The iPad 2 is not old
enough to be regarded as just a good tablet. However, when it was launched, it
was the best in the tablet market since at that time it had the latest
technology. However, the sites that help in the provision of information on the
technology fix for iPad gave it a rating of around 4-5 out of 10. Still, those
of you who have the iPad 2 can go for this post as I am going to explain how
you can tear the device down and remove any technical problems. This will only
take up some time. If you are not confident enough if you would be able to do
it, or put it back together as is, and it will function again, do not go for it.
1. You can only use the Phillip screws for the tear
down. Do not try any other screws.
2. The touch screen cum tablet cum phone has a secure
battery, which is said to be removable.
3. The model number can be seen on the back plate over
the motherboard as A1395. It can be compared to the model number A1219 for the
originally drawn iPad in the market at the first time when the Apple Company
launched the first version of the iPad.
4. The tear down can show you that this one has the 412
MB RAM.
5. The iPad has a good symmetry and stable design.
6. It requires a heat gun so that you can remove the
panel from the front side.
7. Apple has used a good glue material to stick it on
instead to sue any welding or clips to hold the front panel with the body.
8. The battery is now removable once you remove the
front panel. It is 3.8 volts, Li-Ion Polymer, with 25 watt-hours battery.
9. The original iPad had lesser battery time, but this
one has up to 10 hours at a max.
10. The processor in the iPad 2 is 1GHz A5. It is
a make from Toshiba NAND flash.
11. Apple has used the technology of Broadcam for touch
controlling. It is also used for the functionality of Wi-Fi-/FM tuner for radio
and the Bluetooth.
12. The gyroscope of the device is labeled as AGD8 2103.
13. The LCD is 2.4 mm in thickness, and the glass panel for
the LCD is 62 mm in thickness. The original iPad had the LCD thickness of 3.2
mm with 0.85 glass panel thickness.
So now, you know how to
tear it down so that if you need to replace the glass panel, the battery or the
LCD, you can easily do it. With the information reversed, you can put back the
iPad 2 as well, and you can get help in this matter from an expert too. However
it is better that if you want to prevent this process, then keep the iPad 2
safe in the many iPad 2 cases and covers so that this does not happen
and nothing genuine has to be replaced.
