Smart Keyboard: Not recognizing my keyboard. Will recognize another.

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 07:44:08 -0700

Any ideas as to why my smart keyboard isn’t being recognized all the time? I borrowed a friends and it works just fine. Not the iPad pro 10.5 issue. Possibly a problem with the magnets in the keyboard? It works sporadicly. Don’t want to replace if I don’t have to spend the money. Any advice would be great.

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: Why does my iPad digitizer not wok?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 12:38:24 -0700

When I first applied it the corner did not work but after that the entire left portion of the screen was not working, I may not go for a refund because the process isn't worth the effort but I will definitely leave a bad rating!

why did this happen?

iPad Pro 12.9" 4th Gen: iPad Pro won't take a charge but otherwise fully functional

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 07:32:05 -0700

My IPad Pro took a static shock I believe and now it won’t take a charge through the USB-C. The iPad worked perfectly in every other way until it ran out of juice. I took it to a local repair place which sent it in to somewhere. They checked something and said since it wasn’t that, they couldn’t fix it. I’m sure I should be able to replace whatever that part is and it should be back to fully functional.

Anyone else ever run into this inability to charge? Is the USB-C replaceable? How would I spot what might have gotten fried? Is there perhaps a better place I can send it to get repaired? Looking for some advice on how to proceed.

I’ve already bought a replacement so I’m willing to explore taking it apart and having a go if there are replacement parts out there for what might be ailing it.

iPad Mini 3 Wi-Fi: touch not working after digitizer replacement

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 09:34:14 -0700

My wife's iPad Mini 3 (A1599) was dropped a few years ago and had a cracked screen. My brother-in-law attempted a replacement but touch never worked. My wife would really like to get some files off the device that are not in cloud storage but I haven't been able to get past the lock screen without touch.

I purchased a new digitizer, installed it and touch still doesn't work. Looking at where it plugs in, I noticed a pin is missing (see picture). Is that likely the issue and is that board replaceable?

The goal is to get some files from the device, not have a working device afterwards. Thanks for any help and advice.

iPad Pro 11": Do you think this repairable?

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 12:26:05 -0700

I didnt use enough heat to get the ambient sensor off and it separated.
I am getting the message that says Face ID cant activate, so I'm not sure if that's because of my installation is not right, or if its indeed because of the ambient sensor?

Can this even be repaired?
Attached is what the separation looks like from the sensor.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Password digits 3,6,9,cancel not functioning

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 00:56:44 -0700

I replaced the digitizer about 18 months ago. It has been flaky ever since. I reopened it to see if I could fix this problem. Now the symptom is the digits 3,6,9,and cancel will not respond when opening password. This symptom is not now flakey but solidly not functioning. I thoroughly cleaned the connectors per your instructions. My question is, is it the digitizer or the processor. Any ideas?

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi: No picture on screen after replacement

Sun, 27 Jun 2021 17:39:26 -0700

Hey guys, I’ve replaced my cracked screen with new screen replacement unit, plugged it in before sealing ipad back together and turned on, the screen was showing everything fine but touch wasn’t working (possibly didn’t plug the cable correctly). Since I wasn’t able to turn it off as touch was not responding I unscrewed the battery and lifted the motherboard a bit to cut the power, that was the only way to turn it on I could think of at the time.

I unplugged the screen cables and plugged them back in this time correctly and attempted another test. This time the screen had no picture anymore but the touch is still working since this time i was able to blindly navigate myself and turn it off.

My question is have I blown the screen now by unplugging the battery when ipad was on? Or maybe is there something I can do to get it back? Also for future reference how do i turn off the ipad when touch is not working?
