind of glue and set it with clamps. And my decision was based on my intention to replace the phone rather than replace the screen if it failed again, hence the cheap fix. If your question is specific to the iPad, my apologies.

[@Soulcommander]

Wow you removed everything compared to some vids where they don't probably best to do it your way to prevent breaking things.....Question when you do the battery replacement does the Ipad lose any settings etc? Your link is outdated for parts. What type of tape do you use?

[@georgelam7614]

What is the temperature(hair dryer) to heat the screen

[@andrewkiss9518]

I soak iPads and iPhones to 80-90°C; it's much easier to use a cardboard box as an oven and get heat properly in.

[@xmenken1]

It is a lot of precise work and very difficult.

[@kamsyed4450]

Yup lots of ahead...but good tutorial

[@axelespinal]

I'm stuck on the motherboard, it doesn't want to come off. I've heated it and tried cards, picks and spudgers but it simply doesn't want to move.

[@aljubab7979]

I think making a fighter plane is easier than removing and installing an Apple battery. Very stupid design

[@VegaSpydr]

Do me a favor, anyone who is watching this, get a solvent like 50/50 acetone and 90%+ IPA, get a pry card and use that to get the adhesive off of the back of the battery, using a metal prytool is a surefire way to cause an actual fire from puncturing the battery.

[@iannagle]

There is a super-important step missing here and it caused me to destroy my logic board. There is a single screw which attaches both the battery and the logic board to the casing. If you don’t remove this before trying to lift the logic board you will damage it. Please add this step to your video

[@Neeva01]

Ian Nagle bugger 🤧😪

[@Xpert2077]

Honestly I am in this field and this video is very bad...First of all would you work on something electrical without removing the power source first? No, so why didn't he disconnect the battery before removing parts? You wouldn't work on your cars electrical system without disconnecting the battery am I right?

[@iannagle]

@@Neeva01 did I do something to you or offend you in some way - I don't understand your response

[@iannagle]

@@Xpert2077 You are so right - I wouldn't follow this video

[@andrewkiss9518]

@@Xpert2077 Explain how you disconnect the battery when it's captive between the spigot on the chassis and the logic board? That's the whole point of the video, explaining how to free the battery up. The alternative is to remove the battery screw, free the battery (most likely bending it with the associated risk) and then pry the logic board up enough to get the battery out. You might want to find another field.

[@MaelstromGuy]

I charge my ipad and it shows the apple logo, i see the home screen but it inmediatly shuts off and shows a low battery icon on a black screen, i tried different chargers and charged it for about 8 hours but the cycle repeats, do you think its a battery issue?

[@jonsnell4751]

I wonder if the metalwork and three screws were added or did he place them discretely in the bin I wonder. See 8'59" and they are still outside of the iPad.

[@distracteddiy9719]

it was the heat shield and its screws. must have thought them uminportant

[@bermyvlogger]

dang. trained by apple i spose. o no they would say replace the whole device lol. serz i do these and phones for a living and its faily easy to remove a battery thats been overheated a few dozen times and NEEDS replacing by just lifting the logic board a touch after u pry the battery loose. a heating pad gives better heat distribution so maybe thats the difference

[@poosnip]

Literally just did mine …. This is overkill. It is the simplest thing. Apart from dealing with adhesive for screen and battery. Be careful with the screen. Remember to lift the logic board so that the battery can lift over the connector (nipple).

[@draxquirnon6809]

I followed your instructions and replaced the battery but now my iPad is stuck on the Apple logo screen. Any ideas?

[@keving10254]

This IPad has clearly been disassembled many times, yours will not come apart anywhere near this easily!

[@andrewkiss9518]

Yeah it will if you get it warm enough to free up the adhesive. I use a cardboard box as an oven and a heat gun set at 80°C; six minutes in there and the adhesive lets go, no problem. I do the same, face down to ease the logic board adhesive when it's ready to come out. I've used this technique on over one hundred iPhones , iPads and other makes of phone.

[@dylanwebber763]

There's no need to remove EVERYTHING just to get the battery out. I can't support the methods shown in this video

[@w9x7cv3vg6]

he must work for apple ! wants ya to give up..i am goin to try pryin up the battery pack as in the last step or so of his..there cant be anything around the sides to worry about all this disconnect..glue on bottom side of battery may be all…

[@someonethatsafanofucuzurpretty]

My dad is watching this rn 5:30

[@B1u3Monk3y]

Go ahead count = 43. That’s a go ahead every 12.9 seconds or 4.65 go ahead pls per minute. 😂 great video tutorial though

[@GRIBSOFT]

Haha, yes, I guess I was in a "Go ahead" mood when I edited this one lol!

[@therealjackieheezy]

you actually trippin on that and counting the shit is way more ridiculous than him saying the shit believe that

[@jeffreythomas3024]

I’m in the IT field and after seeing this,I’m definitely taking my iPad Air II to the Apple store,I’m NOT delving into this thing 😎😎

[@chrisliddiard725]

Ha ha ha. That's the whole point of this vid, to put you off this simply battery replacement.

[@darkychangaming3236]

I can't seems to reconnect the connector beside the back camera. Any idea? It seems a bit short to go back into its connector

[@eurono5283]

Yo can you help me with this irl?

[@dorissonbass]

why tear your ipad apart when you can do it with removing only 4 screws? took me an hour + half an hour replacing the old glue and strips...

[@emerysteele]

You don't clean the old adhesive off? That screen will start lifting in 6 - 12 months

[@spaceblank4258]

Stay hydrated, bro.

[@howardlamhut4922]

Most of what is shown in this video is completely unnecessary disassembly… This is the equivalent to taking the engine and transmission out of your car to change the battery, it’s completely ridiculous. There are other videos that are superior to this one. You only need to take the display off then remove the battery and replace the battery everything else can be left completely untouched. Watch the video presentation created by Geardo . It shows the proper and professional way to change the battery.

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

Leave it to Apple to make a battery replacement like taking the engine apart in a car, just to change the radio station.

[@walterwhite3427]

That's why, never buy apple.

[@graftoninc]

I want to go back thought.

[@fmagalued]

If you have an eye problem, it’s better to bring it to service and let the pro do it. Precision parts especially the screws are difficult to install if you have a sight issues and not really technically inclined of what you are doing.

[@zfinman]

I have great hands from fly tying and brain surgery, but this is WAY too much! One wrong move and you get a new paperweight. Save yourself the hassle and take your iPad to the Geek Squad at Best Buy - if they trash your unit you can get a new one on them!

[@coletrick8748]

You are removing way too much stuff! Unnecessarily removing side antennas and the rear camera for no reason whatsoever.

[@johnnybravo8736]

The amount of times "go ahead and...." is said is incredibly distracting

[@ronaldcarrel5388]

go ahead go ahead go ahead - the most abused verbiage on youtube

[@pczarn]

What a stupid and user unfriendly design - to change battery, the most used and abused part, you need to disassembly the whole unit. Where are old engineers and designers are - dead probably from shame.

[@fyxitman]

pczarn that’s the whole idea. What a pita

[@TheShattenjager]

pczarn I agree they definitely go very out of their way to engineer it so it is murder to replace. Why? Because then you buy a new one, and they make a ton more money. I personally do replacements on phones, but I doubt I’ll risk it for my iPad. I will get a company to do it for a little money. I personally asked an Apple employee and they said they don’t do batter replacements. Their attitude is just buy a new one. Yeah, money is no object of course. It’s a dilemma because, let’s face it, their products are phenomenal. But I guess the only way they stay that way is by raping everyone. :( If I could accomplish my needs as fluidly and amazingly well on a non-Apple tablet I think I would have a go at it. But these days they’re almost as expensive but not nearly as good. :(

[@npolite22]

@@TheShattenjager I agree with you on this. I tried using Android and even on the higher end stuff it still isn't like iOS. You only if you are lucky get 1 update and then apps no longer are supported on the older versions. With my Ipad I am on iOS 14 even 6 years later. I am going to attempt this repair and if it works great, if not well I will be looking for a new iPad.

[@pittwm]

Are you wearing a Nautius while trying to not pay Apple 99 dollars for battery LOL

[@GRIBSOFT]

I paid for the battery. This video is intended for the viewer to benefit, not me. You are correct it is 5711 watch.

[@pittwm]

Save Apple Dollars Beautiful watch.

[@HookCircle]

Man, so needlessly complicated process. All that adhesive and the loop under the mother board is just completely unnecessary. Apple brags abut saving environment by not shipping you charging block and makes everything possible for you to NOT repair your older devices and just go buy a new one from them. Such a hypocrites.

[@mishong3]

This is way too much work to replace the battery

[@xmenken1]

It is almost impossible to replace battery for Ipad air 2 yourself because users have to dissemble everything before they can reach the batteries.

[@fungames24]

It's not impossible if you watch other videos first. This video is trying to break the ipad.

[@Acura1NSX]

What a joke, just have Apple replace the battery... my time is worth way more than this ridiculous timely operation!

[@andrewkiss9518]

But not worth enough not to comment on this video?....

[@TeamProsperity]

you’re totally taking the damn thing apart lol you don’t have to remove everything like you are doing the cam and everything omg 😱 you do know the more components you disturb the more likely you gonna FU** it up!

[@jessicagasco26]

Is anyone else going to notice that he did all that unnecessary work and didn’t even change the battery.

[@huddarudda2244]

he took it out and put it back, what's confusing? whether it was the same battery or not is no matter. He's doing it as an editorial for goodness sake, perhaps the battery was fine

[@markcoveryourassets]

It's an AI battery that is programed to survive by forming a symbiotic relationship with electronics and the human need for distraction. Biologically speaking, the battery stays alive by using its electronic host to entertain humans and cause them to keep it charged. The batteries are actually made of the DNA of Steve Jobs. I work on watches as a hobby, and this looks like a bit much unless you've done it a few times on someone else's gear.

[@vibhavarisatwik8114]

Op

[@ottusio]

I followed directions being very careful with the screen and it got damaged. The battery worked alright but the screen itˋs all corrupted or something, it was more than great before starting the job. Thanks for a huge waste.

[@mazrimplays]

This video is awful WTF im half way through teardown and i go to another video to check an angle i cant see only to find out i dont need to do 75% of the nonsense he did here.

[@w9x7cv3vg6]

he works for apple to make people un interested in doing it

[@Trendsetic]

With all the money Apple spends on R&D this is the best they can do for battery replacement? Laughable. Android should eat them alive. The magic is over...and I do love the simplicity of the iPad. But Android has left Apple in the dust long ago. The iCloud tracking feature is useless compared to "Where's my Android" and Google Home connectivity. Where is all that money going Apple? Funny how they became what they accused Microsoft of being all those years ago.

[@huddarudda2244]

Pretty easy to copy stuff and run with it. Funny how if it wasn't for Apple, Android wouldn't have anything to reverse engineer and try to make better. Just about every single decent tech device on the planet has started because Apple released it to market first ... if anyone else could innovate that would be nice. Im still waiting. DOS vs Mac.. Windows were born to catch up. iMac - processor built-in to the screen - unheard of! iPod - iPhone - iPad - Apple Watch - I mean seriously. Before Apple released each and every one of these there was not a SINGLE decent Android device that even came close. Apple have to invent it before everyone else jumps on board - no-one else even had an App Store before Apple.. the list is endless. They're responsible for more millionaires that have made their riches via Apps on both platforms than any other Compnay.. very easy to play second fiddle... still waiting on something that is innovative and new that Apple can copy... oh, hang on.. I guess the second button on the mouse, Okay I'll give you that. Apple tried to pretend it wasn't a must for too long then invented the Magic Mouse which was when released again was another first.. nuff said.,

[@Trendsetic]

​ @Hudda Rudda Generally ideas can't be copyrighted. Apple stole from Xerox and evolution continues. ​ The problem with Apple (I speak only for myself) isn't their product, it's their greed and culture. They make enough profit margin to produce their superior products in the USA, but rely on questionable Chinese work conditions. They slow down older products, because they are arguably either greedy or addicted to cash. Saddest thing is, they've become what they, in the beginning accused Microsoft of being. I was an original Apple fan, I left when their products became too costly for me. It seems they are profit driven more these days. Steve Jobs wanted to put elegant computing into the world. He did that...now they are focused on maximizing profits and keeping their products exclusive to those with deeper wallets. I use them now however and I'm largely indifferent to platform.
