DON'T DO IT!

As I have previously posted about, the glass on my ipad 2 had shattered. I looked into getting it fixed somewhere when I had the brilliant idea that I could do it myself.  I went to amazon.com and bought everything that I needed to replace the glass. It arrived today.  Before I go on let me tell you that I have always been a pretty good do-it-yourself kind of person. I am an engineering student and actually was looking forward to the challenge. I even watch a couple of youtube videos on doing the glass replacement yourself, but let me make this very clear DON'T EVER DO THIS! No matter how much money you are going to save doing this yourself it is not worth it!  After spend a lot of time scrapping glass shards that are glued to the base and finally getting the new one in, the volume button doesn't work anymore.  Let me just say that the glass replacement is in and it looks okay and for the most part everything works fine, I can deal with the volume thing. But it was a headache and there is so so many things that can go wrong just go pay someone to do it, it will be worth every penny!
