• The battery isn't disconnected for this repair, so power the iPad off and drain it below 25% first. Keep metal tools away from the board and battery, and never bend, crush or puncture the battery
• The glass is glued down over a separate LCD. Tape over cracked glass, then warm the edges with the iOpener or heat pad in short passes (too much heat can damage the battery), lift it with the suction cup and work opening picks round. Keep the pick shallow along the bottom right edge, where the Wi-Fi antenna sits for about 75mm in from the corner, and use the iPlastix there
• Track your screws on a magnetic mat. Remove the four 2mm #00 screws holding the LCD, lift it from the edge nearest the volume buttons and lay it over like a page, then flip up the flap on the LCD cable connector and slide the cable out
• Peel the digitiser cable off the board with the spudger, pull it straight out of its two sockets and thread it out through the slot in the case. Fit the new cable back the same way
• The home button, camera bracket and foam come fitted to the new glass, so there's nothing to move across. Clean any glass shards out of the frame first
• Test touch, the home button and the picture before you seal it, and leave the protective film on until the new screen works. If it doesn't turn on or show a picture, force restart it by holding the top button and Home button until the Apple logo appears
• Clean the old adhesive off the frame with isopropyl alcohol, peel the liner off the pre-fitted Tesa tape, line the glass up and press it down evenly all round, then hold it while the adhesive sets
