Chosen Solution
I need some assistance. I’m trying to change a cracked screen on an iPad 7. The screen is not coming off at all despite that i’m applying heat using the iopener and the heat gun. The customer told me that he never took that ipad to a repair shop so we both agreed that Apple sealed that sucker real hard. It sucks that they are preventing us to work on their products. #rightorepair I would love to receive some assistance, any tips would be appreciated.
This video should come in handy. I know it’s cracked and you may or may not have a heat mat but a heat gun should do just fine. The factory seal apple uses on these things it pretty tough but you should be able to get it off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRaxvV05… Once you get it off, use some acetone and q-tips to get the old adhesive residue off. It’ll help the new screen adhere better.
Around 70-80 Degrees heat. Let that heat “soak" into the glass edge to soften the adhesive, then use a drop of isopropyl. Will come off lovely when done right. But not too much iso, as you could get it in the backlight layers. What tool are you using to pry the glass?
Check out my youtube video of iPad 8 they come apart the sameYou will need a metal pry tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPPAFNHg…
