-	[* black] ~~We finish fighting~~ through ~~all that adhesive,~~ ~~and we~~'~~re ready~~ to ~~peel off the digitizer—hopefully without an attached display~~.
-	[* black] ~~What do you know!~~ ~~The digitizer isn't fused to~~ the display ~~and lifts away on its own~~.
-	[* icon_note] We'~~re always happy~~ to ~~see a separate~~ display ~~and digitizer setup~~ like ~~this! A non~~-laminated ~~display means screen repairs will be less expensive, since you can replace each component separately~~.
+	[* black] Slicing through this much glue isn't our idea of fun... however... there's no second part to this sentence.
+	[* black] Fortunately, much like [guide\|105416\|last time\|stepid=198935], the glass separates cleanly, leaving the display behind—a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
+	[* icon_note] That means replacing the iPad 7's cracked glass may be laborious, but at least the materials will still be cheap—you won't have to replace the entire display, like you do on [guide\|121759\|all] [guide\|121589\|those\|new_window=true] [guide\|115457\|other] [guide\|92534\|iPad] [guide\|52599\|models] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_optically_clear_adhesive\|LOCA\|new_window=true]-laminated panels.
	[* black] After all that adhesive, we're happy to see the friendly face of a Phillips screw—especially after dealing with all those [guide\|126223\|tiny tri-points\|stepid=243651\|new_window=true] [guide\|126000\|last week\|new_window=true].
-	[* black] ~~We lift the display away~~, ~~and before we do anything else, the~~ [product\|IF145-304-2\|~~battery blocker~~\|new_window=true] ~~goes in,~~ ~~to ... well ... block the connection to~~ the battery.
+	[* black] This time around, our [product\|IF145-304-2\|Battery Blocker\|new_window=true] only fits into the battery terminal after trimming it down with some scissors, but it's worth the effort to kill the power for a safe LCD extraction.
