If you hold the button down the device will power on or off like normal. Just the sleep function doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I figure it should be along the right side but I can't tell from your pics.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

First of all, I am not new to repairing Apple devices, or even the iPad mini in this case. I own a repair shop in the Netherlands. A customer brought in 2 iPad mini's both wifi only versions with cracked glass. I replaced both digitizers with good quality aftermarket one's. One iPad is working fine, without problems. However the other one randomly shuts down. I already opened it again and disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes and reconnected it. After that I left it powered on during the night and there was no problem. It will still on and didn't shutdown during the night. This morning i started to use the iPad again and all the suddenly it reboots again, most of the times it bootes just fine, after very little usage it reboots.

Does any of you have the same experience, and more importantly, is there a fix?

Thanks for reading! I am looking forward to the reply's.

I'd love to be able to do repairs for extra $$, but I can't bring myself to send out items with marks and dust inside. How do the pros avoid this?

So, I have an ipad mini. I've had it for six months and it was working fine twelve hours ago. I fell asleep, and when I woke up and tried to turn it on, it didn't. It was plugged in all night because it was on 4% the last time I saw it was working.

I tried replugging it, it didn't work.

I tried using the iphone 5 cord, it didn't work.

I tried pressing the home button and the power button simutaneously, it was still unresponsive.

I tried plugging it into my computer and trying to restore it.. but there's another problem. It won't sync to my computer, so itunes isn't able to read it at all.

Yes, I tried reinstalling itunes and it still remained unresponsive.

Any idea how it can be fixed? If at all?

Thanks,

Shiori

I've tried searching for controller boards for the LCD model from the teardown article (iPad Mini Wi-Fi Teardown), but to no success. Does anyone know if it's even possible to do this? Would it be possible to find one and ask the seller/manufacturer to put custom firmware on it? Being a Samsung display, I'm a bit surprised it's so hard to find, but it's also a very old device.
