This is a good time to power on your iPad and test all functions before you seal the display in place. Be sure to power your iPad back down completely before you continue.

If you're installing a new front panel assembly, it may need the following preparation:

Peel the large clear plastic liner off of the inside of the glass.

Peel any blue plastic backings covering the adhesive around the perimeter of the front panel assembly.

Once removed, the adhesive strips will be exposed. Don't remove these backings until you're ready to install the front panel assembly.

Don't remove any copper coverings from the outlined region, such as yellow kapton tape or black electrical tape.

Ensure the glass panel is free of fingerprints and grime before installing it on your device.
