    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Place an object under your iPad so it rests level between the suction cups.

    • Position the suction cups near the middle of the left edge—one on the top, and one on the bottom.

    • Hold the bottom of the Anti-Clamp steady and firmly press down on the top cup to apply suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPad is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, use tape to create a grippier surface.

    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • If your screen isn't getting hot enough, you can use a hair dryer to heat along the left edge of the iPad.

    • For complete instructions on how to use a hair dryer, check out this guide.

    • Insert an opening pick under the digitizer when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next step.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Once the screen is warm to touch, apply a suction handle to the left edge of the screen and as close to the edge as possible.

    • Lift the screen with the suction handle to create a small gap between the digitizer and the frame.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap between the digitizer and the frame.

    • Insert a second opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the pick toward the bottom-left corner of the device to separate the adhesive.

    • Leave the pick in the bottom-left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

    • Don't worry if you can see the opening pick through the digitizer—just pull the pick out. The LCD screen shouldn't be damaged, but you risk leaving behind hard-to-clean adhesive.

  24. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 24, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 24, imagem 2 %32
    • Be very careful with this step. Take your time, ensure the adhesive is hot and soft, and make sure you separated all of the adhesive with a pick. Don't be afraid to stop and reheat.

    • Twist the two opening picks on the left corners of the iPad to lift the digitizer slightly, separating the the last of the adhesive in the process.

    • If there's a significant amount of resistance, reheat the edges and work along them with an opening pick.

  25. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 25, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 25, imagem 2 %32

    • Once all of the adhesive has been separated, open the digitizer like a book and rest it parallel to the iPad.

    • During reassembly, clean the remaining adhesive from the frame—and the digitizer if you're re-using it—with isopropyl alcohol. Replace the adhesive with our adhesive strips or pre-cut adhesive cards.

    • Be mindful of the display cables when reassembling the device. Make sure they are folded properly underneath the LCD screen to prevent any damage.

    • Do not attempt to fully remove the LCD. It is still connected to the iPad by several cables at the home button end. Lift only from the front-facing camera end.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the LCD out of its recess just enough to grab it with your fingers. There may be glue around the screw holes that needs to be cut with a knife.

    • Flip the iPad LCD like a page in a book, lifting near the camera and turning it over the home button end of the rear case.

    • Be gentle and keep an eye on the LCD cables as you flip the display over.

    • Lay the LCD on its face to allow access to the display cables.

    • Set the LCD down on a soft, clean, lint-free surface.

    • These photos show what the battery connector looks like underneath the logic board. Use these photos as a reference while you safely disconnect the battery.

    • Notice that the battery connector has cantilever springs on the logic board that press against the battery contact pads. Since both the logic board and battery are glued down, you'll need to slide something thin and flexible between the contact points to disconnect the battery.

  32. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 32, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 32, imagem 2 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 32, imagem 3 %32
    • Remove the single 2.3 mm Phillips #000 screw securing the battery connector to the logic board.

    • To reduce the risk of a short, you can use a battery isolation pick to disconnect the battery.

    • Slide the battery blocker underneath the logic board's battery connector at a 35 degree angle.

    • Don't push the battery blocker underneath the connector with excessive force. If you're having trouble fitting the battery blocker underneath the logic board, you can try using a playing card to disconnect the battery instead.

    • The battery blocker or playing card ideally should slide under the logic board without encountering any blockages. After insertion, it should rest at a 15 degree angle.

    • Leave the battery blocker in place as you work.

  33. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 33, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the three 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screws from the display cable bracket.

  34. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 34, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 34, imagem 2 %32
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to gently pry the display cable bracket straight up from the logic board.

    • The display cable connector is adhered to the underside of the bracket, so don’t push the spudger too far under the bracket, or you may damage the connector.

  35. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 35, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the LCD.

  36. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement, Front Panel Assembly: passo 36, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement, Front Panel Assembly: passo 36, imagem 2 %32

    • Use a the flat end of a spudger or a fingernail to carefully pop the two digitizer cable connectors straight up from their sockets.

    • To avoid damaging your iPad, pry only on the connectors themselves, not on the socket on the logic board.

    • During reassembly, make sure that these connectors are completely seated in their sockets, or you may encounter display issues.

  39. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 39, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 39, imagem 2 %32
    • Carefully peel the home button ribbon cable up off of the adhesive holding it to the rear case.

    • Remove the front panel assembly.

    • If you experience "ghost" or "phantom" touch input issues with your new display, this can be resolved by adding a layer of very thin insulating tape, such as Kapton (polyimide) tape, to the highlighted areas on the back of the panel. iFixit panels come with the proper insulation, and should not require the addition of any tape.

    • Without the proper insulation, these areas of the digitizer can ground out against other components, causing touch input malfunction.

    • The insulation is not visible to the naked eye, and is different from the foam dust barrier strips found on many iPads.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the home button bracket off the back of the front panel.

    • When reattaching the home button bracket, use a dab of adhesive or double-sided tape to secure the bracket in place.

    • Once you've separated one side of the home button bracket, firmly grasp the bracket and peel it off the front panel.

  45. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 45, imagem 1 %32 iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 45, imagem 2 %32
    • Press the home button from the external side of the digitizer to break up the adhesive holding it in place.

    • Apply pressure slowly. The adhesive is attached to a delicate gasket that will tear easily.

  46. iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement: passo 46, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the home button assembly.

does the front panel of the ipad5 fit here?

cndals0075 - Responder

The display connectors on the iPad 5 and iPad 6 are at different angles and not directly compatible with each other. We have not yet tried to force the connectors from an iPad 6 display onto an iPad 5 and vice versa to see what happened.

Arthur Shi -

iPad Air and iPad 5 digitiser are same. I have changed some digitiser on iPad 5.

Attila - Responder

Sorry for the confusion! I meant the digitizer connectors are different, not the LCD. You can see it in these pictures: iPad 5 vs iPad 6.

Arthur Shi -

Thank you for providing the walk-through. I was able to follow it and complete the repair without issue.
