Removing screen intact from iPad Air 2 with swollen battery By Leon Stacey

Hello there Sunday afternoon and I've got a iPad issue here. This is the iPad Air, 2 I think if it's not an iPad attitude than it's an iPad Pro of the same or very similar screen size, though, as you can see, the screen is armed. The iPad is on Schiller site, and it's going a bit bonkers wasn't expecting that anyway, there is something a bit bonkers here. If I show you that there, what am bent screen that has another reason being is because the battery either one or both of its cells are swollen. So it causes that now that does make me ask: do Apple, have problems sourcing, their own reliable screens, that screens didn't I batteries, not screens, because batteries shouldn't do that they did swell up quite a lot back in the day of the iPhone 3G 3GS I, think that was something to do with the way the Dutchman's were made, which caused them to swell, and I thought that have been fixed, but obviously not because we've got the iPad Air 2 here, which is maybe a couple of years old at the most with the very same kind of problem. Now, that it is such a younger device.

The cost a lot of things these do so is that it's not really on I, don't think it is, so I've got to sort that out really I mean yeah. Okay, there are external things that can cause batteries to swell up, such as the peat and one or two other things as well again, external to the device, but I don't think it's going to have been anything like that. As far as I know, this card has been used, but there is used in school and one from school, so yeah, okay, it's going to experience things and little more difficult than your average iPad soap is used in school depending on how young the kids are. It may have had a bit of a rough life, but at the same time, the screens absolutely fine actually well done Apple for making a screen that can bend and keep working thanks to the battery swell enough inside it. So yeah sort of mixed thing really of well done: ? I fall for them, making a screen that can bent and still work at the same time come on Apple.

What's with the batteries, this isn't really hard because the thing it could explode. It could just keep swelling and be okay, it could burst. Who knows know what I'm trying to do is just warm the edges up. Where were the adhesive? That is so that the adhesive will just give away, because there's a lot there's going to be a lot of pressure up to acting on this screen, trying to push it up, so I'm. Just thinking.

If I can warm the adhesive to an okay amount that it just lets, go that's going to relieve the pressure on the screen and the screen. I'll be okay, it's kind of going to relieve pressure on the battery as well, because there won't be anything then he's trying to stop, and also it will allow me to replace the battery because that's what it needs. There's a bit of an issue with batteries and the'll say the Apple device industry it can. It does go on as far as it does reach as far as laptops as well. The Apple and PC based laptops, mostly Apple I, think I've seen them swell in the old white man.

Books have a place to cook for those from them stuff in the mouse pad from working properly at the place wanting one of my own MacBook Pros. Well, so it's a replaced and again other Apple computers, yep. Okay, a couple of Windows-based laptops as well at the end of the day, the the batteries they, it is just hard work, whether it's apple or something different, but there we go I'm. Sorry I can't show more of this, but what I'm doing as you can see here, it's letting go. So let me show you the gap there now, so it's going to be relieving pressure on this side.

I'm going to go this way next, just so there, it relieves a lot more pressure, hopefully as quickly as possible. Now I've got to be careful on a certain part of the iPad for the Flex cables for the LCD and touch, but that is at this part of the iPad and I wish I had a camera view that could show the side of the iPad as I have it now, so you can see it open up. I've just heard the adhesive, the decent kind of letting go just in about this area. So that's up now I'm going to be coming along from coming from this corner from this comment along this way, going to be very careful with the screen anyway trying to get this screening because they are delicate screens, it's a perfectly good working screen. I don't want to crack it.

So the issue with this and the battery Falls and now was kind of helping the plight of removing the boat removing the screen, because it's already giving me a good stare about to create a gap, don't have to push my high SEMI into sort of no gap after a lot of heat to get the adhesive to soften and separate, and all that kind of thing just hopefully going to be nice, easy screwed, renewable and battery replacement, really I'm ready, going to go as far as getting the screen back to a replacement. It's a bit boring, so I'm, not gonna! Put you through that I've got enough comments. Not again. No sorry, let me put that right. I'll get enough negative comments on my movies.

Already I, don't want any more! That's good, going very well! This heat I'm using is say at an eight five, eight D hot air station. Absolute rubbish, no offense to it, no offense they make if they're an action will make, are people that, like outs and no offense at all, but it only cost thirty-five pounds, whereas my quick 8061 the cost nearly ten times as much and is absolutely brilliant at what it does what he uses on its accurate and yeah the temperature. It says on screen here: the temperature just about the asked for, whereas the Ten ok says a hundred degrees C on the dial right on the display right now, I've actually measured this thing actually at a different time, and it's actually given out between fifty and sixty so roughly half. So that's not very good accuracy, but then again, who cares? It's only easy stuff that I use this for softening the dates of them screams dry. You know isopropyl boards and repairs, and things like that, so it has an easy life.

Oh, and I also do clean, clean, BGA, stencils, and things like that clean the grout. The stroke along on the stencils was this that, with this thing as well, I, don't ask too much of it, because I know it can't deliver too much, but for this is doing a very sterling job Texas time there is that, but with this kind of screens how delicately and what I use it for in general, you have to take your time. You cannot expect to rip a screen off like this, and it is okay. It will end up damaged because, thanks to our Delia, there I'd rather not take time I'd rather get this band down, but um this type of repair. You can't be other repairs.

You can scream easy, direct enough easy enough to buck like repairs, connect to a place means no problem, even graphics, repairs and stuff, like that Oh liquid damage repairs. Thankfully some of them are okay for getting things working again or getting data off as I said, screen, replacements I have enough yeah, but things like this delicate stuff, where big, expensive screens are involved. You've got to take it easy cause. If you don't, something will go wrong, and you don't want that, because that Forex now it's costing money, this action is being that's how dark wood it's taking its time. My brother, it didn't I need to put in quite goats in that, but there's nothing I can do about.

I have to be careful. We've got us out of the way now. So it's not too bad I should have a stream there shouldn't I Sunday afternoon, I'm, not gonna, get phone calls or people walking in I've got the shutters down. So now we should have streamed this. It's not going to be one big movie, we're talking, because I've got something to put on Instagram about a movie I put on Facebook.

Yesterday, Facebook no YouTube a little more than halfway. It's my gun go ahead. You can see me there. No ha! No, as I said, I think this is the iPad Air 2 I hope is. Is that because the smaller size archive frozen fair enough I'm just going along the lines if it is an iPad Air, 2, and I'm? Just thinking of the way the screen needs to come off across the screen with the flexes on each screen.

They are in the same location and each I find in the bottom right, as you look at said, but the screen opens up like a book normally, but in a different way. Different direction. There's going to be a lot less stress on this screen now. I hope what a thought so because there are massive gaps everywhere, so the screens lift it up and there won't be as much pressure there. Just can't be is enough pressure.

Now from the battery as I say, the welder knuckle for making a screen that can be bent under extreme duress from a battery underneath it pushing it off. That's a good thing. We just start the batteries out. It's one of the problems not been able to get hold of genuine pants, especially batteries. What I thought was not don't like people repair is third-party repair things like not being able to get hold of genuine I've hairy, beast' I'm, not sure why a couple of notifications on my phone, but it wasn't that, since the dates come back rather than about an inch and a half from the corner at that point, I'm still not done.

I've got the bottom about half of the bottom of the screen. Still to get up well, I'll come off, hopefully nice, safe and where I've got my removable tool here, I could have pushed it in, so I think I'm going to have to push it as far as the bottom corner, with how soft the adhesive probably is by now, but I'd rather take a little more time and do that when it feels like the adhesive is going to give lets doing stuff like this, you get a feel for whether it's going to be okay or not, and after you've, cracked, a couple other screens you get to know when you're at the limit you need, you can feel when the limit is, and that isn't good, because you crack a screen that you don't want to. You got a replacement now with things like this: the iPad Air 2 screens. They are getting cheaper, but they have been actually normally expensive. So what reason who knows but yeah you don't want to be damaging expensive screens, because that's just a cost from you make no money.

Actually you lose money are making their money. You lose. If I hope you can see the movement of my tall. There that is just taking my time only going like an inch and a half at the most and then using heat again right. That's got a pretty good feel that house now most of it he's up, but the adhesive, but he decent sort of separates in between the screen and the frame.

I don't want that. I want the adhesive on either of them, not both right. So here's our Chi, dad ? I can see that with the way that the screen flexing to go in now, I'm glad about that, because I've got an iPad Air 2 battery in stock brand spanking, oh yeah, hello must be happy which needed to slice through a little more adhesive. There we go. That's it Oh damage freak I really have to.

Is that all right? That's all a couple tools. Now the way right. You can see how much up open how open it is needy submit. The button is still stripping a little, and I'd. Rather it didn't I won't control it, not the adhesive itself.

There we go that's off I'm not is still taking a little come on. Come on. You son of a gun, yeah, that's why because it once because the adhesive is moving around yeah. The adhesive moving around isn't is a nuisance. I want to either on the frame or the last ball.

I want it on the frame. Oh the screen, not between anyway right, so we've got the screen up. Look at that both of them swollen. They should be perfectly flat, even from this camera view, how's that this camera view it's a camera itself. It's a webcam! That's all it is it's not the best quality in the world.

It's certainly nowhere near HD 1080p whatever, but it can still see about what a mess so yeah replacing the battery, and it should be good, so I'm going to stop it. There I actually know what I'll do I'll switch on just to show you the screen working on right. There we go must be strictly above board at the moment. It's visually looking. Okay touch screen, may not work, but let's see so, there are no cracks, no lines on screen.

No flicker and the LCD are absolutely fine. There you go I've got a better image touch ooh. Yes, working happening right, so that's that screen has survived swollen battery from underneath it there's been happy with me, taking it off I'm, just replacing the battery now, and I'm done so. Yeah, is Apple struggling to find and batteries itself.
