And just to add there is no need to replace the entire mechanism, the issue is caused by the rubbish plastic washers that secure the end of the spring mechanism. You can replace these with metal ones to fix the issue and prevent it recurring.

No, iPad 2 and iPad 3, iPad 4 LCD panels are not interchangeable.

The updated iOpener version of the guide references "a small gap in the iPad's adhesive ring in the upper right corner of the iPad". This is incorrect, that applies to iPad 3/4 only.
