Which mobile devices break down most often? Those that people love to use are constantly in their hands and sometimes fall over: mobile phones, smartphones and tablets. In percentage terms, among the tablets on hand, the Apple iPad of different generations is the most popular. Just a week ago I found out that the official Apple service does not repair devices, but replaces them with new ones at an additional cost. With this material I am starting a new series on repairing Apole mobile devices and more. Therefore, when sending your iPhone or iPad for repair, know that they will replace the broken parts with non-original ones. The quality of the repair will depend not only on the technician, but also on the selected parts and their prices.

How to replace a broken screen in an Apple iPad 2 GSM 64 Gb? Using this example, I will tell you and show you how to replace the protective glass of an Apple iPad 2. I will explain how, if necessary, replace the display, repair a broken Home button and a number of other elements. Repairing an Apple iPad 2 is similar to repairing an Apple iPad New; the devices are assembled in the same case. Apple iPad Wi-Fi is easier to repair than the version with GSM and GPS module, due to the lack of additional antennas.

It is advisable to turn off any device before starting repairs, to protect yourself from errors. But this is not always possible to do, for example, the area of ​​the screen where the shutdown slider is located has stopped responding or the Power button has broken. Considered case of iPad repair without turning off the device.

The iPad comes apart from the front. However, like the iPhone 3G and iPhone 5. First, you need to remove the protective glass of the iPad. The frame around the display is heated with a hairdryer to melt the factory glue, the temperature is about 140 degrees. Next, insert a scalpel or a stationery knife into the lower right or upper right corner and slowly peel off the protective glass. When the gap is large enough to insert the second blade, insert it and slide it up or down the long edge. Instead of a scalpel, you can use ordinary plastic picks; working with plastic instruments reduces the likelihood of damaging the device. The task is to walk along the perimeter of the frame and stop in the lower left corner, where there is a capacitive touch glass cable.

Peeling off the glass with a blade should be stopped a centimeter before the volume buttons, so as not to damage the cable. Next you need to peel off the glass towards the Home button, also stopping a centimeter away. When the corner of the protective glass is torn away from the aluminum body, it must be pulled until there is a noticeable tension. The protective glass on the iPad is durable and will not crack even with significant bending. The cables will be visible in the gaps that appear; carefully press them against the body and continue to remove the glass with a scalpel. Go to the lower left corner past the Home button.

Then you return to the top edge, behind the Power button you need to be extremely careful, there is a GSM antenna and its cable. It is necessary to peel off the glass by pressing the antenna against the body. The next antenna is GPS, it is attached more securely than GSM; tear the glass away from it with a bold movement. The left side peels off without any special tricks, and at this point the first and most difficult stage has been completed.

If one of the cables is damaged when removing the protective glass, make repairs more difficult. It will be necessary to splice the halves of the train; or replace the entire module. For example, a GSM antenna and its cable that goes under the display.

Opening the iPad frees the display matrix and controls from captivity. The Home button is removed along with the broken protective glass. Second, you need to remove the iPad display. Unscrew several screws in the corners of the matrix frame. Lift the display, find the cable fastening latch and open it by hooking it with a blade. Remove the cable from the connector and put the iPad display aside. If the Apple iPad display itself is damaged, replace it with a new one and put everything back together.

Third, remove the iPad touch screen cable in the same way. Please note, if you are repairing an iPad that is turned on, after removing the display and capacitive glass cables, you cannot press the Home and Power buttons; the backlight in the device will turn off. By pressing these buttons, the Apple iPad sends a signal to the cables; their absence will give 0 and the tablet will stop working with them. There is nothing wrong with turning off the backlight; the repaired iPad will start working normally after a reboot.

What an iPad looks like under an x-ray does not give the same impression as a live opening of the tablet. The lion's share of the space in the iPad is occupied by the battery. The batteries are permanently glued and replacement is almost never required. Frequent breakdowns in the iPad are: failure of the Home and Power buttons, and the 30-pion connector. The device is so simple and elegant inside that there is nothing left to break mechanically. The Home button is removed when repairing a broken display; I will not consider it separately. In order to replace the Power button on an iPad, after removing the protective glass, you need to unscrew the two screws on the right side, disconnect the cable and change the button module.

I will not consider breakdowns and repairs of the Apple iPad when the tablet is wet, damp, flooded with water or drowned in this material. Most often, for such a tablet repair, you need to remove the metal screens from the motherboard and resolder the chips.

When an Apple iPad 2 or iPad New is dropped, it happens that the aluminum case is dented, most often a corner. It is necessary to evaluate whether the protective glass fits tightly into place. If not, then use a file to grind off the jammed area of ​​the body. After this operation, the Apple device looks like a logo has been bitten off. During the renovation process, the task was slightly changed: how to turn a white iPad into a black iPad. All the color on the iPad is concentrated in the frame around the display. There is also white plastic in the edging of the case, in the 3.5 jack connector and 30-pin connector, but not enough to attract attention.

Pay attention to the upper left corner and the upper edge of the Apple iPad 2 GSM; there is a GSM module and two antennas here. The Wi-Fi version of the iPad does not have these elements. The sore spot in the iPad 2 is the cable from the GSM modem to the motherboard. This 50-wire cable is mounted on conductive adhesive and comes off when subjected to a strong impact or fall. Its damage is fraught with the following problems: the iPad does not see the SIM card, the GSM connection disappears, the GPRS session is constantly interrupted, the tablet does not find GPS satellites. Replacing a cable is a complex operation; such repairs cannot be performed at home. The repair consists of replacing the cable with 50 soldered thin wires.

Fourth, remove the Home button from the old glass and apply it to the two contacts under the display. The operation of precise positioning of the button relative to the iPad body and the frame so that the part does not move to the side when gluing. Double-sided tape is glued to the edges of the Home button, which lies on the contacts. The new glass is placed in place and the button is glued to it. After this, the glass is removed along with the button.

Reconnect the display and protective glass cables. The display is secured with screws.

Fifth, for repairing iPads and other tablets, they invented and successfully sell 3M double-sided tape. The adhesive tape has rounded edges, the radius of which is exactly the same as the radius of the corners of the iPad. Corners are glued to corners, longitudinal stripes are glued to the edge of the tablet. Two drops of Super Moment Gel glue are added to the lower left corner, where the screen cable runs. Super Moment is needed to protect the loop from breaking; When exposed to direct sunlight, the iPad will heat up and the glass may peel off.

Sixth, remove the film from the second side of the tape and attach the protective glass in place. This completes the iPad repair. Replacing the glass on an iPad takes about two hours of work if you know for sure what is what.

It happens that your iPad Pro tablet stops turning on, the touch screen does not work, or the screen is broken. In this case, you will need to replace the ipad pro display with a new one. Of course, you can take the device to the nearest service center, but it is much easier and more economical to replace it yourself by purchasing a screen module.

The causes of iPad Pro display breakdowns can be:

  • mechanical shocks;
  • moisture penetration;
  • placing heavy objects on top;
  • failure of the microcircuit (mainly due to power surges during charging);
  • problems with the cable or printed circuit board;
  • manufacturing defects.

Preparatory activities

Warm up the thermal bag in the oven or microwave - the heating time should not exceed 30 seconds. When removing the thermal bag, try to grasp it by the edges. If you see that it is too swollen, do not touch it as you may get burned. In general, the thermal bag retains its heat for 10 minutes. While disassembling the device, you may need to warm up the device several times.

If your glass is cracked, it is recommended to seal it with tape. The entire screen is glued to prevent splinter damage during disassembly. In addition, such protection will ensure correct opening of the tablet. It is recommended to wear glasses just in case.

What tool should I prepare?

To replace the display you will need:

  • 6 picks for opening;
  • sucker;
  • spudger;
  • thermal bag for heating glue or hair dryer;
  • screwdriver.

Before starting work, be sure to turn off the tablet. You should purchase a replacement part - a display assembly.

Replacing the ipad pro display: a detailed guide to action

  1. The ipad pro has adhesive strips in different places. The following photo shows where the thickest layer of glue is. Knowing these places, you will need to vary the depth of penetration of the mediator.
  2. Place a thermal bag on the left edge of the iPad. Wait a few minutes for the glue to soften. If you don't have a thermal bag, you can use warm air from a hairdryer.
  3. Place the suction cup near the left edge of the tablet exactly in the middle.
  4. Hold the corners of the iPad and gently pull up a few times. Such manipulation is performed in order to weaken the tightness of the gadget.

Once you see a small gap, insert a spudger or pick into it. The sharp part of the tool should not penetrate further than 2 mm, otherwise you risk damaging your tablet.

  1. Place the thermal bag along the lower left corner. After the glue has softened, insert a spudger near the pick and run it along the bottom left edge. Remember, do not push the tool too deep. You may need additional heating of this part of the device.
  2. Insert the pick at the bottom left edge (closer to the corner), removing the spudger.
  3. Warm up the top corner of the iPad, touching the front camera. Once the glue has softened, insert the paddle above the pick on the left corner and remove any excess glue by working your way up to the corner.
  4. Remove the spudger and insert the triangular plate as shown.
  5. Now your task is to completely warm up the top of the iPad Pro. Insert the spatula a short distance and move towards the front camera. Once you reach it, stop.
  6. Directly in front of the front camera, replace the spudger with a pick.
  7. Warm up the top using a thermal bag again. After a few minutes, insert the spatula behind the front camera and move it to the upper right corner. After removing the glue, replace the tool with a plastic plate.
  8. To soften the glue, once again place a thermal bag on the right side of the device. Walk the spudger to the middle of the iPad (stop in front of the front camera). Replace the instrument with another mediator.
  9. Go a little lower and insert the spudger between the display and the back of the case. Draw it down along the right edge, going down to the corner.
  10. Once again, replace the instrument with a mediator. The location of the plastic is the lower right corner.
  11. Using a thermal bag, soften the glue connecting the parts of the iPad from below. Insert the spatula again and run it from the right corner to the center of the end. You need to stop at a distance of 1 cm from the Home button. If you do not do this and continue to walk with the tool, you may damage the cables. Remove your spudger and use a plastic triangle.
  12. Turn the thinnest edge of the spatula and go directly under the button.
  13. Having overcome the “Home” button, you can again drive the paddle deep, clearing to the left end of the lower edge (the pick is already installed there).
  14. Look at the diagram from step 1. Make sure that the areas with the thickest glue strips have been successfully cleared. Otherwise, you will have to carry out additional cleaning of the glue using a thermal bag.

This iPad model has very short cables. Do not rotate the display around the bottom edge. The cables can also become unusable if the screen is raised 80 degrees.

You need to lift the display 60-70 degrees to access its individual parts.

  1. You need to remove the battery as a short circuit may occur. To do this, you need to unscrew 9 screws (eight 1.2 mm and one 2.4 mm). Keep the display open and ensure that the display cables do not become kinked during operation.
  2. Lift up the metal shield protecting the motherboard. It will take some effort to remove the plate. It may become slightly deformed during removal.
  3. Unscrew the 1.8 screw covering the battery connector using a screwdriver.
  4. Insert a battery lock or any other tool into the motherboard and leave it there for isolation purposes until the repair is completed.
  5. Remove the 3 screws above the display cable bracket (2.4mm and 1.2mm). Remove the metal plate.
  6. Remove the two cables from their sockets on the motherboard.
  7. Now you can remove the display. Be sure to remove all remaining adhesive and install new adhesive strips.
  8. Replace the screen.
  9. Reassemble in reverse order.
