How Our Technicians Complete Your Repair
Controlled Thermal Perimeter Release
The iPad Air 4 is placed on an anti-static thermal hot plate at 70C to soften the factory acrylic adhesive along the ultra-slim aluminum bezel border.
Display Extraction & Battery Isolation
Technician lifts the display assembly using suction tools, removes the internal metal shield plate, and immediately disconnects battery power to prevent logic board shorts.
Micro-Soldering Sensor Transfer
The ambient light sensor and microphone flex cable are carefully transferred under a microscope to ensure full True Tone and brightness functionality.
Corner Milling & Clamped Rebonding
Any bent aluminum corners are machined flat with corner tools; the new Liquid Retina panel is bonded with factory structural adhesive and cured under weighted clamps.
