iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Won't Charge Charge Port Issue

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 13:56:54 -0700

I wish ifixit would post a how to replace the charge port for the iPad 6th generation, because mine won't charge up anymore. I was able to bend the cable connector end a bit to get it to charge but now it won't do that anymore. The charge port has felt a bit loose inside for about a year now, so I know that is the issue.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Will a bad charge port cable cause static noise in the speakers?

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 15:21:06 -0700

I just had a charge port flex cable soldered to the board in a iPad 6 because it was not charging. Now it’s charging great, BUT I’m getting static in the speakers. After replacing both speakers I’m still getting the static noise. I know the connectors to the speakers are on the charge pot cable. What could cause the static noise? Could it be a defective charging port flex cable?

Thanks!

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: iPad A1893 touch not working

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 06:04:27 -0700

I recieved iPad 6th Gen A1893 with no touch function, immediately i tried soft reset and that didn't help, I ordered a new touchscreen and tested it but still no fix, resoldered FPC connectors even tho they were holding on just fine, all diode values were normal reffering to repair wiki diode mode values for this model, I bought the same model for parts and the touch was working on it, replaced both Broadcom IC's near the connectors that were responsible for touch function but issue still remains, checked the caps around the IC's none were short to ground, looked through thermal camera nothing seems to be heating up abnormally, out of ideas, what should I try next?

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Adhesive for the battery and main board

Fri, 30 May 2025 21:46:33 -0700

TL;DR; I want adhesive to re-glue the logic board and the battery so they stay put. However, I also want the glue to be able to be removed easily.

In the case of adhesive for the main board, high thermal conductivity would be a nice bonus.

I have removed the adhesive that come with the battery, I think it's too strong for safe removal.

I have managed to disassemble my iPad, non-destructively remove the battery (or at least, not that it matters, I have a new one in there). However, I have also removed the main board, and everything else.

A lot of component is held in place by glue. iFixit's batteries come with glue strips, but I removed them because I fear that removing it, should I ever need to, is going to be impossible, and I dont want to go through the traumatic experience of dowsing the entire inside with a quart of isopropyl alcohol and prying gently.

This also include the main board. It's not "glued", but the metal foam connecting those two are permanently destroyed upon the lifting of the board from the chassis.

I have 3M command strips, but they are too thick, the ipad probably won't close.

I also have thermal epoxy (or, thermal glue), however those set permanently, which is not useful should I want to service my iPad again.

I have tried Scotch double sided tape, but they are too weak.

I have thought of hot glue, allowing relatively easy methods of removal, however it might soften itself due to heat from device, so it's also nto great.

I am open to adhesive that is soluble. Super glue technically count as one, but it might destroy the battery and damage the board, I don't want to do that.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Areas of screen unresponsive to touch after screen replacement

Thu, 08 May 2025 15:26:42 -0700

I am just about done with the iPad 6 Wi-Fi Front Panel Assembly Replacement procedure. The LCD is screwed back in with the new touchscreen connected. I turned on the iPad to test the touchscreen (before final step of removing adhesive strips and securing touchscreen down).

Home button works fine - iPad lights up and when I go to enter my code, the 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 all seem to work but the 1, 2, and 3 buttons do not respond to touch. “Delete” and “Cancel” text buttons both work.

I am able to power down (by sliding across the top of the screen) fine. Tried a hard reboot but same issue persists.

Is this a problem with the iFixit replacement screen or could there be another issue?

Thanks.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: iPad only charges when turned off.

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 04:12:48 -0700

Alright guys - I’ve seen this issue twice this week in my store, one with an iPad 6th gen and the other on an iPad mini 4. The device only charges when turned off. I replaced the charge port on the 6th gen because it wouldn’t charge at all before (according to the customer), and it worked fine for a day, but the customer came back now it has the same issue, but if the device is turned off and left on the charger for a bit, it will turn on with 70-80 percent battery. My thoughts are either a battery or a board, but I’m wondering if anyone has seen this issue before and has a solution. Thanks!

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Multiple iPads icloud locked

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 02:27:58 -0700

My wife and I own a small Cell Phone Repair Shop in Aus. We were recently approached by a large company here to fix 150+ ipad digitizers. They did not want to proceed with the repairs as they were expecting them cheaper than what we could do. They proceeded to tell me they would be donating them to charity etc. I offered to buy some of them. We purchased 21 in total from ipad 6 through to ipad 9 series. We have repaired all of them and had minimal issues(a couple without touch ID etc). We have been selling them off however there are 3 devices that are Icloud Locked. Speaking with the IT manager at this company he has informed me that they are locked by 3 individual staff who no longer work there. There were 2 others that were locked but they were able to unlock them for us. Is there anyway to remove the icloud/activation lock via a jailbreak process etc?. I don't want to sell these 3 if i jailbreak them, i will just give them to our kids to use. But i would like to get some use out of them as we have fully repaired them and they work just fine. Any help is appreciated.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: Replaced iPad battery but now it doesn’t charge

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:02:50 -0700

I just finished replacing a battery on iPad (6th generation) WiFi version. Replacement went smooth as I had done it before. But now when I plug the iPad in for charging it turns on for a bit, and then it seems to “short” and turns off. When I try to leave it charging for a while the same thing happens. It’s almost as if it doesn’t want to charge at all.

Prior to replacing the battery, the only thing that would happen when I plugged it in would be the screen with the drained battery symbol and the cable diagram hinting at plugging it in to charge. After leaving it charging for a while it would never boot up past the Apple logo.

After replacing the battery I can actually unlock the iPad and mess around with a few apps before it turns off again. I am mostly asking to see if anyone has experienced this before? Did I accidentally mess up the new battery when I replaced it? I’ve looked at all other connections, and ribbons. They’re all connected how theyre supposed to be. I just don’t know if this is a battery issue or a logic board issue.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: iPad only charges when screen is ON.

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 12:50:09 -0700

I recently replaced the digitizer on an iPad 6th Gen. The iPad turned on and seemed to be charging. The user was not willing to give me the passcode so I completed the repair, clamped it, and left it plugged in overnight. In the morning I noticed it was still only at 3%. I have a meter and noticed that there was charge current only when the screen was on. When the iPad went to sleep the current dropped to zero. If I woke the iPad up with either the home button or power button it would start to charge again. I tried a force restart but no change. I gave the iPad back to the owner and told them about the issue and gave them some things to try such as checking for updates, reset all settings, etc. They say they tried these but it didn't fix the problem. They now say they will give me the passcode so I can troubleshoot this further. Has anyone experienced this? Is it likely a software issue that might be cured by an erase and restore? Or is there a hardware issue that could be at play? I do have a Tristar tester and it reported PASS when I tested it. Any advice appreciated.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: iPad still not responding after battery change

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:12:27 -0700

Hi! I just swapped the battery out in our iPad 6 thanks to the excellent tools and guide on iFixit. However, it's still not responding at all including when plugged into Macs (multiple) or using different leads.

Any sensible suggestions of what to try next?

It's out of warranty and I doubt Apple would touch now that I've opened it up.

Thanks.

iPad 6 Wi-Fi: My iPad 6th Gen WI-FI had a weird battery level indicator

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 09:45:03 -0700

Recently, my iPad 6th Gen WI-FI's battery level indicator behaved weirdly. It started when I saw that the battery level was stuck at 17%, I decided to restart my device, the battery level was down to 8%, and then weirdly rised to 19%. I then let my device sit for a while, it now showed 15%. After that, it went back to normal. The analytics showed 1932 battery cycles which means around 61% battery health. I had this device since Christmas 2018.

Update: I didn’t properly plug in the charger. It dropped from 10% to 6% in 2 minutes. At first, it charged slowly, but it looks like it’s now charging fast.
