I will be following this guide to fix my iPad Air’s broken screen. iPad Air Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement However, the guide is limited to replacing the assembly only. Is there any step by step guide to stick the front panel back to iPad? Want to follow the right guide.. Help :-) Also, what quality screen / glass iFixit provides? Is it as good as original (Gorilla?)
Hmm. Not sure if I have a guide handy. Make sure you do a very good job of scraping the old adhesive off, then apply the new adhesive, then firmly press the new digitizer on. It doesn’t need a crazy amount of pressure. But it does need some. To help the adhesion
If you want to make your life easier, search bowler tech adhesive online. They sell a high quality adhesvive that is precut for the iPad you are repairing, and the adhesive is make to stick on the frame. The adhesive kits cost about $6 but worth every penny, never had a iPad screen lift up, using this product, but you must remove all the old adhesive. If you brought a screen from Ifixit you shouldn’t have any issues. I use high quality screens but always use kepton tape on the edges just to keep that ghost touching away…
The quality of fixit iPad Air is excellent, they have the cooper trim bezel which the cheap ones have the silver trim bezel. The adhesive that is also pre-installed is good, I also use bowler tech which they send you sample kit if you request on there website. I use bowler tech if I buy the screen with-out adhesive installed. Just make sure you clean the old adhesive off before placing he new screen.
