  1. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Heat the right edge: paso 1, imagen 1 de 1
    • Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the screen for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the iPad—the screen and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

  2. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: paso 2, imagen 1 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: paso 2, imagen 2 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: paso 2, imagen 3 de 3
    Herramienta utilizada en este paso:
    Clampy - Anti-Clamp
    $24.95
    • The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle backward to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Place an object under your iPad so it rests level between the suction cups.

    • Position the suction cups near the middle of the right edge—one on the top, and one on the bottom.

    • Hold the bottom of the Anti-Clamp steady and firmly press down on the top cup to apply suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPad is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, use tape to create a grippier surface.

  3. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement: paso 3, imagen 1 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement: paso 3, imagen 2 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement: paso 3, imagen 3 de 3
    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

  4. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement: paso 4, imagen 1 de 2 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement: paso 4, imagen 2 de 2
    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • If your screen isn't getting hot enough, you can use a hair dryer to heat along the right edge of the iPad.

    • For complete instructions on how to use a hair dryer, check out this guide.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next step.

  5. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Insert an opening pick: paso 5, imagen 1 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Insert an opening pick: paso 5, imagen 2 de 3 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Insert an opening pick: paso 5, imagen 3 de 3
    • If your screen is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

    • Apply a suction handle to the screen as close to the center of the right edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with a strong, steady force to create a small gap between the frame and screen.

    • The large screen is very fragile. Only create a gap big enough to insert an opening pick.

    • If you're having trouble making a gap, reapply a heated iOpener to the right edge for two minutes.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Don't insert the pick more than 5 mm to avoid damaging the screen.

    • There are two 2 cm-long magnets along the right edge of the screen. Don't insert your opening pick more than 2 mm to avoid damaging the screen in these locations:

    • The first magnet begins about 3 cm from the top of the iPad.

    • The second magnet begins about 3 cm from the bottom of the iPad.

    • Everywhere else, don't insert your opening pick more than 5 mm.

    • Slide your opening pick along the right edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.

    • Don't insert your opening pick more than 5 mm.

    • Slide your pick to the bottom left corner to separate the bottom adhesive.

  11. iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Slice the corner adhesive: paso 11, imagen 1 de 2 iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen Logic Board Cover Replacement, Slice the corner adhesive: paso 11, imagen 2 de 2

    • There are three cutouts along the left edge of the screen where the adhesive is very thin. Don't insert your opening pick more than 2 mm to avoid damaging the screen at these cutouts:

    • The upper cutout begins 4 cm from the top of the frame and is 3 cm long.

    • The middle cutout begins 12 cm from the top of the frame and is 3 cm long.

    • While the top edge adhesive softens, note the following:

    • There are two ambient light sensors near the corners. Don't insert your pick more than 1 mm here.

    • The front-facing camera and additional sensors are in the center of the top edge. Don't insert your pick here—there is less than 1 mm of adhesive and you may damage the components.

    • For everywhere else, don't insert your pick more than 5 mm to avoid damaging the screen.

    • These photos show what the battery connector looks like underneath the logic board. Use these photos as a reference while you safely disconnect the battery.

    • Notice that the battery connector has cantilever springs on the logic board that press against the battery contact pads. Since both the logic board and battery are glued down, you'll need to slide something thin and flexible between the contact points to disconnect the battery.
