What's Inside an iPad 2?



    Recently at work, there was a pair of iPads that were acting up. The screen wasn't working on one and the other had a distorted screen. I got to test out our iFixit toolkit and open up one of them. This was what I found inside:





     You can see for yourself that there isn't much involved. The screen portion is in the top of the photo with the glass cover to the left and the insides to the right.


     Oddly enough, taking them apart like this and placing everything back together fixed the issues on both. I'm guessing something was just popped loose at some point.

     Taking them apart was easy enough, but if you try it be sure to go slow when prying the glass screen apart because it can crack and spider out across the screen VERY easily.
