30分钟 - 1小时

简介

Use this guide to replace the flex cable that contains the power switch, microphone, and ambient light sensor in an iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi.

Be very careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily damaged, resulting in irreversible damage to the logic board. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.
