iPad Pro 11" LiDAR Sensor Assembly Replacement

Einleitung

This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

The LiDAR sensor assembly is paired to the Face ID hardware. You'll need to transfer it to your replacement screen to keep Face ID functionality. The following steps show how to remove the sensor assembly and install it on your replacement screen.
The LiDAR sensor assembly is composed of four total sensors:
Two ambient light sensors
One proximity sensor
One microphone
You'll need to separate each sensor from the screen before removing the entire assembly.

Insert one arm of your angled tweezers between the ambient light sensor and the screen.
You can also use a precision knife, but be careful not to damage the ribbon cable.
Pry up to separate the sensor from the screen.
This might take significant force.
Repeat this procedure for the other ambient light sensor.

Insert one arm of your angled tweezers between the proximity sensor cable and the screen.
Slide the tweezers toward the screen while prying to separate the sensor from the screen.
This might take significant force and multiple iOpener heating cycles.

Slide an opening pick under the LiDAR sensor assembly cable to separate it from the screen.

Continue sliding your opening pick under the LiDAR sensor assembly until it's completely separated from the screen.
Remove the LiDAR sensor assembly.

During reassembly, you'll have to perform the following:
Align the LiDAR sensor assembly on your replacement screen.
Use Tesa tape, or similar double-sided tape, to secure the cables to the screen.
Use E6000 adhesive, or similar adhesive, to secure the sensors to their cutouts on the screen.
Only apply adhesive to the edges of the sensors. Placing adhesive on the front will break them.
