iPad Pro 13" (M5): Moisture Detected Message When Trying To Charge.

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:02:23 -0700

Bought brand new 2 months ago and it has never been near any water or any environment that will expose it to any moisture.,The charger and connection area look like new, no damage, carefully handled since new. It won't charger anymore and displays a message "Moisture Detected". The system is updated to the newest available. Purchased in Thailand at Apple Mobile Store, Apple Philippines refuse to look at it and say we must go back to where we bought it in Thailand 2 months ago. My guess is the sensor on the charger board or main board has triggered this message but we cannot get spare parts for it as it is so new. Great product & service huh.

iPad Wi-Fi: No Speaker Sound - Headphones Work Fine

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:27:53 -0700

Hi All,

The sound on my iPad all of a sudden stopped working. The sound works fine with headphones in and I can change the volume, but when I unplug the headphones I get absolutely no sound from the speaker, and I can't even change the volume.

I originally thought this must have been a software issue so I went through all the settings, checked mute etc.

After that, I tried a reset using the power and home button, and I even restored to factory settings.

I then changed the speaker with a new one, still no luck.

I have now changed the headphone jack as I thought this may have been interfering, but there is still no sound.

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Michael

iPad 7 Wi-Fi: TG0B Kernel Panic

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:16:23 -0700

Got the same issue

I replaced the battery but still getting the TG0B error. The battery level is fluctuating as well. I checked the capacitor C8923 and I got diode resistanc f .883 not sure if this is too high. FL8900 is good as well. What Iam not sure is the Q8900 which for BATT_SWI_FL.

The C8922 which is for BATT_NTC is ok as well it go straight to PMU chip. I tried to jump a wire from the battery terminal directly to batt_ntc n C8922 in case the connection going to the battery is loose but still getting TG0B ... This issue is a pain.

iPad 7 Wi-Fi: Missing TG0B causes kernel panic, plus fluctuating battery level

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:11:02 -0700

The problem began 2-3 weeks ago while the device was charging.

Reboots are not spaced evenly at 180s apart, which probably indicates the sensor is responsive at times and not at others? At the beginning of the issue, I could sometimes use it for 5-10 minutes without rebooting, and sometimes less. Charge level fluctuates around 10-20% on each reboot and just randomly when unlocked. The reboots got more frequent and regular over time. Last night it seemed the iPad was charging very slow.

I took it for repair today,

They replaced the battery and the issue persists.

I've read TG0B is an NTC thermistor in the battery.... what could be the next steps? Any possible issues in the measurement circuitry?

iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Does anybody know if the logic board from an IPad 9 will fit in my 8?

I have an iPad 8 that is iCloud locked to my old account that they randomly deleted, and it is extremely cracked, and it’s o only 32gb and stuck on iOS 26 so you can’t do anything on it and I was wondering if the iPad 9 logic board fits in the 8th gen housing because I think they’re really the same size.

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Ipad Pro not charging or recognized

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:44:37 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with my iPad Pro 3rd gen, model A2377. It suddenly stopped charging. I've already replaced both the battery and the charging port, but the issue persists.

It seems to charge very slowly when in DFU mode, but it's not recognized by my computer. I'm really stuck and could use some help.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on what I should try next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Charging detected but very slow + distorted speakers + one-sided audio

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:38:16 -0700

I recently worked on an iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation and replaced several parts:

Chassis (housing)
Display
All 4 speakers
USB-C charging port

After reassembly, I’m now facing multiple issues:

Charging is detected but extremely slow (battery percentage barely increases)
All speakers are heavily distorted (on all corners)
USB-C audio only works on one side (only one earbud)

The USB-C port is brand new and properly installed.

I double-checked all connections and flex cables, nothing seems out of place.

Has anyone already encountered this kind of issue after a repair like this?

What could be causing it?

I was thinking about something related to power management (PMIC / charging IC or maybe a damaged power line), but I’d like to hear if others have seen similar symptoms.

Hello!

I got an iPad 9th gen WiFi battery replacement kit. I tried using iopener multiple times as instructed. I even used a blow dryer directed the heat towards the display in a blanket. The display didnt budge at all!

Is it possible to use the adhesive remover that came with the kit and put it along the display? Is there anything i should know about this? like would it ruin the device or the display if i am still unable to open the display?
