After replacing the nand chip, the ipad works normally. However, since the existing nand chip is completely dead, there is no way to extract the serial, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth Mac addresses. (I tried the nand programmer, but I couldn't query any Mac addresses. The chip is completely dead.) Sadly, I don't even have a Mac address written down before, so there is no way to know it.

+For devices A12 and above, I understand that Mac Address is also stored in AP, and I was wondering if there is a way to extract it.

Update: I found this white ring around the home button hole, am I supposed to remove this because the old screen doesn’t seem to have it, I’m assuming that’s adhesive under the white ring?

Update 2: Wow that was the issue, I didn’t realize the white ring around the home button was an adhesive cover I was supposed to remove, it works fine now…..

I have a question on the battery replacement guide for the iPad Air 3. At step 12 the battery is disconnected. Since I haven't done this before, I have a little respect and don't want to break anything.

On Youtube, I found a video, where an alternative way of disconnecting the battery is described (Link, Minute 4:24). The guy in the video puts an opening pick beside the connector and not directly between the contacts of the connector.
For the iPad Air 3 this would mean, that an opening pick is put on the right side of the connector along the logic board.

What are your opinions on this method? Is it recommended or should I do it with the battery blocker?

Thank you very much for your help!

Here are some pictures, I hope you can find something useful for me.

Btw, the display shattered. I don’t know, how bad it is, I will see, when the problem with the slit is solved.

How best do I test the device aside from the display to determine they are sound?

Does the restarting behavior I described above make this issue more severe?

Is the corrosion taking its toll on this and no worth to repair?

I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks,

Took the device apart. Would be curious on your take on how bad or not so bad these look.

I'm planning on cleaning these up and giving them a go. Thanks.

Does anyone have any advice or any idea what could be causing this issue?

Thank you.

as the title says, does the iPad Pro 10.5” lcd work on the iPad Air 3rd gen?

I have an iPad Air 3rd gen in for repair which the customer had told me was an iPad Air 1 so don’t have the lcd display for that model in stock but my local supplier has iPad Pro 10.5” screens in stock and are cheaper than the iPad Air lcds.

I have a separate iPad Pro 10.5” digitiser which when connected to the iPad Air 3 works fine but don’t have the lcd to test.

thanks.

I’ll be ordering from the iFixit UK/Europe store, so any region-specific details would be helpful.

Thanks!

I recently purchased an iPad Air third generation for my 89-year-old mother from the Apple Store.

She is learning how to use it. However, the volume switch which is located on the upper right outer edge of the iPad is not only very small but also very difficult for her to use. It has one small rectangular button for increasing the volume. And just below it, it has one very small rectangular button below it for decreasing the volume.

She not only has a hard time to find and see these two little buttons (that are no more than ½ inch in length each) but also to manipulate them with her old fingers.

I hope to find a toggle switch which could be attached / stuck over the volume buttons that could elongate those two volume buttons. If it elongates the up button, the button would give more space for her to press the INCREASE VOLUME part of the buttons, or give her more space to press the DECREASE VOLUME button.

Sadly, SIRI and placing the volume on the iPad Air’s front screen didn’t work for her.
