if it’s ok on here to ask this for a iPad I legally own. I need to find someone who I can pay to do a permanent removal of a iCloud activation lock on a iPad mini 5, ‘Wi-Fi only’ can anyone recommend to me who I should contact to get this done?

I actually dropped my iPad a few years ago and got the screen replaced. Now though, and when I first got it back after being fixed, a problem showed up with the the apps.

I can install them just fine but when I want to delete them now it doesn’t seem to work. When I press on the screen and the apps start to jiggle then press the x button nothing happens.

When I go into iPad storage and try and delete an app from there it just has the pin wheels going for a more time then reasonable before it just stops and doesn’t delete. I have tried restarting the app then deleting, deleting on airplane modes and looking to see if anything can help but it won’t work

The touch screen as well is just hard to deal with as sometimes when I’m typing ,like putting in my password to unlock, the last number will not press and it takes a few tries.

I already spent far to much trying to fix the screen the first place and they clearly didn’t do a good job reinstalling properly (as the bottom left corner of the iPad when I got it back where lifting up when I got back home and now this constant problem I’ve just been ignoring) so I don’t want to go back to the place. so I was wondering if there’s a way to fix the apps not deleting problem or if i should just try and replace the iPad.

I have an old iPad that I’d like to try fixing myself as a personal project.

The problem is that it’s stuck in a restart loop. I see the Apple logo, then it seems like there’s some kind of short inside, and it restarts again. Sometimes it shows a pink screen, and other times it manages to boot into iOS, but after a few minutes it shuts down and goes back into the loop.

The battery is fully charged, and I also tried doing a factory restore, but I can’t complete it because the iPad won’t enter restore mode properly—iTunes throws an error.

My questions:

• What could be the hardware issue?
• Where can I buy the spare parts?

Thanks!

I tried all the online suggestions but no joy.

I decided to replace the battery but first I removed the old one (partly to check my ability to do this ok) and found it at 0 volts.

So I ordered a new one and, before fitting, was surprised to find it also at 0 volts.

I wouldn’t have been too surprised but the spare battery I had ordered for my own iPad mini 2, two years ago, was still showing 3.5 volts.

However, the battery seller encouraged me to fit it and charge the device. I did this but no joy.

My real question is; “would you expect a NEW battery to arrive CHARGED?” ie. Is it possible I’ve been sold a dud battery?

Many thanks!

Kind regards, Mike.
