• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Power the tablet off and take out the SIM / microSD card tray before you open it.
• The screen is glued to the front of the frame with strong adhesive. Warm the edges gently with the iOpener in short bursts, as too much heat can damage the battery, then lift a corner with the suction cup or iSclack and work picks and cards around the edge, no more than 2 to 3mm in, or you can cut the flex cables under the edges.
• Lift the screen like opening a book, away from the side its flex cable is on, and never pull on the flex while it is still connected.
• A small metal bracket held by one Phillips #000 screw covers the screen connector. Note which way round it sits so it goes back the same way, and track your screws so they go back in the right place, or use a screw mat
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Unplug the display flex from the board with the spudger. When you connect the new one, press the connector down evenly at both ends, never in the middle, so the pins don't bend.
• Test the display and touch before you seal the screen in, and leave the protective film and stickers on until the new screen is working properly.
• Clean the old adhesive off the frame with isopropyl alcohol, fit a strip of 2mm Tesa tape all the way round the frame (no adhesive comes in the box), then press the screen down evenly so it sits flat.
