from your question it's not clear what order you disconnected the components---but the battery must be disconnected first.
My understanding is that if you pull the LCD connector before disconnecting the battery, that creates a sudden drop in voltage which will correspond to a sudden increase in amperage which blows the filter. I know that you mentioned that you didn't have the iPad powered on, but in the work of removing the screen, you may have pressed the power button at some point?

Ok so, I have a Backlight Repair kit. Comes with IC, Filter and Coil. However, where the Filter would be, is blown to a point where the copper that the Filter would be soldered onto, is missing. Wouldn't be such an issue and could be delt with soldering a wire to where ever the Copper feed runs to on the circuit board. However, we don't know where it runs to and we need a schematic of the circuitry to find out. Does anyone have a link or any information that could help us with this?

I gave advice on this under the question: Screen stays black after digitizer replacement
