Einleitung
This guide is currently being revised with an updated procedure.
Follow this guide to remove and replace the display assembly on the iPad Pro 9.7".
The home button assembly is paired to the iPad's logic board. In order to maintain Touch ID functionality, you must transfer your original home button to the new display assembly. This guide includes these steps.
Note: Certain images in this guide show the use of a battery blocker as part of the procedure. The procedure has been updated to skip this step, in order to avoid potential damage to t he logic board.
Do not use metal prying tools, or you risk shorting and damaging the iPad.

-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
-
-
-
Handling it by the tabs on either end, place a heated iOpener over the top edge of the iPad.
-
Let the iOpener sit on the iPad for two minutes to soften the adhesive securing the front panel to the rest of the iPad.
-
-
-
As you follow the directions, take special care to avoid prying in the following areas:
-
Home Button
-
Front Facing Camera
-
Main Camera
-
-
-
Elevate the iPad enough for the Anti-Clamp's arms to rest above and below the screen.
-
Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.
-
Position the suction cups near the top edge of the iPad—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next two steps.
-
-
-
Place a suction cup over the iPad's front-facing camera and press down to create a seal.
-
-
-
Firmly pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the front panel and the rear case.
-
Once you've opened a sufficient gap, insert an opening pick into the gap to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Slide the pick along the edge of the display, towards the headphone jack.
-
If there is still a considerable amount of resistance when sliding the opening pick, repeat the iOpener heating procedure and apply additional heat.
-
-
-
Slide the second pick along the top edge of the iPad, towards the Sleep/Wake Button.
-
-
-
Bring the right opening pick down and around the top right corner of the iPad.
-
-
-
Reheat the iOpener and lay it over the right edge of the display to loosen the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
-
Slide the left-hand opening pick down the edge of the display until you reach the corner.
-
-
-
Slide the left-hand opening pick along the bottom edge of the display, then remove it from the bottom right corner of the iPad.
-
-
-
Use picks to ensure most of the adhesive has been cut through on the top, left, and bottom sides.
-
Twist the top and bottom picks to separate the display assembly from the rear case.
-
-
-
Swing the display assembly towards the right of the case, using the right edge as a hinge.
-
As you move the display assembly, make sure that the display ribbon cable is not being stressed.
-
Continue swinging the display assembly until it lays flat next to the rear case.
-
-
-
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three 1.3 mm Phillips screws securing the display cable bracket.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of the spudger to disconnect the display assembly connector from the motherboard socket.
-
-
-
Use tweezers to remove the tape covering the ZIF connector above the home button.
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to lift the flap on the ZIF connector that secures the cable.
-
-
-
Use an iOpener, heat gun, or hair dryer to soften the adhesive under the cable before you pry it up.
-
Alternatively, apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cable and wait for a minute to let the adhesive soften.
-
-
-
Starting from the ZIF connector, use an opening pick to separate the home button cable from the adhesive holding it in place. Stop when you reach the home button.
-
-
-
Apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the base of the home button bracket.
-
Alternatively, you can use a heated iOpener to loosen the adhesive.
-
-
-
Insert the edge of an opening tool under the home button bracket lip.
-
Pry up with steady force to loosen the bracket.
-
-
-
Remove the home button bracket.
-
Scrape off as much of the old adhesive residue as you can, then clean it with acetone or high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol.
-
Secure the bracket with E6000 glue, superglue, or high-strength double-sided tape. Make sure the bracket is aligned correctly before allowing your adhesive to cure, or the home button will not click when pressed.
-
-
-
Gently push the home button from the front of the display inward using the tip of a finger.
-
Compare your new replacement part to the original part. You may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order. Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

How would you re-attach that EMI shield after it has been peeled off?
Hi Garrett,
Try to straighten it as much as possible and remove any jagged edges around the edges. The screws will hold the shield in place.
I have a broken glass cover on the LCD screen on my iPad pro 9.7, is it possible to just replace the glass?
It is possible, although extremely difficult. You will need to remove the lcd/digitizer without doing any damage to the lcd. Then you need to separate the lcd from the cracked digitizer, clean the lcd, and then glue the lcd to the new digitizer. The fact that your asking this leads me to believe that you don’t have the many expensive machines and supplies to complete this correctly. I would just replace the lcd, as there is a fair chance you will damage it doing this removal anyways - depending on your skill level.
Hope this helps!
Doing a screen replacement, I followed the instructions but, it won’t come back on no picture and I don’t think its the back light because i shined a light on it and I can’t see anything. It will charge but no picture, tried the original broken screen and two others. Any Ideas?
