Title	iPad 7 LCD Replacement
Introduction	Follow this guide to remove or replace the liquid crystal display (LCD) in an iPad 7 for both Wi-Fi only and cellular models. Unlike newer iPads and most phones, the glass digitizer and LCD on the iPad 7 are not fused together. Be very careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily damaged, resulting in irreversible damage. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components. Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
