DIY iPad 2 GSM Front Panel Adhesive Strips Replacement Guide
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 14 Steps
Time to swap out that sticky stuff holding the front panel to the back case of your iPad 2 GSM! Before you start peeling and applying tape, make sure you’ve got nice clean surfaces on both the front panel and the rear case. Grab a spudger and scrape off any stubborn leftover bits of the original adhesive. Then, give those gluing surfaces a good wipe down with a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol or Goof Off. And remember, as you go along, peel up each adhesive strip as you need it. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

– Grab that home button like a pro with your tweezers!
– Now, gently lower it and snugly place it into the round hole at the bottom of the front panel.
