I’m attempting to do a display replacement and battery replacement on an iPad Air, and have just gotten to the step where I need to use an iOpener to remove the logic board and battery. I don’t have an iOpener. I was only able to get this far into the repair without one because the display was already falling off from poor adhesive the last time a repair was performed on the device. Instead of an iOpener, could I use a hairdryer or something?
Yes, you could use a hairdryer. I sometimes use my mom’s neck heat thing and that works perfectly after putting it in the microwave for 3 minutes. What I would not recommend doing is putting it in front of a space heater as this could damage the device. Hope this helps!
