Install Notes For Best Results
Bench tips from our Forest Lake iPad workshop.
Disconnect The Battery First
Always isolate the battery before unplugging the LCD flex. Stops short circuits.
Lift The Digitizer Carefully
Use slow heat and a thin pick. Avoid cracking the touch glass during separation.
Mind The LCD Screws
Four small Phillips screws hold the LCD bracket. Catch and label each one.
Seat The Flex Connector Square
Press the LCD flex onto the logic board until it clicks. Confirm full seat.
Power-Test Before Adhesive
Reconnect battery, power on, run a colour and brightness test. Confirm clean image first.
Keep Factory Film On
Leave the protective film on until the digitizer is seated. Stops dust contamination.
Reuse Or Replace The Digitizer
If the digitizer is intact, reuse it. If cracked, order our BQ7 digitizer too.
No Returns Once Adhesive Set
Inspect on receipt under workshop lighting. Confirm clean panel before adhesive sets.
