Can someone show the clips please in a photo?

Surely there could be a direct LINK to buy this part?

Digi-Key part number CP-018HPJCT-ND

Instead of “Teardown the cinema like it it described in”

it should be :”Teardown the cinema like it is described in”

This is the most critical stage of removing the cable either silver or orange. It is difficult to hold the keyboard away far enough to be able to reach in and with a spludger clearly see where to pry open. iFixit of course sell these cables but if the image of the cable being prized open then fewer people would rip the cable and have to order more parts from iFixit…..we have to keep our eyes on our own ranks, in case we are tempted to again take advantage of ‘inside knowledge’. Yes, I make a good photo but here there is no place to upload to help you all. I can imagine that that cable is the source of most keyboard problems, so take it out only when very well illuminated and everything is steady so you can get the spudger into the exact place to do its job. My next repair job is a MacBook Retina 12” early 2015 - the screen blisters when left in the sunshine leaving a large black hole which expands and contracts daily. 2019 02 16

No one managed to replace the screen. Hence no reply to that question. I have the glass here to do the job but since no one has managed it so far and there is no indication how the new glass is retained in place, I will just cover the cracked missing pieces of glass with gaffer tape and show off how badly made the iPads are made.

It is not clear from the repair description nor the comments if the brown cable connected keyboard is compatible with the silver cable connected keyboard. Can someone indicate clearly please what this difference means to us wishing to replace the keyboard? Does it mean there are two distinctly different keyboards, one with a brown cable and one with a silver cable?

“A little tip, if your goal is to change the battery: do not bother, cut the battery cover to avoid any short circuit” Pierre MARZIN

Another tip, if you have ruined 5 iPods so far without getting past this stage then try simply taping the new battery to the case and connecting its ends to an old cut off broad Apple USB [power pins] (someone smart can say which ones these are)
