Prerequisite-only guide to replace the front panel on an iPad 3 4G.
你所需要的
-
-
Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.
-
Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.
-
Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.
-
Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.
-
Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.
-
Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.

-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
-
-
-
There is a small gap in the iPad's adhesive ring in the upper right corner of the iPad, approximately 2.0 inches (~5 cm) from the top of the iPad. You are going to exploit this weakness.
-
Align the tool with the mute button. Insert the tip of a plastic opening tool into the gap between the front glass and the plastic bezel. Just insert the very tip of the opening tool, just enough to widen the crack.
-
-
-
-
Once you have moved past the Wi-FI antenna (approximately 3" (75 mm) from the right edge, or right next to the home button) re-insert the opening pick to its full depth.
-
Slide the pick to the right, releasing the adhesive securing the Wi-Fi antenna to the front glass.
-
The antenna is attached to the bottom of the iPad via screws and a cable. This step detaches the antenna from the front panel, ensuring that when you remove the panel, the antenna will not be damaged.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the iPad, pulling it out slightly to go around the front-facing camera bracket.
-
The adhesive along this section is very thick, and a fair amount of force may be required. Work carefully and slowly, making sure to not slip and damage yourself or your iPad.
-
-
-
Remove the four 2 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the LCD to the aluminum frame.
-
-
-
Using the tip of a spudger, peel back the piece of tape that secures the touchscreen ribbon cable to the logic board.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

It's best when replacing the front panel to power on the iPad once the new panel is connected to test the digitizer before exposing and laying down the glue for the front panel!
I would recommend that in cases of replacing shattered screens, that you tape the front panel glass with clear packing tape using overlapping strips, before you begin. This helps to ensure that the panel stays intact, and reduces the chances of puncturing the digitizing layer, and damaging the LCD upon removal.
You want to use clear tape so that you are able to see how any of the glass remnants are shifting during removal.
Top tip: check the LCD is in working order before you even take the new parts out of their packaging. I'm going to have to return all mine unfortunately, so glad I checked first.
My screen had spiderweb cracks originating right on part of the edge/frame and it was impossible to slide the picks beyond that point. The only option was to try to lift the "new" side which immediately sent many more cracks across the screen to the other side. At that point there was really no way to get the glass off because both sides where shattered and there was no glass to lift off… First repair that I've ever failed, bummer!
To prevent getting finger prints on the LCD and underside of the touch screen, wear a pair of latex or nitrile gloves.
