Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Drain the battery below 25% and power the iPad off before you start. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire if it's punctured or damaged
• The screen is glued to the frame. Warm the edges with the iOpener or heat mat in short passes, lift it with a suction cup and work opening picks round slowly, keeping them shallow so they don't catch the display cables
• Track your screws on a magnetic mat or tape them to a drawing of your iPad, so each one goes back in the right place
• Disconnect or block the battery as soon as you can reach it, before you remove anything else. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Remove the 1.8mm screw on the battery connector and slide a strip of plastic card under it so it can't touch the board
• iFixit's iPad 10 guide calls for a 2IP Torx Plus bit as well as the Phillips, so get one before you start. We don't stock this bit
• On the Air 4 the cells are glued: use isopropyl alcohol and plastic cards. On the 11-inch Air M2 and M3 and the iPad 10, pull the stretch-release tabs slowly and flat. If anything still holds, use alcohol and a plastic card, never metal
• Remove every bit of the old battery adhesive and clean the case with isopropyl alcohol. Peel the liner from the new battery's adhesive strips, press the battery into place and reconnect it, then check the iPad powers on and charges before you close it up
• Fit new adhesive, such as 2mm Tesa tape, round the frame before you press the screen back on, then hold it down evenly while the adhesive sets
• If your iPad doesn't turn on or show a picture after the repair, force restart it: press and release the volume button nearest the top button, press and release the other volume button, then press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears
