iPad 5 (9.7) Front Camera Repair Video Steps:

Step 1

• Power down your 9.7-inch Apple iPad 5 tablet.

Step 2 (iPad 5 LCD Screen and Touch Screen Digitizer/Front Panel)

• The iPad 5 touch screen digitizer is glued on solidly and is a tight fit within the rear case. Apply heat to soften the adhesive beneath the glass.

• Use the precision knife to create enough space to insert a triangle opening tool.

• With the triangle opening tool slice thru the sticky adhesive and decouple the iPad 5 digitizer. Be very careful not to cut or damage any of the display cables.

• Don't try to fully separate the touch screen yet, as several fragile ribbon cables still connect it to the iPad’s logic board. Once the adhesive has been separated, open the digitizer like a page in a book and rest it on your workspace.
• Remove all tape obscuring the LCD screws.

• Extricate the following 4 Phillips screws.

• Grab the LCD and lift it out of its recess. Be gentle and keep an eye on the LCD cable.

• Remove the following 3 Phillips screws from the display cable bracket.

• Pry the display cable bracket straight up from the logic board and remove the iPad 5 LCD.

• Remove the small piece of tape covering the home button ribbon cable connector.

• Use the flat end of a spudger to flip the tab on the home button ribbon cable ZIF connector upward. Pull the home button ribbon cable straight out of the ZIF connector.

• With a spudger in hand, carefully pop the two digitizer cable connectors straight up from their sockets.

• Remove the iPad 5 Touch Screen Digitizer.

Step 3 (iPad 5 Front-Facing Camera)

• Remove the 3 Phillips screws followed by the metal bracket.

• Use the spudger to detach the front-facing camera connector from the logic board.

• Pry the front camera housing up and lift it out of the case.

• Slide the spudger under the 1.2-megapixel iPad 5 front-facing camera to separate it from the adhesive securing it to the rear case.

* To reassemble your device, follow the steps in reverse order.
