Removing front panel on iPad 2
In your teardown of the iPad 2 you say to use a heat gun to remove the glass, front panel. In fact you say to use lots of heat. Although I am sure that is what's necessary to soften the glue, is using that much heat going to damage anything inside that should not get hot?
You also said you are looking for other ways to remove the front panel. I'm curious how Apple technicians open it when servicing this device. Of course this is another secret they will never share.
I would like to know what peoples thoughts are on this.
Questa è una buona domanda?

As a glass man or "glazier" by trade, I would offer one bit of advice, which I hope helps your anger while attempting this repair. (Stupid wifi antenna is usually collateral damage, and the glass goes everywhere.) Anyways, when I cut glass, depending on the temperature of the glass it is either very easy or very difficult to break. When it is freezing, its nearly impossible. in mid-summer when temps are around 85-90* F in my shop, the glass flies apart very easily while I am cutting/sanding/moving it. Most materials behave similarly (adhesive, circuitry etc,) Also, pretty much the only way glass breaks is from the edge, corners especially. So keep temperature in mind as you go (try to only get the adhesive hot> maybe try very quickly cooling the surface of the glass after heating the edges so it doesn't fly apart so easily as you work it off. Good luck! Screens are cheap right now, so its a good time to give it a try.
