iPad 3 Wi-Fi Adhesive Strips Replacement

Introduzione

Use this guide to replace the adhesive on your iPad 3 Wi-Fi to seal the deal on a repair job well done.

Before you begin peeling and sticking tape, it's important to have clean adhesion surfaces on both the front panel and the rear case. Use a spudger to scrape off any large excess bits of original adhesive, then clean all of the gluing surfaces with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol or Goof Off.

It is recommended that you peel each adhesive strip as needed, rather than lay them out all at once.

my adhesive looks nothing like the adhesive strips in the photos. Mine has a white backing instead of clear and is not shaped as pictured above. My model A1416 iPad3 Wifi does not have a home button ribbon of any kind nor do the stickers accommodate for one. This needs updated images and descriptions.
