    • Remove the four 2 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the LCD to the aluminum frame.

    What is the diameter/pitch of these screws in case someone (myself) loses them?

    At this step, since I was replacing the glass and the digitizer anyway, I simply cut the digitizer cable and set aside the largest piece of glass. Since the shattered section was over most of the digitizer cable, this made working with the remaining glass shards much easier.

    • Using a plastic opening tool or a spudger, lift the right edge of the LCD out of the iPad.

    • Rotate the LCD along its left edge and lay it down on top of the front panel.

    • Be careful as you move the LCD. The ribbon cable is fragile and may break if it is flexed too much.

Conclusion

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