hello we have had a mini ipad fixed last year and been sitting in cupboard, they had to glue the screen down as it kept popping up in a corner. but we now have a problem with a section of the screen not working at all, so need to get a new part but how do i remove the screen now that it has been glued down? annoyed with local repairers what to buy the equipment and have a go myself have replaced batteries and screens on iphone already. thanks for the help.
Well I use a hot plate to heat up the iPad to 80°C then I use a razor blade to start lifting up the glass a bit from the side then slide a thin plastic flexible card with either ethanol or 99% isopropyl alcohol on it and slide across the edge only (never go too deep in, you can scratch the LCD or damage the antennas at the bottom.) There is also a guide on how to remove the front panel glass: iPad Mini Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement Use the images of the screen as reference to how deep you can put your prying tools (plastic card etc) in.
