Not asking for help......

This thread isn?t asking for help, rather it is offering advice.....
When doing a DIY battery replacement on a iPad, don?t use an industrial heat gun to soften the adhesive holding the screen on. Get a low wattage electronics heat pen, or your results may turn out like my attempt.....
Now I have a new battery in it, but the screen is all foocked up. Typical for me.....

now who outside a few, and those not searching the web, know what show that was from.

We used to call them "Hi Bob" parties.

We were playing one time and Suzanne Pleshette walked in and rattled off about 10 “Bobs” staccato.
We all looked at each other and said to hell with it and changed the channel.
Nobody wanted to hurt that bad the next day.

Memories.....

You could also watch Unforgiven and do shots every time the words "kill, killed, or killing" is used. Guaranteed shitface will ensue.

Maybe you should have asked for DIY help first.

Nope, watched all the you tube videos and the video from the battery supplier. Read the step by step instructions that came with it. It was too much heat, my gun cleaning felt mat that I vacuumed before attempting to change the battery, started smoking then turned black around the edges of the iPad was my first clue of too much heat was being applied. Then the adhesive being too easy to get the wedges in between the screen and body and of course the almost too hot to touch was the third clue. And when I reassembled the screen & turned it on, was the final clue that I fried the LCD.

Have you seen the movie Interstellar ?
Your screen image is you from from another dimension telling yourself not to use the heat gun. Lol

If you run a barcode reader on that screen display it'll probably ring up an approximate total of what that will cost to fix :) It's easy to make mistakes. I accidentally slightly jacked up a LGA-1200 socket last week (intel computer motherboard) by putting the required protective cover on in the wrong order *facepalm". That's one thing AMD does better.. processor sockets.
