Trying to FIX: Amazon Tablet and iPad 

Apples throwaway landfill mentality!

If it boots and has iTunes logo that means it has failsafed and requiring DFU mode recovery (Default Factory Unit) which is very easy to preform.. tons of guides online. Usually what happpens if a corrupt firmware image or if older device or older firmware someone prob ripped cable out during the update and soft bricked it.. Apple baked in a failsafe to prevent hardbricking and allow recover attempts.

same on the ipad air 2

Rajan - they won't repair any legacy products, make them impossible for third parties to repair so they become junk - even though they're full of rare earth metals

@@realvivifromloona lol free repairs on everything? Who are you trying to lie to

I'd strongly suggest replacing them anyway, there's a reason why most devices won't charge a lithium battery below a certain percentage. It's not because they think there's no battery nor is something wrong with any component but because charging a "dead" lithium battery may cause the battery to short itself and ignite the lithium.

where can i buy one of these chargers?

iPhone was charging battery

I read the second part in Louis' voice.

Ah yes, I see men of culture indeed

If it was built any nicer, you couldn't afford it!

Lmao i too read it in louis' voice

@@handsolo1209I don't want to pay five thousand dollars for an underpowered piece of technology

@@ItsNorman Yes that's right but I was under the impression in this case that the serial number was not being read at all, not just during DFU mode. Forgive me, I was playing a game while watching this. I'll have to go back and re-watch the video to see if the serial was being read in recovery mode.

@@ItsNorman Yes indeed and its actually good that the checks are made before an update is pushed as it can keep a device from being bricked completely but Apple really needs to put more effort into being more specific with their error codes and showing the user what exactly has gone wrong. We all know that will never happen though as they continue to fight the right to repair. They will always give as little information as possible to stop people from repairing products themselves.

If it can boot then it’s not a flash memory issue at all, as the very image Jon display comes from the NAND. I repaired 1000s of iPads and this is simply someone soft bricked it and the device failsafed.. all you need to do is to default factory unit recovery mode it in iTunes.. tons of guides online. If it was a flash memory issue then it wouldn’t even display anything, I seen it on extremely rare occasions, and what happens is backlight comes on but nothing else, then boot cycles on and off rapidly.. I never personally recovered a complete failure and I would say if it’s not showing anything but backlight, get another opinion maybe missed something. But usually we eliminated display and other hardware so.. I said maybe 10% chance if rescuing such a failure if your lucky. If it was a boot rom issue then it will show Apple logo, then within 5 seconds usually just cuts off and reboots.. boot rom issue isn’t a flash memory issue normally. It is usually corrupted portion of an update.. getting out of this isn’t impossible but very hard, sometime you can still DFU it and recover.. I say 60% change of recovery. Few techniques you can use to interrupt the boot looping like attempting DFU in different combinations just enough to lock it out of looping can trigger it to fall in standard recovery mode and you can use a modified iTunes or a custom tool to force install the correct IPSW software files.. This style of failure is stalled a failsafe, happens when during install of firmware something goes wrong during less critical portions of the update.. battery died, cable got ripped out if was updating via iTunes, or just a corrupted file so how got installed.. this specific type of failure where shows the iTunes logo and cable means you have 90% chance of recovery using DFU mode recovery.. still a very small chance DFU won’t work. I only had it fail a few times and those few times are because of a bad battery not accepting a charge during recovery and/or SoC consuming more power then being delivered over USB, it’s very rare usually limited to well out of date devices at this stage.

It's also missing the shield between the LCD and battery

Yes, tools, setup, etc, would be kinda nice

:D soldering can be so relaxing and so satisfying when you repair something

Fuck Amazon though - they're monopolising

Yeah me too

hopefully you see this, i know this was 2 years ago. But can I use any cable to connect this to a kindle battery and does it need to be soldered?

What? No more charging problems!?

Cheers Ian :-)

why cant he get out of the recovery mode though

@@deluxe2644 ???

Braz TMZ you crazy

Fippppppppppppppppppppp

I subscribed to your channel

@@b.war08 ok

Thanks, I think it is a safety thing, once it goes under a certain voltage the device thinks it is unsafe to charge the battery, as it may be damaged. So a little kick start can sometimes get it working again. It is something along those lines :-)

Treena McGowan u would most likely need a soldering gun unless it’s only plug in I’d give it a shot after watching a ton of how to videos

Just take the back off it and fold the port in abit I reckon. Probably just plugging and unplugging the cable a bunch stretches the port over time so gets loose

correct that sticker is an RFID tag to stop thieves and they get disabled when you purchase the item through the security system's computer.

@@deathray0718 Actually no. It is an RFID tag, but that's used to program it to your Amazon account if you order it directly from Amazon. The Kindle E-Ink models have this too. The tag used for theft protection is much larger and on the packaging itself.

@@Vynncent It would make sense online but all the one's at Walmart have them they each only contain a security code I tested this theory with my phone emitting the same security key from a different one that wasn't purchased and sounded the passage alarm. So online will make sense not both.

He did mention doing it, just didn't have the stencil to do it and didn't really want to take it that far.

it does look like an rfid tag...

Hold my beer...

@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Still holding.....

@@Tass... lol

I broke the screen with a suction cup

I have one and its brilliant, use it far more than I ever did my Ipad

And yet, they charge stupidly inflated prices for their stuff, I don't really understand why people like Apple, had a company iphone once and I completely disliked it.

@@user-qv9ho1lj3z If that is their actual reason, I have to disagree, but maybe i'm not the "average" user then, because I think they are LESS user friendly, ironically.

@@CaptmagiKono i think its easier to use but it doesnt make it better. I think once youre used to ios its okay, problem with apple for me really is apple

CaptmagiKono The way he was writing that *does* instill at least a tiny bit of sarcasm/irony, doesn’t it?

Maybe it's exclusive to the UK 💷 🇧🇾.

It’s pronounced iPad you idiot!!

Almost all Apple products should be taken to an authorized repair dealer, most of their lineup up to 2012 is still supported and perform well enough. If you don't have apple care go to a third party repair who will charge less. if you plan to use their devices for 4-5 years I would always recommend Apple care. Oh and I don't blindly support Apple, I only own one of their devices (ipad).

@Jxst Dex people can say it however they like. Leave him alone.

Where do you get the nands from? and how would you replace a iphone 8 nand that keeps on rebooting the iphone after latest ios went on

@@vickihenderson8468 other donor boards, other parts sellers. I use a JCPro1000S to reprogram them

Well, I have an iPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode loop even after restore. Strange thing Is that there were no errors. Although it did get error 4014 which is the same as error 4013. It had its serial number showing up.

I’ve heard this and there’s special chargers u need to use that u plug the battery directly into to trick the battery into taking a charge then it will start working again but in the devise there’s safety modes that won’t allow a dead battery to charge

This is a very bad idea tho, the reason a dead lithium battery doesn't charge is not because the circuit thinks there is no battery. The cells are degrading (copper dissolves into the cell) when discharging to a critically low level. Charging it up causes the dissolved metal to crystallize again and if you are unlucky those crystals might pierce the membrane within the cell separating the leads. This may cause a short within the cells of the battery and cause the lithium to ignite. It's not guaranteed to happen but I'd strongly suggest replacing a jump-charged lithium battery as soon as possible and not trust it anymore (aka don't leave it in something unattended).

@@Stunex wow this is some very useful insight I didn't know about, but you have to admit that it can be a usefull method for diagnosing the issue and since I've done this a couple times on different products I'd say its not the riskyest thing to do but ya know that I know the risk of ignighting the lithium I'd definitly say that if this method works then a battery replacement is your best next step

hsr65 wow congratulations

Clearly you’re not understanding. I’m talking about the version of iTunes running on the pc. Not what he was trying to restore the iPad to.

hsr65 I’m congratulating you

His nand is dead anyway im pretty sure, those red flashes mean that im fairly sure

i third it
