-
-
Erhitze den iOpener für dreißig Sekunden.
-
Im Verlauf der Reparatur kühlt sich der iOpener wieder ab. Erhitze ihn dann noch einmal für dreißig Sekunden.
-
-
-
Halte den iOpener an einem der flachen Enden und vermeide die heiße Mitte, während du ihn aus der Mikrowelle nimmst.
-
-
-
Fülle einen Topf oder eine tiefe Pfanne mit ausreichend Wasser, um den iOpener komplett damit bedecken zu können.
-
Erhitze das Wasser (ohne den iOpener) bis es kocht. Schalte die Wärmezufuhr (Platte) aus.
-
Lege den iOpener für etwa 2-3 Minuten in das heiße Wasser. Stelle sicher, dass der iOpener komplett mit Wasser bedeckt ist.
-
Nimm den iOpener mit einer Küchenzange aus dem Wasser heraus.
-
Trockne den iOpener gründlich mit einem Küchen- oder Handtuch ab.
-
Der iOpener kann jetzt verwendet werden. Solltest du den iOpener erneut erwärmen müssen, erhitze das Wasser nochmal bis zum Siedepunkt, schalte die Wärmezufuhr aus, und lege den iOpener wieder für 2-3 Minuten vollständig in das Wasser.
-
-
-
Platziere den erhitzten iOpener auf der linken langen Kante und lasse ihn etwa 2 Minuten in dieser Position.
-
-
-
Platziere mittig einen Saugnapf auf der angewärmten Seite.
-
Achte darauf, dass der Saugnapf komplett auf dem Glas aufliegt.
-
Halte das iPad mit einer Hand nach unten und ziehe den Saugnapf mit gleichmäßiger Kraft nach oben, um einen Spalt zu erzeugen.
-
-
-
Während du das Display mit dem Saugnapf anhebst, führe ein Opening Pick in die Lücke zwischen dem Glas und dem iPad Gehäuse ein.
-
-
-
Erhitze den iOpener erneut, platziere ihn an der gleichen Stelle und lasse ihn ein paar Minuten dort liegen.
-
-
-
Führe ein zweites Opening Pick neben dem ersten ein und ziehe es vorsichtig nach unten, um die Klebeverbindung des Displays zu lösen.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Opening Pick weiter an der Seite des Displays herunter, um den Kleber zu lösen.
-
Falls das Opening Pick im Kleber stecken bleiben sollte, dann "drehe" es die Seite des iPads entlang, um weiterhin den Kleber zu lösen.
-
-
-
Nimm das erste Plektrum, das du eingesetzt hast, und schiebe es nach oben zur oberen Ecke des iPads.
-
-
-
Erhitze erneut den iOpener und lege ihn auf die obere Kante des iPads über die Frontkamera.
-
Wenn du einen flexiblen iOpener hast, kannst du ihn so umbiegen, dass sowohl die obere linke Ecke als auch die obere Kante gleichzeitig erhitzt werden.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Opening Pick entlang der Oberkante des iPads und halte kurz vor der Kamera an.
-
Wenn du die Frontkamera erreichst, ziehe das Plektrum etwas heraus und schiebe es weiter an der Oberkante entlang.
-
-
-
Lasse ein Opening Pick kurz nach der Frontkamera im iPad stecken.
-
Nimm ein zweites Plektrum und setze es links neben der Kamera ein, wo gerade eben das erste Plektrum war. Schiebe es zur Ecke zurück, um jeglichen Kleber vollständig zu lösen.
-
Lasse das zweite Plektrum an Ort und Stelle, um zu vermeiden, dass sich der Kleber in der Ecke beim Abkühlen wieder verbindet.
-
-
-
Setze das vorherige Plektrum tiefer in den iPad ein und schiebe es von der Kamera weg zur Ecke.
-
-
-
Lasse die drei Plektren in den Ecken des iPads stecken, um zu vermeiden, dass sich der Kleber des Frontpanels wieder verbindet.
-
Erhitze den iOpener erneut und lege ihn auf die übrige lange Seite des iPads entlang der Lautstärke- und Verriegelungstasten.
-
-
-
Setze ein neues Opening Pick ein und schiebe es entlang der rechten Kante des iPads herunter und trenne so den Kleber auf.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Opening Pick weiterhin die rechte Kante entlang herunter, falls nötig, erhitze die Kante erneut mit dem iOpener.
-
-
-
Lasse die Opening Picks an Ort und Stelle und erhitze den iOpener erneut.
-
Lege den erhitzten iOpener auf die Seite mit dem Home Button und lasse ihn dort ein paar Minuten, um den Kleber unter dem Glas aufzuweichen.
-
-
-
Setze ein neues Opening Pick an der unteren rechten Ecke des Displays ein, und zwar unter dem letzten Opening Pick, das du benutzt hast, um die rechte Kante herunter zu schneiden.
-
Schiebe das neue Plektrum um die untere rechte Ecke des Gerätes.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Plektrum von der unteren rechten Ecke an der Unterkante des Gerätes entlang. Halte etwa 1,2 cm kurz vor dem Home Button an.
-
-
-
Setze ein letztes Opening Pick an der unteren linken Ecke des iPads ein, direkt unter dem bereits vorhandenen Opening Pick.
-
-
-
Schiebe das Plektrum weiterhin an der unteren linken Kante des Displays entlang in Richtung Mitte des iPads, bis es ungefähr 1,2 cm vom Home Button entfernt ist.
-
-
-
Verdrehe die beiden Plektren an der Oberkante des iPads, um den letzten Kleber abzulösen, der das Display befestigt.
-
Hebe das Display von der Oberkante her ab, um das Gerät zu öffnen.
-
-
-
Entferne die vier 1,2 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben über der Halterung des Akku-/Displaysteckers.
-
-
-
Benutze das flache Ende eines Spudgers, um den Akkustecker von seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board zu trennen.
-
-
-
Entferne die einzelne 1,2 mm Kreuzschlitzschraube, mit der die Kabelhalterung der Lautstärkeregelung befestigt ist.
-
-
-
Schiebe ein Plektrum unter das Flachbandkabel der Lautstärketasten, um es aus der Klebeverbindung darunter abzulösen.
-
-
-
Entferne drei 1,8 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben, mit die Lautstärkeregeleinheit am Rückgehäuse befestigt ist.
-
-
-
Ziehe die Halterung mit den daran angebrachten Lautstärketasten und dem Mikrofon aus dem iPad heraus.
-
Um dein Gerät wieder zusammenzusetzen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.
I didn't find this to be as hard as I had built it up in my mind to be; HOWEVER, saying that I need to say years ago I was the local Nokia service center in my town. But many years ago right after they got rid of analog times. Yeah. A classic installer/repairer mistake when starting something they haven't fixed or installed before is picking up the instructions, flipping through them; maybe even reading a section that is new-then tossing the instructions over the shoulder. "I got this." This usually comes right before something major gets broke. And I can tell you when you try to do it yourself and then mess it up horribly then take it to the repair shop. Well we called that "I can do it myself" syndrome and charged extra to put back together what they brought in in the box. Now knowing all this - I can't stress this enough because I am stupid, stupid, stupid. COVER YOUR SCREEN IN CLEAR BOXING TAPE AND READ ALL THE INSTRUCTION BELOW THROUGH TO THE END BEFORE EVEN ATTEMPTING THIS FIX. Take my advise.

I didn't have an iOpener, so I used a wheat type heat bag. If you do this though, make sure you put a layer of plastic between your Mac and the bag, or you'll get condensation in places you don't want it.
Martin Gray -
I started out using the iOpener but switched to my wife's hairdryer. A heat gun or hair dryer proved to be much more convenient and is a time saviour. You can heat more and the glue becomes more fluid make the next steps with the opening picks much easier
Jan Van Puymbroeck -
I know this is obvious, but backup your iPad with iTunes before you start. I'd also turn off your passcode if you have one.
Laurie Higgins -
Ther first time you heat up the iOpener for this repair when its room temperature I had to heat it up for more than 30 seconds. I remember I had to heat it up for around 45 seconds. However, after that when you need to reheat it again during the repair 30 seconds will be enough.
Yousef Ghalib -
I used the wheat bag in a sensor microwave heating up to 65-70 deg C (155 def F).
ian cheong -
Get yourself a cherry pit bean bag the size of your iPad. Heat it, put the iPad on it for 3 to 5 minutes or so, reheat the cherry pit bean bag, again put your iPad on it. Then heat the iOpener and start working. The cherry pit bean bag will have to be reheated several times, but it will soften the adhesive so you have less problems with the iOpener
Tim Feyaerts -
The heating can be done very effectively (and quickly) with 3d printer heated bed. Make sure the bed is clean. Set the temperature to 60c, (130f ) and put the ipad face down for +/- 10 minutes. Repeat as needed throughout the “gentle prying” stages.

The iOpener did not work at all for me.
I had to use a heat gun and bring the edges of the case up to ~200 degrees (used an infrared thermometer to measure) before the glue would weaken. This obviously superheated the metal frame, so I also had to wear gloves to handle the phone while prying the back off with the included picks.
Mike Jeanette -
Repair instructions worked like a charm. Had to be patient with the iOpener and getting the screen off. I tried repeatedly without success until shifting the suction cup a bit to the left side where perhaps the glue had loosened up a bit more.
Kyle -
The iOpener, in my opinion, is of no help. Many warnings to say “don’t warm it too much”, but the glue doesn’t melt if not warm enough. As a result, a complete waste of time and energy. In addition, too much liquid in it, so it doesn’t lay on the device on a sufficient surface. I took a hairdryer and it worked much much better.
laurentvidu -
I used an immersion bath to heat this to 180F and applied it to the device until the outside temperature of the opener read 150F with an IR thermometer. Removing the screen took very little force with this method.

My experience. I was replacing the screen which had been cracked and a little shattered in some places. The iopener is pretty much useless, so was the suction cup. The suction cup would probably be more useful if I was doing something besides the screen. Also you probably want the clean the screen before using it so it can get good suction. I used a hair dryer on high for a couple of minutes at a time (someone on this tread suggested that). I used my exacto knife and a razor blade to get into the adhesive. First the exacto to get the initial cut, then the razor blade to go a little deeper. Could have probably just used the razor blade, but the exacto has a little more finesse. I got the razor blade in and a little under the glass then I used the picks to wedge in. I didn’t want to risk anything using the razor blade too much. Used tape to keep the shattered glass together.

My experience pt2
Fortunately the shattering was mostly on the edges and most of it had adhesive on the back so it stuck together. Just take your time and work your way around following the guide to get the screen off. Have some goof off or goo be gone to clean the frame when putting the new glass on or putting the existing one back. (someone suggested that also, very good idea). Be careful of the LCD (you should know that). The cable on my LCD was pretty tight, so I propped it up while taking the cable cover off and when I put it back on I did the same thing. I just put a bottle on the battery and leaned the back of the LCD on that while attaching the cables and putting the screws back on the cover. Also be careful with the home button and the bracket on the back of it. I had enough old adhesive on left on the bracket that it stuck back to the new glass fine. So far only 12 hours in, so we will see how that holds up when the kids get at it.

Another alternative if you do not have the iopener is to use a bed time hotwater bottle. Do not over fill it though. Just put enough hot water in to support the phone while you work around the adhesive.
I use both the hot water bottle and iopener together on Samsung's. It makes life easier

I followed the directions and heated my iOpener for 30 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave, and it came out at 160 degrees F, as verified by a infrared thermometer. This allowed me to separate the last bit of the back of my Samsung S8, which was already coming off due to a swollen battery (hence the reason for the repair).

Hallo,habe den Akku erfolgreich getauscht.Doch seitdem gibt es bei Telefonaten eine Rückkopplung für den anrufenden.Bei mir ist alles normal.Woran liegt das?Mfg
Manu R -
If you follow these instructions, you will crack your screen like I did. Heating the iOpener for 30 seconds, using it to melt glue, then waiting 10 minutes to reheat is useless. The iOpener can be used to maybe warm the glue on whatever side you aren’t working on. You need a hairdryer and/or a heat gun to melt the glue and separate the glass from the iPad.
Anyone want to buy an old iPad with broken glass and a dead battery?
mpulliam -
Not everybody has a microwave. You should provide a target temperature for the iOpener and instructions for a conventional oven, or pot of warm water, or whatever. Although I will probably use a heat gun …
Esmond Pitt -
Three times heating opener and no luck. Tried pressing down gently on opener with a towel, and the opener broke. Wondering if I now replace table mats, fancy table cloth, etc. or will this stuff wash out.
Not impressed so far. Maybe the hair dryer next.
doug -
I support the comments about the iOpener. Everyone has a hair drier, FHS, so get a cheap IR thermometer (£18) and blow heat until the area is 60+ deg C. Still takes w while, and getting the screen off is v scary, but just add more heat if you feel resistance.
The rest of the kit is good, esp the magnetic screwdrivers.
Richard O'Brien -
No, everyone does not have a hairdryer. Some of us don’t even have hair. Thank goodness I already had an IR thermometer, though.

#### WARNUNG WENN MINIMALSTER SPRUNG IM DISPLAY IST FUNKTIONERT DAS NICHT!!! ######
Hatte einen winzigen, minimalen Sprung im Display. Ich dachte es könnte gehen, weil der Sprung “abgeschlossen” war. Er hat in einer Ecke ein winzige Glasteil rausgeschnitten. NEIN! Geht nicht. Habe alles mit viel Geduld dem iOpener und einem Föhn erhitzt. Es ist trotzdem sofort über das komplette Display zersprungen…

I’ve started with iOpener but changed very quickly to a heatgun. That was more efficient.
Mizzoo, s.r.o. -
I could not get the iOpener hot enough to melt the glue on my ipad 6. I heated for 45 seconds once and it was boiling and it still never worked. Thank goodness contributors mentioned using a hair dryer. Using an 1700w hair dryer on high did the trick to get the screen off. Still took some time and the case got pretty hot but be patient. It took twice as long and a lot more patience to get the battery out.
Randal Haufler -
I have an Ipad with touch screen issue, if i replace this part it should be Ok?

WARNING - DO NOT MICROWAVE ON A METAL MICROWAVE RACK
The metal microwave rack can heat up and melt through the iOpener cover letting the contents leak out.
Not a big issue for me as I have a heat gun and used that instead.
Run Up A Tree -
I opened my iPad with the iOpener. Be patient! It may take quite a bit longer to it the iOpener in the microwave than it says in the guide. My microwave can only do 800W and I had to put the iOpener in several times (maybe a total of 90-120 seconds). I recommend that you have the transparent side up an watch the bag carefully. As long a the bag doesn't bloat up and the liquid doesn't start bubbling you should be fine. But I recommend to take the iO out from time to time to check it. (More comments in Step 6.)
marcelflueeler -
I gave upon the I opener and used a hairdryer. (Fixed an iPad 6)
Tom Weber -
iPad mini gen5. I used the iOpener. My microwave is 1200w with carousel. 30 sec got the iOpener to 155ºF. For the 2nd heating, after 10 minutes sitting, the temp was still around 125º so I only cooked it for 15 sec. Not enough increase so +5 sec more which me to 165-170ºF. This should be considered ballpark info because who knows the real output of the various microwaves and the quality of the IR tool used to determine temp.
To successfully open my iPad mini I applied the iOpener twice to the left edge and twice to bottom. & once to R edge. Using the suction cup was difficult for me (I'm in my 70's so my hands don't work too well anymore). I had trouble holding the guitar pick and slipping them in (at an downward angle). In the end, sliding my thumbnail along the edge opened it very slightly and allowed the pick to get into the gap. I marked the ends of all my picks with a sharpie pen for the recommended 2mm insertion to avoid going in too deep. To get the screen open it took me approx 1 hour.
