iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: iPad got stepped on and now it's bent, faceID not working properly

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 03:58:34 -0700

So my iPad (iPad Pro M1 11-inch) got stepped on and now the frame is bent. Everything is working except for the faceID which says camera covered in the lock screen even when nothing is covering it. When hard resetting the iPad I’m able to set up a faceID once but after that it says faceID is not available. I’ve tried talking to an Apple Advisor and they ran a diagnostic test on my end but didn’t see anything wrong with it. There are also two bright spots when the background is a dark color like black where the bend was. Is there any way I can fix this with everything intact?

iPad Pro 12.9": iPad Pro continues to power cycle after battery replacement.

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 16:51:56 -0700

My Gen 1 iPad Pro was power cycling at 3-10 second intervals when on a stock charger and cable. It would not power on at all when not connected.
I replaced the battery with one direct from IFixIT. The iPad now will power on for a period of 1-5 minutes. I have also noticed the battery will not charge past 49% and the indicated percentage drops rapidly when not on a charger. Ex. 49% directly to 29% then 13% within minutes.
Open to trying anything. Would love to get this repaired for my Grandmother.

iPad Pro 10.5": How can I resolve an apparent poor iPad charge connection?

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 04:29:28 -0700

What is the best method of cleaning the charging port on my 2017 iPad Pro? The charging notifier audio and indicator goes on and off if the connector is jiggled, and often the iPad isn’t charged after a night plugged in. It does the same with different cords, so it must be the port.

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 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 Pro 9.7": Home button loose bracket

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 13:09:57 -0700

So I replaced an iPad pro9.7 screen and got as far as the home bracket replacement when swapping the home button back on the screen. I have tried to adhere the bracket in the same fashion it was in (the repair guide shows a different cabling than mine also). But I’ve noticed that after getting it in place the home button sinks and then will slide out from under the bracket causing it to not be usable.

So What I’m trying to figure out is how to get this home button and bracket back on in a way that will keep it in place. I’ve tried some double sided tape on the top and bottom of the button itself and then super-gluing the bracket, but it still slides after a couple of button presses.

I also noticed that in the guide the button cable is much slimmer than the cable I have. My cable doesn’t allow room for the cable and the bracket, the bracket only fits underneath the fold in the home button cable. I’m not sure if that makes any difference or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are some pictures of the home button and bracket. If you notice the bracket is as long as the space available so it has to slide under the ribbon cable to fit properly.

I also noticed the small black dot is no longer fixed to the back of the home button. Does anyone know of a good “replacement”? It still clicks when I use my fingernail, but I think the lack of the black dot might be part of my problem.

iPad Pro 10.5": My iPad pro 2017 10.5 bent

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 13:07:50 -0700

Update

Sorry it took me so long to post, these are the pictures of how it is now, I’ve already tried to bend it back but I’m to scare of making it worse

Hi, I have an iPad pro 10.5 2017 that I recently bought, the problem is that I dropped it from my bed and now it is bent on the top right corner, the display has a thin “hairline” inside the screen that is barely visible but that’s another problem.

The side of the screen with the bent does not stick anymore to the frame(you can see the backlight from the side), is there anything that I can do about that without buying the back case for the ipad?.

iPad Pro 10.5": Apple Logo, Red Screen Flash, black screen

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 00:44:12 -0700

I have an iPad Pro from a customer who stated that the iPad would not power up. All original, never opened. Customer stated that she put the iPad on charge one night, and the next morning, the screen was black. She did not have access to iTunes. She also said that the iPad was NOT dropped and not wet. I took the iPad, connected to iTunes, which recognized device in restore mode. Attempted to restore. Toward end of process, Apple Logo comes on the screen for 8-10 seconds, follow by a quick full-red screen flash, then to black screen, with iTunes error 4013. IPad is out of warranty. I’m pretty experienced with replacing screens, batteries, cables, ports, etc., but troubleshooting what seems to be a software issue has be scratching my head. Has anyone experienced this?
