    • Lift the logic board EMI shield, starting at the edge nearest the top of the iPad.

    • Slowly peel the EMI shield up from the logic board.

    • This takes a bit of force due to the many tiny clips securing the shield, and the shield may deform slightly. That's okay—try to keep the deformation to a minimum, and it will lay flat when reinstalled and screwed down.

    • Remove the logic board EMI shield.

    • Use a Phillips driver to remove the 1.7 mm-long screw securing the battery connector.

    What size is this screw?

    i get 1.65mm with my calipers but the 1.3s read 1.25 on my calipers too, so probably a 1.7mm

    • If the EMI shield has any sharp protrusions after removal, you should flatten them before reinstalling the shield.

    • Squeeze the sharp protrusion with a pair of pliers to flatten it.

    • Repeat the process for all sharp protrusions along the edges of the EMI shield.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
