iPad front camera replacement steps
First, prepare various replacement tools. Also note that before replacing the front camera, the iPad must be safely turned off.
- To turn on the iPad, you must heat the edge of the touch screen. Your SIM card is made of plastic and must be removed to avoid damage. To do this, use the SIM card eject tool to put it into the hole and press to remove the tray. Now completely remove the SIM card tray from the iPad.
- Be very cautious when opening the iPad. Open the iPad gently to avoid damage to the front panel. In the following steps, you must use a hair dryer to remove the sticker that fixes the screen to the rear panel of the iPad. Do not place it too close to the screen, otherwise it will be damaged. The home button on the edge of the iPad (not the screen) is made of plastic, so don’t heat it too much.
- Once the lower right corner is hot enough, insert a metal spudger between the screen and the rear panel. Using this tool, gently pry up the front panel, and then place a pick between the screen and the rear panel. If the front panel is resistant, do not use force. A little more heating area.The WiFi antenna of the iPad is located between the button and the lower right corner of the screen. Be careful not to insert the pick too far to avoid damaging it.
- Now heat the right side of the iPad screen. Don't forget to heat it properly, the hotter it is, the easier it is to remove. While heating this part, gently slide the metal spudger to the top. Don't hesitate to insert picks along the way so that the screen does not stick to the back panel.
- Continue to slide the metal spudger along the iPad. When you are close to the volume and vibration buttons, make sure not to go too far with a spudger to avoid damaging the button cables. If you feel you have to apply a little more force, please heat up the edges of the iPad.
- Repeat the same steps on the top of the iPad. On the iPad, the GSM and GPS antennas are located here. We recommend that you only use a spudger instead of a spudger to remove this part. If you feel you need to use force, please don't hesitate to heat the screen.
- Continue to gently remove the touch screen on the left side of the iPad. About 2 to 3 cm away from the lower left corner is the touch screen interconnection cable. As it is very fragile and thin, we recommend that you use a plastic pick to remove this part.
- Starting from the left side of the dock interface, gently start to remove the lower left side of the iPad. For this, please do not hesitate to heat the touch screen. Be careful with the home button.
- Put a pick in the lower left corner so that it will not stick together. The touch screen should now be completely removed. If the touch screen is still stuck to the rear panel in a different position, use a pick to gently remove the remaining adhesive.
- Now you can lift the front panel of the iPad from right to left. The touch screen interconnect cable is very fragile, so do not use force.

- You can now remove the LCD from the iPad. To avoid leaving any fingerprints, do not directly touch the black part of the LCD screen.
