iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement and disassembly procedure19 steps
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 1]
The lcd of the iPad Mini 3 has a two-layer structure, so you can replace parts with only glass and panels.
The most common cases where LCD panel replacement is necessary, such as a line on the screen, a bad display, or a panel being broken due to a fall.
To remove the panel, it is necessary to remove the touch panel on the surface, but please work with care carefully because it may break during disassembly.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 2]
The liquid crystal glass is only stopped by a strong double-sided tape in the main body, and there is no screw at all.
However, because double-sided tape is very powerful, it is easy to disassemble by using the tool (heat gun) in the image.
Heat gun is a thing like a powerful dryer, and the internal double-sided tape is weakened by applying heat to the place which is enclosed in a red frame by this.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 3]
It peels off the glass after applying heat, but it is necessary to be careful because it breaks when pulling forcibly and it becomes a high repair price.
If it seems to be a little hard, apply heat again and peel it off.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 4]
If it is able to peel off overall, it will be able to lift the glass.
This is the most important part of panel replacement.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 5]
When the glass is peeled off from the main body, it becomes such a state, but it cannot be removed because the connector is still connected internally.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 6]
To remove liquid crystal glass (digitizer), it is necessary to remove the liquid crystal panel in the decomposition process.
The red circle part of the image is a screw that secures the panel, so try to remove the Phillips screwdriver.
There is a gray sponge on the right side of the image, but when you peel it off, you can see the screw.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 7]
The screw above is on the upper side, but this is the lower side.
Depending on how the glass is peeled off, the screw may be hidden with tape or magnet, but I think that it is easy to understand because it is in the same part as the screw removed by STEP6.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 8]
It is a hidden screw, but please do not forget to remove it.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 9]
Instead of removing the LCD panel as soon as the previous screw is removed, it is a place where black tape is peeled off using a tool though it peels off because it is stopped even with the tape.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 10]
The tape is peeled off in this way.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 11]
The tape above is on the left side, but let's peel off the tape in the same way!
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 12]
I was able to peel off the tape.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 13]
If four screws and tape can be peeled off, it will be possible to cause a liquid crystal panel, but be careful because it will crack if you try to cause a liquid crystal panel at once because light double-sided tape is attached to the side of the liquid crystal.
Insert a tool such as a spatula and try to wake it up little by little.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 14]
If you can completely cause the liquid crystal, please knock it down to the glass side as shown in the image.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 15]
The heat shield is drawn in this way under the panel above.
There is a small screw in the red circle part, so let's remove all!
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 16]
I was able to remove the heat shield.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 17]
The battery and the connector of the liquid crystal panel are hidden in this part.
Let's remove it because the iron plate can be removed when the screw of the red circle part can be removed!
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 18]
The connector is connected to the logic board, but be sure to remove it from 1.
1 is the connector part of the battery, but you can easily remove the connector from the logic board by lifting it from the bottom to the top.
This time it will be removed from the panel, so only 1, 3 (panel connector) is fine.
[iPad Mini 3 LCD panel replacement STEP 19]
Many of the cases where there is a line on the screen or there is a display failure are improved by the panel replacement, but if the symptoms do not change even if the parts are replaced by any chance, the logic board failure is thick.
Logic board repair will be very difficult content, so we recommend that you consult a repair shop without hesitation.
