Title
iPad Air (5th Generation) Display Replacement
Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the display on your iPad Air 5th generation.
Since the battery can't be disconnected directly after removing the display, ***completely discharge the battery*** until the iPad shuts itself off before attempting this repair. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].

Conclusion
Compare your new replacement battery to the original one—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new battery before installing it.
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]].
