Use this guide to replace the screen in your iPad mini 6.

You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.

    • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

    • Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes, and be careful not to damage the LCD screen.

  2. 6f5cwYWXuWWJVaNf

    • Completely power off your device before you begin.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the device for 90 seconds to loosen the adhesive underneath.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the device.

    • While you're waiting for the adhesive to loosen, note the following:

    • The areas at the top and bottom of the screen are sensitive to prying.

    • Don't insert a pick more than 3 mm to avoid damaging the screen.

    • There's a long circuit board attached to the screen that sits parallel to the left edge.

    • Don't insert a pick more than 1.5 mm to avoid damaging the circuit board.

    • The first two images are mirrored for demonstration purposes.

    • Once the screen is warm to touch, apply a suction handle to the bottom 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 screen and the frame.

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

    • Don't insert the pick more than 1.5 mm to avoid damaging the circuit board.

    • Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Slide the pick along the bottom edge of the device towards the bottom-right corner.

    • Leave the pick in to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the device for 90 seconds to loosen the adhesive underneath.

    • Repeat the heating, slicing, and leaving opening picks for the remaining edges of the device.

    • When you slice near the front camera, don't insert the pick more than 1.5 mm to avoid damaging or smearing the camera.

    • If there's still resistance around the edges of the screen, use an opening pick to cut the adhesive again.

    • Don't try to remove the screen all the way yet; it's still connected to the frame by a flex cable.

    • With the bottom of the device facing you, pull the right edge of the screen up and towards the left edge of the device.

    • Rest the screen upside down and parallel to the frame before continuing.

    • Don't twist the screen or move it too far away from the frame to avoid damaging the flex cable.

    • Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove the five 1.2 mm-long screws securing the frame bracket to the frame.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
