Same here I need to swap the old data to the new one 8 years ago	I need to get my old date off of my old broken none booting ipad and transfer it to my new Ipad so can this be done.
Marina 8 years ago	I have a ipad 2 that died. I am wondering, is there a way to recover the data on the hard drive? Or is that not possible yet? I have it disassembled, the logic board is out - where is the hd? it's a flash memory drive I thought - is it part of the logic board assembly? I couldn't tell.
BRODCHOY74 10 years ago	OK
Victor 10 years ago	My iPad 2 screen is green, I swapped lcd with one working ok on another iPad, the same problem,wil it be a logic board failure? If it is can I install an OEM logic board? Regards
Craig 11 years ago	Can I use a wifi digitizer to replace a cracked 3G screen. If so why does the ipad I have done this to not powered up.
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@Erin - yes you can.
Erin 11 years ago	Is it possible to swap an iPad2 16gb motherboard for another iPad2 16gb motherboard? Will it work the same
Jose 11 years ago	I have problem in find a logic board ipad 2 emc 2560 for my ipad 2 wifi only. if you did help me.
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@pablo - only Apple can do that. Serial numbers are tied to the logic board.
pablo 11 years ago	how to change the logic board serial number after being replaced?
Powerbook Medic 11 years ago	@valerie - you may want to try and connect it to your computer and see if it is detected. If so, it may just be an issue with the connection to the LCD.
valerie mc 11 years ago	i am needing info on why antenna was replaced now it won't come on at all did we leave something unhooked please help me
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Andrew - the back case and logic board and the antenna are the main differences. Each of our products to the right will have a 3G option if that part is different. If you are looking to convert, you may just want to sell us your iPad using the Sell It link at the top of our site and use that money towards a 3G model.
Andrew 12 years ago	Could you go into a little more detail as to the specific hardware differences between a 3G iPad2 and the wifi only model?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Marcilio - it requires a lot. It really isn't feasible.
Marcilio de Carvalho 12 years ago	Is it possible to convert an iPad 2 16GB WiFi only in a 3G model just buying apropriate 3G Daughter Board and Logic Board parts ? What parts I need to buy to make this upgrade by myself?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Neil - no
Neil 12 years ago	Can you just order the seal by itself?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Gary - no, they are identical form factors.
Gary M 12 years ago	If you replace the 16G for a larger Logic Board, are there any other parts that also need to be changed? (like the daughter board, batteries, etc?)
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Gary - yes you can.
Gary M 12 years ago	If you have an Ipad 2 16GB and you need to change the logic board, can you install a 32G or 64G board as a replacement?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@alex - check your digitizer cable and reseat it.. otherwise your digitizer may be damaged.
alex 12 years ago	The very bottom of my screen doesn't work, any suggestions?
alex 12 years ago	The very bottom of my screen doesn't work, any suggestions?
juan 12 years ago	is hard to remove the mid frame or the bazel frame?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Jeff - there is a separate dock connector cable in the part list to the right
Jeff 12 years ago	Is there a replacement charging port for the iPad 2? Or is it connected to the logic board?
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@kent - we sell screw sets in the part list to the right.
kent 12 years ago	where can i get the screws i lost some of mines
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@eddie - no, it's going to be something else not causing it to work at all. it'll turn on fine with a broken antenna. @Jerry - you should go above the trim.
eddie 12 years ago	I replaced my ipad 2 digitizer and broke the wifi antenna. when i power up the ipad it does not work, since the wifi is broken can this be the cause for it not to work? please help.
Jerry 12 years ago	Does the tool go above or below the rubber trim piece? Will I have to replace any rubber trim when I replace the head phone board?
Brian 12 years ago	One more question :), does the glass with digitizer come with the adhesive tape set for the glass digitizer panel, and the rubber trim piece or should I purchase those separate.
Powerbook Medic 12 years ago	@Brian - it does not.
Brian 12 years ago	Does the iPad 2 have a mid-frame piece, I replaced the digitizer on an iPad 1 and didnt realize I needed to replace the mid frame piece because it was stuck to the digitizer.
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@josh - depending on the damage, the logic board would need to be replaced. We sell the boards in the part list to the right. For us to repair it would be an additional $45 labor.
josh 13 years ago	my locgic board where the screen sits is damaged how do i fix, if so how much would you guys charge to fix it
JohnC 13 years ago	I replaced the Digitizer glass and now my touch screen does not work. I've tried resetting it to factory defaults but nothing. What did I do wrong???
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Steve - this video was made on the first day when no one knew what it looked like inside. We still take apart them the same way, but we are just more aware of where those cables are.
Steve 13 years ago	This video should be pulled from the web site. I have just taken the digitizer off and I cut a wire on the top and the bottom. If you follow this video you will do the same. Especially if you use the longer tool shown in the video.
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Brian - yes thats most likely the case.
Brian 13 years ago	When prying the digitizer off I cut too deep apparently and cut a wire. I can't see where because I didn't fully disassemble. But the power switch doesn't work. Is that the power button ribbon cable assembly that I will need? if I plug in the sync cable, the iPad comes on, so I know it's just the power switch.
Corp 13 years ago	Looks like the guys at apple love adhesive, I wonder... what else will they use it for?
KW 13 years ago	Powerbook Medic great job on the Video. keep up the great work.
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Rich - yes we sell it. it is called the ipad opening tool. it should be in the tools list to the right.
Rich 13 years ago	Do you sell or do you know where I can buy one of those metal pry tools the tech is using to remove the glass? I am referring to the shovel head looking tool at the begining. He starts out with two of them. Thanks Rich
Powerbook Medic 13 years ago	@Kandelabra - for sure. but typically if you need to go inside of it, you've most likely voided your warranty by dropping or knowingly damaging it. If you think it is just a defective part, check with Apple first.
Kandelabra 13 years ago	This would basically void the warranty . . . correct?
pele 13 years ago	It's vary good video!!
Powerbook Medic 14 years ago	You can only get them from complete ipad2s right now.
ted 14 years ago	Hey! Nice video, I should have watched it before I cracked my own gsm ipad 2 open. I damaged the wifi antenna like you did on mine, do you know were to find new antennas?
