This process is virtually the same for the all iPads with this style of connector:
iPad 2 iPad 3 iPad 4 iPad 5 iPad 6 iPad 7 iPad 8 iPad 9
iPad Air 1, Air 2, Air 3, Air 4
iPad Pro 9.7, iPad Pro 10.5, iPad Pro 12.9 1st Gen, iPad Pro 12.9 Gen 2
It does not apply to iPad Mini, as those are FPC style connectors.
