Completely power down your iPad before you begin.
-
If your screen is cracked, lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's screen until the whole face is covered.

Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.

As you slice through the adhesive, note the following:
-
The top has a large patch of thick adhesive. You'll need to slice 1/2" deep in order to cut the adhesive.
-
Don't slice deeper than 2 mm along the long edges of the iPad, or you risk damaging the display panel.
-
The lower edge also has thick patches of adhesive, but there are delicate flex cables in each corner. Don't slice deeper than 1/4" around the lower corners.
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and lay it over the left edge of the iPad to soften the adhesive holding the screen in place.
-
Wait two minutes for the adhesive to soften before proceeding to the next step. The edge should be slightly too hot to the touch.
