spot on mate

@not0verrated thanks lol
Somewhere an Apple engineer is watching and thinking “hmmmm, we should link the case to the logic board by serial number so people can’t do this…”
and they do this since a year or two now. but hey. every year less and less products they sell.
I hate apple more and mor every day
@@o-hogameplay185 no, Apple links the electrical components together, not the physical case or frame
@@datdang9113 give them a few more years, they'll find a way I bet, or just find a way to permanantly attach them to the case so it's impossible to remove at all.
I like my apple products, but they are so anti repair it's quite disgusting.
They pot the whole damn thing together.
OMG, 1 year waiting to finish this repair.. if was in my hands i certainly surrender for that.

@@danielm.595 it works.
I now have enormous respect for the repairer who recently fixed my own iPad. What a hero!
You've got way more patience than I do. That thing would have made more than one trip across the room. My hat's off to you.
I swear. 😆 🤣 That project would of been scrapped within the first 3hrs
that is why he's in that business and not you.
Facts
@@lordjaashin 😂😂😂
Same, it would have way more than one trip across the room and the project would be scrapped within the first 2hrs
Apple engineers: Glue everything?
Tim Cook: EVERYTHING!
Yep, apple as super budget devices, can't afford screws.
Steve Jobs will never do that
@@pashko90
Yes they design their own screws and mix it with other screws 😂 inside,
So that people will likely brick it when trying to repair it.
@@insertusernamehere69 considering Steve jobs decided to glue the iPod touch together and made it literally impossible to repair, he did
@@axethepenguin oh
This is the reason people like Louis Rossmann and the framework company are so important, this is completely ridiculous, I'm 100% sure this could be built better, hell you improved it by not glueing as many parts in
sadly better seems to conflict with their goal of forcing people to either get a new one or have them repair/replace it themselves, both of which theyre gonna charge you a stupid amount for
@@xenstence yes.
as the "ipad specialist" at my store i would highly recommend using acetone except on fragile parts (lcd, motherboard,etc). Battery adhesive becomes jelly in 30 seconds and makes life so much easier. i think the magnets would have popped out much easier with this method as well.
They would’ve
but acetone destroys any electronics and plastic
@@Unknown-sf6cs 🤷🏽♂️ i guess having over 1000+ repairs this year using acetone with a less than 2% return rate is a testament to my skillful use of it.
@@Unknown-sf6cs if nothing else, it would've helped with the magnets
What country do you repair in? I do a lot of iPads also, in the UK. We won't even offer LCDs on these or Air 2s currently as the part quality is too bad.
I really didn’t get why people are so hyped about the “Right to Repair “ thing
Now i SURELY do
i have a feeling the engineers would have liked to fill the whole thing with epoxy… but some lawyer pointed out that that would make it too obvious
@@gorgonbert It's not the engineers, it's the marketing and finance people that decide the reparability of apple devices.
@@randomeverythingboy Yes it won't have direct impact, but as louis rossman says it's not just right to repair that's going to fix all the problems it's the consumers who will make a change. If parts are available more easily then more people would be intrested in fixing their devices or getting them fixed as repair costs and time will be lower. Once that happens people when buying a new product will consider reparability too which will slowly force companies to make their products more repairable. It's a chain of events and right to repair is first step towards it.
fact is the technology involved is very delicate there and the device needs to be secured from curious customers who would damage it and then just trash it (thus dealing even more pollution) or complain the product is crap because it didn't whitstand the blows of their jackhammer. Apple's policy has always been dedicated to protecting their product knowing the average consumer can't be trusted, so if anything doesn't work it's due to their engineers and they can control the evolution in a more efficient way.
I tried to change a battery from one ipad once, following a thorough tutorial and was very careful yet... the wifi didn't work anymore. I'm sure I didn't touch anything wrong and yet the device was suddenly trash.
@@3Clod sure, not all end users are as expert as hugh, but rpair shops are. And if I buy something its my right to do what I want to do to it. I'm not fucking renting it from a company who tells me not to repair it, save some money and maybe save a machine from being e waste.
Apple harp on about their environmental credentials but make it impossible for expert third party repair, they literally refuse to provide componants so repair shops can't fix problems even though they know how to do so. Its so shady.
"You're going to need an excessive amount of alcohol to complete this."
That's life in general, Hugh.
poor liver

“A true man doesn’t need to rely on bottles of booze for support”
It’s so hypocritical of Apple that they remove the chargers to “save the environment” yet they’re doing this.
Well everyone know
How environmental friendly move was the removal of charges 😂
save the environment is just talking point to hoodwink apples purple dyed hair and Starbucks chugging fan base. the funny thing is that mentally ill fan base falls for this bait. hook, line and sinker.
they beleive everything that apple says they are unable to think for themselves
@@lordjaashin so true. Not to mention "aesthetic" everything. They believe everything Apple does and don't make their own decision because Apple is seen as a "status symbol" 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.
Free bonus, not only will your unrepairable sleek metal slate end up in a landfill but it will be full of toxic glue as well!
Heat and patience is your friend when dealing with glued items. A good thorough heating on a hotplate at 60-70 degrees C - and it is much softer.
Wear hand protection though, so you're not tempted to rush as the entire thing gets uncomfortable hot to touch.

"You're going to need an excessive amount of alcohol to complete this.... the iPad need some too..."
I can feel the pain in these sentences.
I was looking for this comment 😂
Who knows how many projects are sitting because of unavailability of parts, let's help this man find all the necessary parts he needs, then we'll get to watch more new videos.
I have a compact mac that needs a new logic board, does that count?
Not really. With a good contact in China this problem in the video could have been avoided and solved in a few days using DHL to ship it.
I'm surprised he still hasn't done this, me and Many other suppliers do this, but he probably doesn't have the time and just prefers looking at websites and then complaining about getting low quality parts so the sponsors look better.
@@wowtell He does independent repair, you own a repair shop and thus need much more part shipped in then him. That doesn't mean "he could ship just one for 2x the money and get a slightly less dodgy part that already works"
@@totallynotbluu not true at all. When I started I could buy 1-2 things if I wanted. Whatever I wanted in whatever quality I wanted. And shipping depended on how quick I want it and it's not to expensive.
So complaining about China having bad parts comes down to not putting the effort out there to actually look for someone reputable and can get you things that aren't even on the open market. But to find someone takes a lot of trial and error.
These types of repairs get me excited. I’ve done a lot of frame swaps for iPhones, haven’t done one yet for an iPad. I’ve done a bunch of screens though.
I repair many iPhones complete housing swaps but iPads, god I hate iPads everything is glued which is why I don’t offer iPad services anymore 💀
It is so cool the way you explain what you are doing, I am blind but I love to hear the way you fix things I listen to all of your videos that you have uploaded so far. I enjoy it
I’m imagining the person who donated this watching as you’re absolutely roasting them
Same lol
I was about to write the same thing. "The viewer gave me for free...", proceeds to sh*t talk the person. hahhahhahaaha
Roasting Apple so much that they're burnt to a crisp 😂
He didn't roast them. The donor purchased it for $50, the insults were directed at whoever messed it up in the first place (except the dropping it onto concrete bit).
It’s criminal that Apple designs their devices like this. Well done Hugh for seeing it to the end
They kinda have to, so they can pack as much features as they can in such a thin body.
@@justinmarqueef3426 why do you need a thin body on the device?
@Khalin Rao an ipad that bends when you sneeze on it is still heavy as heck
@Khalin Rao never have an issues with portablility since i bought my first cell phone in 2003. I did own some time ago highscreen boost 2se, one of the most enjoable phones what i have. Allways keep it with a big battery( it was been 2 back covers and two battaries with a device, small one and a big one).
Аctually, if they want to make devices lighter and more durable, you can replace allimiun to plastic. Its better material for a portable device.
I got thru my hands thousands cell phones, i was been buying a broken one, fix them and sell them. So, i know "a bit" about them.
@@pashko90 I don’t know, I guess it’s so it stands out. Makes it unique.
This ipad repair tooks more than a year!! this is totally insane and only huge do it keep it up! Love your channel ❤️
I need this done to my old iPad Pro, but sure won’t try to do it myself. This is for a true professional. Very impressive work!
This really does scream "We don't want anyone to restore this, just trash it and buy a new one"
Yep, apple is trow away products.
Mine: you guys break?
(I have the same iPad as the one in the video lol)
@@Versuffe feel bad for you.
Apple products are the same as those bad Chinese parts. Manufactured ewaste.
ironically apples majority of fan base are people who keep shouting about climate change and pollution.
"You're gonna need an excessive amount of alcohol in order to complete this"
All right then [swigs a bottle of gin]
It’s funny, because that’s exactly what Hugh was implying, as he says the iPad is going to need some as well right after.
Seing this shit, i would advise vodka
“A true man doesn’t need to rely on bottles of booze for support”
Swing that bottle for a tornado 🤣
Wooosh.
Extra-ordinant...? that's not a word Hugh but accurately describes this nightmare of a restoration.
I actually have this version of iPad Pro - now I know there's no way I'm getting it repaired by anyone if anything happens - if this is what it takes Id rather kill it off kindly.
This is an absolute text-book case for right to repair.
Your patience and skill is incredible.
So impressive Jeff. Despite the project put on hold for moths due parts availability you still managed to return things back well piece by piece. Bravo ...
"You're going to need an excessive amount of alcohol in order to complete this. The iPad will need some too, as it will help break down that glue" lmfao
I always look forward to these please never stop posting
Same
well if youtube shuts down or he dies
@@Ordlnary_Gamer or taking a break
This is so satisfying to watch. It's a good thing to know that even a badly beaten up ipad still has hope of repair.
Very well done and quite inspiring in your attention to detail and endurance.
This repair was cool and insane. Keep it up, hugh!
"You'll need an excessive amount of alcohol in order to complete this. The iPad will need some too.." LOL
The iPad will be the most drunk thing of the two 🤣
The complexity Hugh on this one quite astounding, so many levels of screws and glues too. wow
all sundays, i look forward to watch Hugh jeffreys restoration. oddly satisfying
This repair was insane, amazing work Hugh!
Hugh roasts in the most casual tone ever lmao
This dude has some serious patience. Awesome job dude 🤩🤩
Nice job. Making edited videos is much more work than people think!!
A friendly tip😁 I'm also in the business in repairing phones. I suggest heating stuff like that which are sticked with adhesive. As heating with soften the adhesive 😁. You can use your heating platform. Hoping you'll consider this next time
You have an iPhone in your profile, I can't trust you
@@arkvsi8142 why?
That doesn’t do shit on the Smart Connector or the magnets.
@@arkvsi8142 The man literally repairs phones for a living. Plus when it comes to smartphones almost all the manufacturers use adhesive for everything, for the sake of "waterproofing."
I still cannot understand why people would give up features such as storage expansion or replaceable batteries just so they can use their phone for 15 minutes while 9 feet underwater.
My trick with stubborn adhesive is using a (power adjustable with a few settings) hairdryer (blowdryer) to warm up the adhesive and surroundings carefully, This usually makes disassembly a little bit smoother as this softens the bond. This also works wonders for removing stickers :)
you are a legend for even attempting this. the amount of glue in this thing is just ridiculous since its not even water proof in any way i dont think. this is a good reason for right to repair.
I had a galaxy note II that needed a replacement part that I couldn’t find for over a year. Now that I found it it’s still been sitting my desk for the last five years. I admire your persistence
maaaan how come this channel didnt hit 1M subs already. really underrated
Have you ever tried using zippo light fluid to loosen the adhesive on these products. The lighter fluid evaporates and doesn’t damage any of the components. I have been using it for years to remove the adhesive for stickers and such. It might be worth a try. Almost forgot, love your content.
Try lacquer thinner, thats well better than zippo
Don't do this....
A lot of zippo fluid has additives meant to be combusted and helps with "wicking" which isn't advised on circuit boards.
I'd stick to high % isopropyl alcohol instead....
@@1337GameDev , one uses zippo lighter fluid because it evaporates and leaves no residue on surfaces used for adhesive.
@@johnchristopherrobert1839 One uses acetone if one doesn't mind the risk of already using fuels that can damage plastic.
Nasty stuff to work with, I wouldn't recommend it.
This took real dedication. Congrats man!
Excellent job. 10 out of 10 for this tiring effort.
Well done, I can’t believe how difficult disassembly is.
Usually the disassembly is easier than the assembly.

Great work Hugh!💪😊👌 Very talented.
Awesome 👌🏼 I admire your hard work that you put in every project. 👌🏼
You got my like at “You’re going to need an excessive amount of alcohol to do this. You’ll need some for the adhesive on the iPad too.”

Time stamp?

Your videos are always interesting and great to watch.
Nice work Hugh Jeffrey, really enjoyed watching your wonderful video 🥰
What a transformation! They really don't want you to repair this thing!
Apple: We're going green
Apple: Let's make our products impossible to repair so they have to buy a new one.
Nokia: If it never breaks, no one has to throw it out.
They didn't specify which shade of green were going to
I mean, they're going green, dollars green
Thanks for posting tour videos! You have just made my day (again). :D
Thanks for a very informative video, well done you should be very satisfied with the effort you put into that repair 👏👏
Oh mate. I always repair these and is always is a nightmare. I’ve broken some home buttons.☹️
I did try(and successfully repair) iphones. It feels like trying to wash a toilet paper. I just don't want to fix this junk any more. Right now we repair everyting, but NOT apple junk. Let it go to the waste, where it belongs.
@@pashko90 the rest of them isn‘t getting any better though. On Samsung you have the INSANELY strong „elephant glue“ for the batteries, with no pull tabs. And for some reason the I/O-daughterboard is usually glued in place (on top of being screwed in). Sony‘s phones break so easily when you repair them. Huawei is really piece of junk, especially their laptops. They‘re the chinese Apple indeed. OnePlus gotta swap everything over, LG - don‘t get me started on this one… The whole industry is like that. We now have phones that are designed to not be repaired at all.
Apple: Don't fix it
Nokia: Why would you need to?
@@spamspace6878 He was able to finish the repair because i fix it did have the missing part after a year of him searching, otherwise he was going to have to use the old case.
There is nothing pro about a device that is so difficult to repair. Well done.
It's Profitable
I really enjoy your videos. Your standards are just amazing and stand by similar ones when trying to repair my stuff. Every store I know will not take their time to use adhesive for displays, will miss you screws, and are overall mediocre.
Hello Hugh. Nice job as always and a pleasure to watch. As I said before.. use heat to soften the adhesive. You could heat the case from behind to release the board, battery and other components since you where going to replace the case. Use heat. please !!!
That's exactly the title that Apple wanted to hear
Yo, for that SMART connector trouble:
Once you've got the bracket and glue off, and pried up the cabling, You can use a conveniently shaped piece of plastic and a small hammer to pop the circular bits inward. A plastic spudger cut/ground down to shape works nicely. Still gotta be really careful, tho.
Wow. Thanks for the video! Great stuff. I know I’ll never try that. . .
Love your dedication 💪
Great job. iPads are extremely hard to work on.
Wow, you are keen. In stripping the old case I was waiting for the battery to catch fire, especially after you folded up one corner 5:18
I wonder if the glue under the login board is to improve thermal conduction to the case.
Also, I wonder if all that glue under the speaker is to.. A/ avoid rattles & buzzes, & B/ stiffening for better sound.
It is called a Logic board not login
Wow your very brave lol. But you did a very professional job. I have actually done a full restoration on a iPad Pro 12.9 1st gen and encountered the exact same problems, and spent far too much of my time and money on the project. Keep up these great videos. 🙏👍
Great dedication to get this done. If this was one of the hardest what ipad Is one of the easiest to fix.
At this point I don't really understand why they bother with any screws...
Please don't give them any more ideas
Imagine the patience of fixing this one.
You're a legend. Period.
that was sooooooooo awesome and satisfiying. good job 👍🏻

Marvelous work. Congratulations..😄.. Your videos are great and are a great source of knowledge. Thank you.
Thanks Hugh, don’t believe I’ll be trying that any time soon. Was very interesting seeing what is inside an iPad.
I like ur pfp it's adorable
The ipad does not wake up when you lift the cover if the hall sensor is damaged or disconnected. The covers are compatible between the two ipads
The glue on the speaker assembly probably helps to make better contact with the case which is used as part of the speaker. Not fleeing the speaker assembly down should result in worse sound quality, it would be interesting to hear a direct comparison.
You are an absolute legend, I would have given up immediately
your patience is admirable 😎
Putting the iPad on a heat mat helps soften the adhesive when removing parts, especially the battery. Makes it a lot easier.
Even a hair dryer makes a diff
"I used some extra adhesive to make sure the display isn't going anywhere."
Guess who thought of that too
Apple .. 😂
Well the screen almost falls off, on an iPad in a brand new condition, compared to those magnets and the Smart Connector.
I mean, that adhesive is the only thing keeping that display attached, and I wouldn't want it just falling off one day.
@@iClone101 they should probably attach the display just as strong to the frame like battery to make it a bitch to get into :/
I don't do device repairs - but your videos are satisfying to watch :)
This man's level of patience is insane! I dreaded working on Apple products!
This is why I stay up past midnight in the UK.
OMG you've done an amazing job! it looks perfect
much better than what i did 😂
lol
This is some hefty dedication right here
So glad for this video; I had an iPad Pro 9.7 last year where I dropped juice on the iPad and thus broke the touch part. I now feel good that I have sold the iPad for parts for $100 , instead of trying a repair. I couldn't, I see now.
So thanks for the reassurance
What a nightmare Hugh! I think that Apple's penchant for making their devices almost impossible for third party repairers to fix is borderline criminal, "You can buy our expensive device but we control how you get it fixed"....How do they get away with it?
Damn at this point I would’ve kept everything inside the old casing and try to hammer it flat and nice
The transplant with this one is too much to handle.
Suprisingly I have similar iPAd pro in pretty similar condition. Thank you, man, now I know how to fix it!
So glad I'm out of the portable device repair business these days. It started getting really annoying around iPhone 8.. This is just a new level.
It's amazing how this can be repaired so easily, but Apple would send the entire thing away. And with how small recycling rates actually are, it's better seeing repaired.
You call that easily?
You call that easy? Are you an alien?
casually uses 4 more iPads as “something with medium weight” 😂
You make it sound so effortless with iPad pro restoration. I am watching a vlog to the end of the video.
I have a 1st gen iPad Pro, I live on it. I take good care of it, and I'll continue to do so. Seeing what a chore it is to replace the battery, I'm glad it's holding out.
He'd better not enjoy watching it alongside me - I didn't invite him over to watch this with me. 🙃
Anyway geez Apple, I don't think you used enough glue. Better throw in a few more bottles worth in the next iPad.
There's a special place in hell for the Apple engineers that signed off on the stupid & difficult to repair design of this iPad.
