I reconnected the battery and screen connectors, closed and rescrewed the cover for the connectors and retested the iPad before removing the protective covers over the adhesive strips. Then I placed several heavy books over the iPad and left it in a room with the door […]

I tested the new battery before applying new adhesives to fix it in place.
