• 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 glass is glued to the frame and the LCD sits under it as a separate panel. Warm the edges with the iOpener or heat mat in short passes, lift the glass with a suction cup and work opening picks round slowly, keeping them shallow so they don't catch the LCD or its 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.
• Lift the battery connector straight up off its socket with a spudger. Pry the connector, never the socket
• The battery is glued. Warm the back of the iPad to soften the glue, then work plastic cards under the cells slowly. Never use metal tools on the battery
• 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 hold the top button and the Home button together until the Apple logo appears
