Separate the top edge adhesive
  • The top edge of the iPad contains the front camera module and two ambient light sensors. These components are easily damaged if an opening pick is inserted too far.

  • The two ambient light sensors can be hard to see and can be located using a flashlight or by placing the iPad under a bright light.

  • Insert a new opening pick in the top right corner and slide along the top edge to separate the adhesive. Make sure to note the following:

  • Don't insert an opening pick more than 5 mm or you'll damage the display edges.

  • Don't insert an opening pick more than 3 mm or you'll damage the ambient light sensors.

  • Don't insert an opening pick more than 2 mm or you'll damage the front camera module.

  • Leave the pick in the top left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
