How To: Replace the Front Panel Assembly on an iPad (3rd Gen)

If your watching this its probably because something similar is happening to you with your iPad. You came to the right place, because today we are going to walk you through the iPad 3 front panel assembly repair.

I just made this repair on my wife's iPad 3. Thank you iFixit for providing a means for us to repair our stuff! And you're so right Gwendolyn, iPad repairs are no joke, but if you take your time you can get through it successfully.

May sound a bit silly but I search this video because I try to find a way to clean the fungi that grows inside my iPad's front panel. I've had a "trained" (but may not be "certified") technician to replace the battery on my iPad. It's either he failed to put back the panel perfectly that humid condition around me makes it possible to grow fungi OR the panel might be exposed with open air during the replacement process, long enough to make the bacteria gathered and then "trapped" inside the panel. Now the small dots really annoys me :(
