Introduzione
Follow this guide to replace the front camera assembly on your iPad Pro 11" 1st gen.
The front camera assembly includes front camera, Face ID camera, and infrared dot projector. This component is paired to your iPad Pro's logic board and must be replaced with it, or you'll lose Face ID capability. Follow this guide to replace the logic board in your iPad Pro.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Some photos in this guide show the screen disconnected and fully removed. This isn't necessary for the procedure, so this guide skips those steps. If you wish to remove the screen, follow this guide.
Some photos show the battery connector blocked with two card strips. While this is an optional method, it's more reliable to fully discharge the battery. Ignore this visual discrepancy as you work through the guide.
