All iPads are stable and reliable in use and can work for a very long time. Of course, you should not take into account those cases where the tablet could fall as a result of careless handling. The battery itself of such a device always runs out of time, after which its capacity gradually begins to decrease. IN in this case The iPad can be repaired: you just need to change the battery. Replacing the battery of iPad 2, Mini 2, iPad 3, 4, Air and other devices can be done independently if you have certain skills in working with such gadgets and tools.
Before you start disassembling the device in order to replace its battery, it is important to keep in mind that you will have to work very carefully to avoid damage to fragile parts - for example, inside the iPad mini, which is much smaller in size than the iPad 1. to get to the battery iPad Mini or another model,The device will have to be completely disassembled. The battery itself is located under the back cover. Before removing it, you will have to gradually remove small and very fragile screws, antennas and cables, making sure that they are not lost or damaged.
Why can the iPad battery fail prematurely?
What you need to replace the battery
Replacing the battery of a second iPad is carried out using the following tools:
- tweezers;
- SRT scapula;
- plastic spatula or mediator;
- hair dryer;
- crosshead screwdriver .
You will really need containers for the bolts so as not to lose them during operation and, of course, a new battery. The toolkit is universal. With its help, you can also successfully work not only with a second iPad: replacing the iPad 4 battery is done in the same way. Since the battery of Apple's third tablet model is also located in the rear compartment, replacing the iPad 3 battery is also carried out by analogy with the second model.
How to replace the battery on a second iPad yourself?
So, as an example, we can consider any similar device from Apple: they are all disassembled and assembled according to the same principle and, as mentioned at the beginning, require maximum care when working.
To disassemble the iPad 2 case, you first need to disconnect the front part. To do this, gradually warm it up with a hairdryer. top part screen. Try not to heat the gadget too much, but make sure that the glue that connects its lower and upper parts “melts” a little.
After the glue has warmed up, you will need to bend it back panel using a mediator, pushing it under back lids with right side screen. Carefully pry the lid off with a spatula. Now you can take the second pick and begin to gradually separate the panels from each other in the direction where the “home” button is located.
Everything needs to be done as carefully as possible and take your time so as not to damage the cables located at the edge of the back of the tablet. While supporting the bottom, gently lift the screen. Carefully lift the wire that you see and sequentially disconnect several cables that appear (usually there are three). After this, finally disconnect the screen and wiring.
Under the first cable you need to unscrew a small bolt. There is a board with all communication functions there. The socket in which the antenna is located should be freed from the GPS sensor, and then, after removing the connecting cable with a screwdriver, you can carefully remove another cable by first unscrewing the bolts. Do not forget to put all bolts in special containers. The battery is gradually replaced in the same way. iPad Air.
After you remove the board and the last, third cable, you need to alternately unscrew three bolts from above and two from below - this is how the antenna cover is removed. Next, disconnect the two cables from it, and you can finally proceed directly to replacing the battery.
Since all iPad batteries are attached to the back covers using a special adhesive, they must be removed in stages. To do this, take the plastic spatula again, slide it under the bottom edge of the battery, and use a pick to carefully pry the battery in other places until large gaps form between it and the plastic cover. When it is sufficiently detached, it can be removed from the compartment by hand.
Now insert the new battery into the compartment. Before this, you should use the same glue to fix the battery inside. After this, reassemble the tablet in the reverse order: connect all the wiring, return the antenna and board to their place, secure all the cables and tighten all the bolts. The iPad 3 battery is replaced in the same way.
If you have a simple set of tools, as well as accuracy, dexterity and desire, you can replace the battery of any Apple tablet with your own hands. They are all the same type and quite easy to assemble. The main thing is not to damage the fragile filling, carefully monitor the process, and then you will not have to contact a service center.
