We were gifted an iPad2 with smashed screen and damaged case - and these guides are quite accurate.

I read through most of the guides and comments here beforehand and since we had no initial $$ invested,

and this thing appeared to hold a charge and be otherwise functional, we purchased the front panel/digitizer,

the bezel, wifi/bluetooth antenna, and a new LCD.

Followed the advice of others to tape the shattered glass with packing tape … that worked kind of, would

for sure, make sure to wear eye protection as advised in the guide here because (in my case) the little shards

of glass go everywhere!

For clean-up the Jimmy (previous purchase) really came in handy to clean-up all of the residual adhesive so

would add that to the list if one didn’t already own that tool. I used laquer thinner on q-tips to clean up any

stubborn goo left over on assembly surfaces.

So, thanks to you all we have a new perfectly functional iPad2 with one less headed to e-Waste (or worse)!
