hi Eric I fix it to a guru here to talk
about the new iPad and it's difficult to
service battery a consumable that will
require replacement in the near future
thanks to the fact it is glued together
previously the only way to get into the
new iPad or the iPad 2 was a difficult
task involving a heat gun heavy duty
suction cups and a guitar picks but we
found a great new tool here at iFixit
that accomplishes the task much more
efficiently with less effort now the
first step in any job is safety so I've
got my anti-static mat wrist strap and
because we will be working with Gorilla
Glass eye protection alright let's get
started removing the front panel is much
easier with our new opening tool the
Gorilla Glass can be a little tough so
just keep at it
now that we've loosened the front panel
flip the opening tool around and use the
prying end to carefully separate the
digitizer from the LCD just a few more
screws and we're all ready to the
battery now that we've gotten the dead
battery out we can responsibly recycle
it
I recommend dropping it off at your
local Apple Store on your upcoming visit
to purchase a new iPad
