How to replace ipad 3 screen
Replacing an iPad 3 screen is a relatively simple process, but it does require a few specialized tools. First, you’ll need to purchase a new iPad 3 screen. You can find these online or at a local electronics store. Next, you’ll need to disassemble the iPad 3 by removing the two screws from the bottom of the device.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to slide off the back cover and access the battery. Be sure to disconnect the battery before proceeding. With the back cover and battery removed, you should now have clear access to the iPad 3’s screen. Carefully remove the old screen and then attach the new one in its place. Be sure to reconnect the battery before reassembling the device. With these steps, you should now have a new iPad 3 screen up and running.
Tips and troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble removing the old screen, try using a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive. This will make it easier to peel off. Be careful not to damage the LCD cables when removing the old screen. If they are damaged, you may need to replace them as well. When reassembling your iPad 3, be sure to align the digitizer cable correctly. If it’s not properly connected, the touchscreen may not work.
