i bought this ipad 64gb at a flea market fro 150,000.00VND (about 6$)

My fix:

1: removed the digitiser (foolish mistake) and broke it, good luck for me that i have spare parts

2: removed the logic board and battery

3: tested the logic board on the replacement battery, checks out ☑️

4: tried to kickstart the old one so i dont have to spend money (completely dead), so i used the replacement one instead

5: removed the R1204 fuse to delete icloud and reset the ipad into DFU mode

6: Re-Assembling the ipad 3( with the new battery, the DFU logic board and the spare ipad digitiser)

7: restored back to wifi ios version for the ipad 3

And thats it, im done.

Important TIP: i did not heat a corner of the old white digitiser so i broke it, SO PLEASE: make sure to heat EVERY CORNER, EDGE or the good digitiser end up like a broken window. And be careful about kickstarting a battery, its a cheap way to reuse a battery, BUT it will increase the Risk of FIRE 🔥
