iPad 8 LTE Right Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Antenna Replacement
Introducción
Ir al paso 1Use this guide to replace the right Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antenna in your iPad 8 LTE.
Note: this guide is for the LTE version only. For the Wi-Fi version, click here.
Be very careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily bent or broken, resulting in irreversible damage. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.
Some of the instructions in this guide were taken from a previous model. There are small differences between models, but the overall procedure is very similar.
