    Jesus man. You mean to tell me I have to do all that to fix such a simple thing? I love apple but this is beyond ridiculous. I'm not taking the risk in opening it to fix a damn button. Great video though, i'm frustrated with apple not you.

      Haha, why would Apple make it easy, when perhaps the less ambitious would simply upgrade their device? ;) Nah, I hear ya', brother. If you have a change of heart, I hope this video helps provide a bit of guidance. Thank you for the comment.

    On my iPad Air you can go to settings, general. Access ability, accessibility shortcut, assistive touch, triple click home button, touch device icon and you can turn up or down volume from there and it remains easily accessible from there and you don’t have to pull your iPad apart.

      Hot Dang! Only one year and your 7th Gen iPad's battery already puked? :(
      The basics of opening your iPad are similar, but the details are very different.
      Seek out your specific iPad's battery replacement video. I found a couple pretty good ones here on youtube.
      All the tools are super-cheap on ebay and often when you purchase the battery, for an extra buck or two, they'll throw in all the necessary tools.
      Good luck, marble!

    • @VestigialVoice
      @VestigialVoice  4 роки тому

      Hi Irene. That's similar to what happened to this iPad Air 2 as well. The button sank inward and didn't have that nice, tactile recoil after pressing. It worked for several months after that before ultimately failing.
      If you want my advise: keep using it the way it is, but purchase the inexpensive repair tools, because the day is coming when it will no longer function -- and at that time, you'll be prepared :) Have a great week!
