so now I'm going to show you a the quickest way to fix an iPad the original version now there's a few videos online that are super long kind of shorten it down for you the main thing is if you're going to replace the digitizer on the digitizer is just a glass part there's no LCD underneath there's that one ribbon cable right up there the top that fixes it but that connects as it connects it all around the outside of this frame there are little Clips right here you can kind of see the little plastic parts that kind of poke into the metal thing to keep it on all intact I will show you those as I replace it around the version I have does not have the plastic frame or the home button so I'll be showing you how to replace those as well so as far as getting the screen D attached from the frame you can kind of see that there's a metal part here then there's a rubber part and then there's the actual screen itself and we need to pry you're going to want to pry between the metal and the rubber and not the rubber and the screen I just took a screwdriver and then used a guitar pick to kind of separate I'm put a little bit of a gap right in there then the screwdriver fits right in you need to have something you know that is substantial you hopefully if you have one there's a little bit thinner than this but it needs to be able to not bend or give it all when you pry it upwards and the wider the head like the the more width it has the better so you can kind of see where I'm at right now you can still see our little plastic Clips all around the edge of the frame there's a another clip right here around the outside it looks like this one actually broke off well didn't it definitely um so basically I would just kind of lift it up spread it open a little bit with the pic put these little guys in there and then use the actual screwdriver as my main prying tool if you did buy the digitizer with the frame around it you won't need to worry about the old frame so I'm going to go ahead and just continue opening it up just prying it up little by little all the way around the outside I'm not going to lift it completely off yet though because there's some ribbon cables underneath that I need to detach now we have the iPad lift it up a little bit away from the screen itself and we're going to take apart the digitizer cable and right here is where the digitizer cable comes in to the mainboard and there's this little lip right here at the very end you have to lift this end of the cable up I've already done it right here so you can kind of see that it's up in the upright position and then once both of those are up you can just kind of pull the ribbon cable out and it looks like that this other one right here is already come apart so this is for the speaker up top and this is more of a clip-on so it's kind of like a Lego piece this snaps on to this right there so the pretty solid they're not that hard to take off and they're pretty durable so they're not going to break very easily either just make sure you don't put a whole lot of pressure on the upper part of this cable so now we have the iPad pulled away from the back casing and we're going to release the led the LCD from the frame so what I've done is I've taken out these screws right here that little Torx screw little like the star head screws and there's one two three four five six seven seven of them around the outsides and now I'm just taking my little pry tool and I'm going between the le LCD and the frame and just kind of lifting it up right here all the way around and you can see that it's going to get loose you can't heat it up if you want I'm just I'm just going really slow and just lifting it up without the heat makes a little bit simpler so here we have the old digitizer and frame I mean you can see the glass I tried to pick it out away from the frame right here at the bottom it was almost impossible even heating it up but the gun is still wouldn't do it so what I had is just the old replacement glass but it was seriously would have taken me a couple hours to separate the glass from the frame there so we ended up just spending the same amount of money and getting a digitizer and attached to the frame already this one has the home button already installed all I really need to do is transfer the camera from this digitizer to this one right here and I'll save a whole lot of time so buy the frame with the digitizer it'll be a much happier person okay so the digitizer in the frame has a piece of plastic that's covering up the top of it so we're going to take that off and then take the LCD that we have gotten all the dust off of and then fairly quickly just put it right down on top of it so with the camera there's a heavy-duty tab at the bottom he's got to pull up there's some sticky stuff around the lens and the LED but all you have to do is just take it make sure that little hole was cleaned out there's no dust or anything down in there and then just place the camera back in that slot so we got all the screws backing around the outside you've got the front camera ribbon cable attached the other cables the digitizer cable still taped to the front of the screen so now everything is ready to go all of my pins all my brackets are set and ready to rock all you do now is connect the three cables and then press the screen down into place and let it clip in around the outside there we go all you really need to do is just line up the right side first it kind of slips down inside these little grooves then you just gently press it around this other side and then it evens up perfectly with everything else anyway if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments it just video help you don't forget to Like and now don't freak for
