Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Best Buy customer Ron and thank you for asking this question as an answer "might" help others. Battery replacement in many electronics is an expensive undertaking these days--particularly if you have a third party do it "and" if that battery is integrated and requires the disassembly of an electronics item. However, if one were to attempt to engage in such a process on one's own, permanent damage to the item "may" result and/or the manufacturer's warranty may be rendered null and void. I have personally replaced my "integrated" batteries in an ASUS laptop computer as well as a Garmin GPS device. Both of these items were a few years old so I figured that even if my attempts to enhance their functionality failed, these much appreciated electronics products would soon need to be replaced any way. To achieve battery replacement in the above items (I am aware that you inquired about replacing the battery in your Apple I Pad!), I went on YouTube.com and I entered the search term: "how to replace battery in....(followed by brand and precise model of the electronics product)." These "how to" YouTube videos "can" be extremely brief in length so I will place the cursor directly over the pause icon shown on the video as I attentively watch the YouTube.com videos and I will take detailed notes as the video proceeds. Admittedly, there are so many times where I will have to back track on the video. For your issue of replacing your Apple I Pad battery, I went on YouTube.com and I entered the search term: How to replace battery in an Apple I Pad. There were several entries or options available for your or anyone's review. My advice is to view "more" than just one of the videos and, in addition, to select the YouTube.com video (if you choose to engage in this undertaking) which applies to your particular generation of Apple I Pad. I've never owned an Apple I Pad nor have I ever attempted to replace a battery in one; however, if you need to "pry" the plastic base and top apart, please use a "plastic" pry tool that is appropriate for this application and not, say, a "metal" tool like a screw driver as this "may" scar or damage the plastic housing--if that is what is needed. Please see the photo image below showing this type of pry tool. Also, "if" there are screws used by the manufacturer to secure the base of this device to the top portion, please take a piece of paper (i.e., "prior" to the beginning of the disassembly process!) and make a not-true-to-scale rendering of the screw layout and tape each screw to the paper as you proceed so that you know where it was originally located as if the process is anything like taking apart a laptop, I have found that the screws can be of different sizes (i.e., lengths). Your question found its way into an Insignia TV product and question review section Ron; however, I am glad that it did as, perhaps, there are a lot of other people out there who are thinking about discarding a still functioning Apple I Pad and it would possibly remain so--if only it had a workable battery. Thanks Ron!
