iPad 8: How do I replace my ipads charging port?

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 18:05:50 -0700

As said in the title I have an Ipad gen 8 and its been very picky about how its plugged in to charge. A few days ago it stopped charging all together. I took it to the genius bar and was told the port was the problem and I needed a new ipad (not an option at the moment) so does anyone have any resources of changing/repairing the charging port of my Ipad? (also very suspicious that it $@$* itself a month before they stop servicing this gen of ipad rolls eyes)

iPad Air 2: Does Swapping screens from another iPad Air 2 Work?

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:37:30 -0700

I've swapped a screen from from an Ipad air that wasnt working, but had a good screen into another ipad air that was working, but the screen was smashed.

I've swapped them, but now the working one doesn't turn on, I was just wondering if swapping screens this way works, or if I've damaged something in the process?

iPad: How to fix iTunes error 9

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 02:43:24 -0700

I have an iPad that's stuck on the Apple logo. I tried restoring it in DFU, recovery mode, and cooked-up custom firmware, all with the same result. The screen just keeps turning on and off on the Apple logo, and can't seem to get past it. The phone just keeps throwing error 9. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. The only other thing left to do is to change the ic. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

iPad Mini 2 Wi-Fi: Is there anyway to remove Icloud Lock For free?

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:44:53 -0700

So basically my grandmother gave us her old iPad mini 2, which she was locked out of because she could not remember her apple id or password, and she did not remember the phone number linked to it. We took it to apple and they said without a purchase receipt which we dont have, they cant unlock the device without proof of ownership. Since we dont know the apple id, phone number, or password, and dont have receipt, we have considered using a third party online tool, because there are reports of it actually working. So if anyone know if there is a completely free to download software, that will unlock my ipad for free, please let me know. I want to know if it is free and will it also unlock the whole device for free.

iPad 2: Replaced iPad battery but now it is stuck in a boot loop.

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 05:48:40 -0700

I replaced the battery of my iPad 2 with the new iFixit one but now it is stuck in a boot loop. I tried my old battery and it shows a low battery sign but the new battery just puts the iPad in boot loop. I tried the Home button + power button reboot thing but it didn't work. Could it be that the new battery might be faulty?

Thanks for any help :)

iPad Pro 9.7": Charging Cable tip stuck inside port, need help

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 03:27:55 -0700

Hi,

the tip of my charging cable broke and is stuck inside my ipad. I have tried the safety pin tip but all my safety pins instantly bend. I have dug a little bit of the white material in the middle of the broken part out but I am unable to get it out. Any tips for getting the tip out of the charging port? When I took it to the store, they said I would have to replace the entire ipad.

iPad 9: iPad 9 won't charge past 2% after screen digitizer replacement

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:04:44 -0700

Hello iFixit community!

So, I did a screen digitizer replacement for my mom's iPad 9th gen. This is actually the second digitizer replacement I have done on that iPad, I kinda botched the first one although it didn't have any issues with charging. The second time the repair went apparently smoothly. It was also bent so I had to take some time to bend it back into place.

After a while of my mom using it, she complains that when it charges the battery is stuck at 2%. The battery icon indicates that it is charging and it makes the chime when a charger is plugged in, but it still cannot charge past 2%. I tried force rebooting the iPad and that didn't seem to fix the issue either.

Idk if I accidentally damaged the battery or battery sensor during the repair, either when I was trying to bend the iPad back into place or when I placed a pick underneath the battery terminal as is customary when doing a repair to prevent shorts. I remember screwing the battery connector back in when finishing the repair.
