I hope someone can help with my unusual issue. A customer has brought me their ipad 2 to repair the dock as it wasn't charging. The first time I decided to let the battery fully discharge. The charger was instantly recognised and the ipad charged to just 96%. The charger was then unrecognised and the device was also not recognised in itunes. Since then the ipad recognises the charger when fully discharged but only charges to 1%. I have entered dfu mode and tried charging in and attempted a restore in itunes. I am just going through a viscious cycle however because the dock is only recognised when fully discharged and itunes will only recognise the device when charged but it will only charge to 1% not enough to do a restore. Is this just a faulty dock connector?

Thanks in advance

Here is the story: The back plate of an iPad 2 Wifi & 3G needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, I was given a "Wifi only" back plate rather than a "Wifi & 3G" one.

Although there was a SIM Card in the slot, the owner of the iPad told me that he doesn't need or work via the SIM Card but via Wifi only.

I was wondering if it is possible to use this new back plate at all. Can I just fix the card unit with adhesive tape (there are no holes, of course, for it)?

This is my first repair of an iPad, so I would appreciate any input.

My iPad front glass was damaged but the screen was OK. I brought a front screen replacement and tried to do it myself.

The progress did not go well because all the small pieces of broken glasses. And after I finish the replacement and reconnect again. My lcd turn to black and white strips.

May I know what should I do to save the iPad.

Thanks a lot. Sorry to take your time.

I need some advice on fixing my iPad after a repair that seems to have made things worse. Here’s what happened:

1. My iPad’s digitizer FPC connector got damaged, so I took it to a repair shop.
2. The repairman "fixed" it, but after getting it back, I noticed a 3-minute boot loop issue. The iPad would restart every few minutes and wouldn’t charge properly—it showed the charging symbol but wouldn’t gain any battery.
3. I told the repair guy about the issue, and he asked me to return the next day. When I came back, my iPad was fully charged and working fine, so I took it home.
4. I used the iPad normally for over 24 hours, including charging when low and using it until low battery. Then suddenly, while at 80% battery, it turned off and restarted at 26%. After that, the boot loop started again.
5. Now, the iPad is stuck on the Apple logo and won’t boot into iOS at all.

• Boot Loop (previously 3-minute cycle, now stuck on the Apple logo

* Battery percentage jumps (e.g., 80% → 26%)

* iPad charges, but percentage doesn’t increase

* Worked fine for 24+ hours after repair, then suddenly shut down

* Now won’t boot past the Apple logo

• Loose battery connection (maybe not reconnected properly during repair)
• Battery is faulty or not calibrated properly
• Power Management IC (PMIC) issue (damaged during repair?)
• Bad soldering on the FPC connector (could be causing a short circuit)
• Corrupt iOS software (caused by power instability?)

• Force Restart (no change)
• Charging for extended periods (no real progress)
• Letting it drain completely and recharge (didn’t help)

I don’t trust the repair guy anymore, so I’m trying to diagnose the issue myself before finding a more reliable technician.

• Should I try DFU mode and restore it using iTunes/Finder?
• Could this be purely a software issue, or is it definitely hardware-related?
• If I open it up, what should I check first?

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

As per the title I have an iPad Pro that has suffered water damage. While the device still works, sounds can be heard etc, the display shows black but the backlight works. I have tried reconnecting the cables but to no avail. Is that more likely to be a board or LCD panel issue? Tips and suggestions are welcome. Thanks

I am missing charge port pads for pins 5, 12, 14, and 20 for an iPad 6th Generation WIFI. Can some help me identify any test points on board where I can jump these to the connector?

Thanks in advance!
