iPad Pro 12.9": Touch Filter Replacement help

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:44:36 -0700

Hey Guys, I have recently done the screen replacement on the iPad Pro 12.9 1st gen and afterwards have lost all touch. I can’t seem to find any schematics or anything online. But was wondering if anyone could help me with what filter I can use to replace the existing one.

Any help would be appreciated

iPad Pro 12.9" 4th Gen: Found iCloud locked device is there anyway to bypass iCloud lock?

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 03:01:10 -0700

I recently found a iPad pro 12.9” iPad 4th generation with magic keyboard. I have made attempts to find out who owns the dam thing. It seems to be activation locked. Its less then 30 days old apparently. It would be a shame to have to throw away a perfectly good iPad. Is there ANY way to bypass iCloud activation lock screen? I saw on YouTube someone was talking about replacing the so called logic board to get past iCloud activation lock. they also mentioned that somehow the serial number was infused into the iPad somehow. can someone please shed some light on this topic?

Ya so I ended up finding another one just like mine for sale that was dropped very hard and the screen smashed.

I am wondering if they all have the same logic board motherboard A21 something inside of them. what would need to be swapped to make it a clean imei again. the new broken one has iCloud unlocked for sure.

Mine is a cellular version and the other one is not. are they different?

iPad Pro 10.5": after replacing battery, iPad keeps rebooting every 2-3 minutes

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 17:11:59 -0700

I recently replaced the battery on my iPad Pro 10.5 with an aftermarket battery from amazon. The iPad would turn on and function fine but then shut off after a few minutes and reboot. I read these forums and considered the new battery was bad so I bought another one. The same rebooting issue keeps happening. The battery percentage is a bit erratic jumping +/-5-10% randomly and without the corresponding use or charging that would normally account for a battery's percentage to fluctuate. I've been trying to factory reset the iPad but the iPad won't stay on long enough to complete the process. The iPad is cleared and erased but I can't seem to set it up because the iPad reboots to quickly. I feel like I'm so close to getting my trusty old iPad to work again and yet so far. its very frustrating!! any help or suggestion is appreciated. thanks.

iPad Pro 10.5": Top half of iPad touch screen unresponsive when charging

Wed, 15 May 2024 13:58:17 -0700

Sometimes when I’m charging my device, the top half of my iPad becomes unresponsive while the bottom half (the side near the charging port) works just fine. However, when I unplug the cord, the top half starts working again.

So far, I have tried to fix it by updating, reinstalling iOS from iTunes, and using a different, cord and brick, both of which I got from the Apple Store. None of this has worked. Any ideas on what’s wrong and how to fix it? Thanks

Notes:

I use either a 29w Apple brick with the USB C to Lightning cord or a 12w brick with a USB to Lightning (All of which are Apple or MFi certified)
I have tried restarting the iPad while charging which works for a bit but starts doing it after 5 minutes of charging or so
The problem stops when I am done charging.

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Diagonal Jitter when using Apple Pencil after screen replacement

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:54:51 -0700

Hello,

I have here an iPad Pro 11 3rd Generation which had a bad LCD.

We have swapped the screen and we are experiencing an issue with the Apple Pencil 2nd generation and compatible stylus.

Whenever you draw a diagonal line, you are unable to get it straight. It just makes wavy (jittery) lines. Please see image.

We have tried 2 new screen, 2 new pencils and a fresh install of iOS, but the problem is still there.

Any idea’s what is causing the issue?

iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen: How can I buy ipad USB-C and adhesive strips parts in Europe

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 16:16:21 -0700

Hi,

I want to replace my ipad pro (12.9" 3rd Gen) USB-C port.

I need to buy repair tools and parts. For the latter, I need two parts:

a new USB-C port
adhesive strips

I'm based in Europe. I can buy the tools here but not the two parts (I checked the european stores and contacted two of them and they confirmed they don't and won't sell them).

On the other hand, the US store have the parts but won't deliver to Europe.

This doesn't make sense. ifixit put me in a dead end.

What other options do I have to buy these parts?

thanks

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.
