1. Preparing for Hard Disk Removal



Before initiating the hard disk removal, ensure you have the necessary tools and a static-free workspace. It's crucial to back up any important data, as this process will erase all existing information on the device.

2. Removing the Hard Disk Using Heat Application

To safely detach the hard disk, apply heat at 400°C with an airflow setting of 50. This technique helps in loosening the adhesive securing the hard disk, facilitating its removal. For a visual guide, you can refer to the iPad Mini 4 Teardown and Reassemble Guide.

3. Cleaning the iPad's Internal Components



After removing the hard disk, carefully clean the internal components of the iPad to remove any residual adhesive or debris. This step ensures that the device remains in optimal condition and prevents potential issues during reassembly.

4. Cleaning the Hard Disk

Gently clean the hard disk using appropriate tools to remove any dust or particles. Ensure that the connectors are free from debris to maintain a proper connection upon reinstallation.

5. Reconfiguring the Hard Disk with IP Box

Utilize an IP Box to format and reconfigure the hard disk. This device allows you to manage the hard disk's settings and prepare it for reintegration into the iPad.

6. Reassembling the iPad

Once the hard disk is prepared, carefully reassemble the iPad by reversing the disassembly steps. Ensure that all components are securely connected and that there are no loose parts.

7. Flashing the Device

After reassembly, proceed to flash the iPad with the appropriate firmware. This step reinstalls the operating system and ensures that the device functions correctly with the newly formatted hard disk.
