Removal
Warning
Wearing heat-resistant gloves to perform this procedure is recommended.
Note: Some images of the heated display removal fixture may show a different iPad model, but the procedure is the same.
Flip the switch on the back of the heated display removal fixture to turn it on. The internal fan will turn on. Wait for a checkmark to appear on the screen.
Note: If an error code appears on the screen, turn off the fixture and turn it back on.
Insert the iPad into the heated display pocket with the display faceup and the rear camera aligned in the cutout. Flip down the clamps on the sides of the pocket to secure the iPad.
Caution: Don't scratch the iPad as you insert it into the heated display pocket.
Align the cutout on the bottom of the pocket with the rail on the fixture. Slide the pocket with the iPad onto the rail on the fixture.
Slide the pocket into the fixture until you feel the pocket click into place.
Note: The screen on the fixture will turn red. Wait for the timer to start counting down from 2 minutes while the pocket heats to the correct temperature. When the timer shows 0, the fixture will start to beep and the screen will turn green.
- Caution: To avoid damaging the iPad, don't proceed to the next step before the timer shows 0, the fixture beeps, and the screen has turned green.
Turn the black knob on the fixture clockwise as shown to lower the suction cup as close to the iPad as possible without touching the iPad.
Note: The fixture will beep until the suction cup is lowered.
Grasp the handle and slide the suction cup straight out until the edge of the suction cup aligns close to the bottom edge of the glass.
Turn the black knob on the fixture clockwise (1) to lower the suction cup onto the display. Then flip down the handle on the suction cup (2) to secure the suction cup to the display.
Important: After the suction cup is lowered onto the iPad, a 15-minute countdown will begin. When the timer shows 0, the heated display removal fixture will turn off. Ensure that you complete step 8 and the cutting of all display adhesive during this time frame, according to the steps in the display removal procedure.
Slowly turn the black knob on the fixture counterclockwise two-and-a-half rotations. Wait 30 seconds, then turn the black knob counterclockwise another two rotations.
- Caution: Don't turn the silver knob.
Refer to the repair guide for the model of iPad you're repairing to complete removal of the display.
