Thanks for the excellent video. Its a difficult job but I just finished replacing the digitizer and the battery. So far so good. I did make a mistake though. I did not put the new glue on digitizer prior to installing the digitizer so that was a pain to put on without removing again. And I had trouble removing the battery as I did not realize at first that you have to lift up battery a bit to remove it. I rewatched your video and saw the slight lifting motion from your hand.
Be really careful with the ribbon connectors. Not realizing how fragile they were, and being frustrated at not finding the "lever" he mentioned during the 10-11 minute portion of the video (never did find a lever and broke the connector in two places). What a bummer after all the time I spent getting the cover opened. It wouldn't make sense to have somebody repair it - would spend more than the cost of a decent used iPad. The video was great but would have been even better if he had used a magnifying glass to show what he was doing in disconnecting the ribbon connector.
Everything worked fine on mine once back together. As mentioned in the video, I had tried this once before and damaged the touch screen ribbon connector, so I tried to show where to be careful to avoid doing what I did the first time.....
Oh ok yea I stripped a bit of the Wi-Fi cable stuck to the adhesive while opening kind of like you on the video and was just wondering to see if that reduce any signal or anything
Thanks
Great video man, thanks!! Tomorrow is my turn with my nephew iPad. You video helps a lot
Your video was perfect, step by step, and very well done.

great video wish you'd put some links in the comments for where you got your battery from and the adhesive for the screen
Just added the link to the description to the kit I used in the video, but there are several different kits on Amazon if you prefer.

Sorry about the bad grammar. I was tired.
Did you rip the wifi antenna?
