iPad 11: Is the digitizer the same as on the iPad 10th gen?

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 13:43:57 -0700

In this comment, a technician on YouTube says the digitizer is the same between the 10th & 11th gen. Can anyone here confirm that? Has anyone here done a digitizer replacement on an 11th gen? Can I just order the 10th gen digitizer for an 11th gen?

iPad Air 6 11": panic full sensor array 0x200000

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 13:57:02 -0700

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me to find the problem in my ipad air m2 11 wifi, my ipad has just been exposed to liquid, at that time I put my ipad air in a plastic bag, then I didn't realize that water had entered my plastic bag, and the water managed to enter the gaps in my ipad so that my screen background became full of water and restarting started

after that incident I tried to replace the screen and clean the water or corrosion inside my ipad, I looked at the logic board there was no corrosion (but don't know about the condition of the other parts), after I replaced the screen, the case remained the same, namely restarting every 2-3 minutes, and my ipad before turning off to restart, my ipad screen seemed to freeze in place for a few seconds then displayed a pink screen then turned off, does anyone know this problem? this is my full panic, thank you

For example, if the flexible sensor on my iPad Air 6 m2 11 inch WiFi is damaged or torn, can I use a spare part from the iPad Air 5 m1 WiFi to install it on my iPad Air 6 m2 11 WiFi? Is that suitable?

Ipad Magic Keyboard Folio: Need replacement key for MWR533LL/A, broken hinge.

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 08:08:25 -0700

Unfortunately, my keyboard took a tumble and one of the keys broke loose. I’ve reattached the key but, one of the spokes broke off and the bottom doesn't clip on.

Will a hinge from another magic keyboards work for the ipad foilo keyboards? If not, do y’all know of any suppliers for the folio magic keyboards or a place to get something cheap to salvage off?

Android Tablet: Uelefone Armor pad 2 File transfer via USB no longer working

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 06:16:35 -0700

Tried all the usual fixes. Switch on Developer options. Select USB Debugging (toggle USB Debugging) Make sure USB is in file transfer mode. Notification doesn't show up so cannot select file transfer. Tablet doesn't show in Windows (though same brand phone shows on the same lead. Drivers updated on Win 11 and working for phone.

Manufacturer (ulefone) trying to help but translation a problem.

They provided a firmware update with complicated instructions but basically it runs on the pC to flash the firmware on the tablet ... via USB.... Erm... just one tiny problem there.. But I don't seem to be able to make them understand. Just keep being told to follow the instructions. Which as the tablet won't transfer files via USB of course I can't!!

iPad Pro 10.5": Visually glitching when touching the bezel near the home button?

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:46:04 -0700

Has anyone ever seen this before? Know how it can happen or if there's a solution other than replacing the screen?

Alternatively, if it's just... left this way, will it get worse over time?

The screen works perfectly fine. But if you touch the bezel just about 1" to the right of the home button it glitches like crazy. As soon as you stop touching the bezel it goes back to normal.

I have taken a quick video, but can't upload video here. Some screenshots attached.

It does not do this with any part of the screen nor any other part of the bezel. Only specifically when touching the bezel in this exact space.

To be clear, a small bit of pressure is required. Just physical contact on that spot doesn't do anything, but a small amount of pressure (around the same amount to click the home button) produces these weird results.

First photo is screen working fine. Next photos are just some examples of the crazy chaotic glitching that can happen.

iPad 9 Wi-Fi: iPad worked great. Went to sleep and never woke up.

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 14:05:19 -0700

My iPad worked great and had no issues. My iPad went to sleep and never woke up. When I needed to use my iPad again it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in and it didn't register that it had been plugged in for charging. I took it to an apple store and they said it had "mid system failure". I just replaced the battery on it and it has the same issue. My next thought is to check the connector pins. I'm not positive on what "mid system failure" means, but I was curious if any one had any idea and what I should check next or should be checking instead? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
