The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, ru-vid.comUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
this is a bit goofy but thanks for helping the people who are smart enough to actually do this! But seriously, nice work, I’m just too dumb to do stuff like this so I’d rather spend 50 bucks to get it fixed lol
Either way you look at this repair it will require some soldering. The other option is to remove the logic board and replace the whole charging port flex
I have a 7th generation iPad that I purchased new about 4 years ago. The charging cord won’t go into the charging port. Quite sure I’m using the correct charging cord. When I try to look into charging port (without dismantling the iPad), it looks like there two nodules poking out slightly from both sides at the back of the charging port. I don’t see any dust or dirt in the charging port. Is what I described fixable? Can I fix it myself? I haven’t tried to use the iPad in a few years. I wanted to give it to my granddaughter. Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.
Hi Janet, I see this comment is a couple of months old. In case you still have the same issue, what you described sounds like a portion of the end of a lightning cable has come off inside the port. A repair shop can typically pull it out using very fine tweezers, and with a little luck that's all that's needed. I wouldn't particularly recommend trying this yourself as you can damage the pins of the port which is a bigger ordeal to replace.
Bit of Loctite on the screws too perhaps? Does this problem of the weak solder joints cause just intermittent charging or can it cause any other charging issues, for example, only charging when off?
Yes, loctite for sure. Mine was stolen from me recently hence not being included in the video. I usually find only charging when the device is off to be linked to the charging IC rather than the port
Great video, quick question, does this would cause to allow charging only byvone side of the cable and only using power brick of usb type-c ? With USB A chargers it judt don not charge
HI, i just wondering, if i bring it to repair shop when they process to clean it or change the port,does it means that my program is re-program and cause delete my data file like photos, video or other file? thanks
@@iDoctorUK hi iDoctor, so my charging port is broken i think, can i charge it with dc5v it does have it just need to buy the dc5v plug/cable..i tried to charge it with the regular usb port to the wall but wouldnt charge. when i turn it on it comes on for a second or two then black again but its not picking any charge up with the small charge port..thanks:)
This will be the last one for me too. Out of all the issues a computer or phone or Ipad could have, how amazing is it that the single most basic connection is a problem. I mean how f'ing hard is it to make an input that accepts a charge. It's absolutely incredible.
Yeah, ok, I'll get right on that LOL! I think mines a lost cause. I often have it sitting on a little metal adjustable tripod on a roll table by my bed next to a JBL Flip speaker. Both are connected to 6' USB cords draped to wall outlet. One night I toss my shirt into laundry basket nearby but shirt slips from hand falls on USB cords sending iPad JBL and tripod all went flying from table hitting wall radiator heater ending on floor. Arrrrgh! Needless to say iPad's screen cracked. And part of the damn USB cord's A-plug end literally broke off stuck inside iPad charge port. Making matters worse I thought I could jimmy it out using tweezers and determination- need I say more? Anyway that's my sad little story of my beloved iPad. For now, adding insult to injury, I'm using my Amazon fire tablet backup. 🤢
