Could it simply be that I have damaged the proximity sensor cable and need to replace it?

If replaced, will the face recognition ever work again?

What other features will I not have if I don’t replace it?

Cheers

There are no clear step by step instructions on how to apply and use the tape.

(right upper part when horizontalized).

Is there a easy way to fix this? If not (how to buy new lcd or display), I give up ...

There’s an IC (343S00235) that is getting extremely hot as soon as the charging cable is plugged in. I see no obvious signs of failure of any other component or any other hot spots.

Any ideas? IC failure or am I missing another culprit?

after replacing the USB C port of my 11" 2nd gen. iPad Pro my iPad doesn't show the battery charging percentage anymore and reboots permanently (kernel panic*). I suspect I might have damaged a pin of my battery connector when inserting the cardboard strips? My questions: Is this a possible reason for my issue? Are there other possible reasons I could check? If the connector is damaged - is there any other chance for a fix except replacing my battery?

Here the first (relevant) part of the kernel panic report (ips):

I replaced my iPad Pro 11” M1 (3RD GEN) screen with a Gen2 glass screen—Apple Pencil now works very oddly. Lots of dead spots as I draw lines or anything. Finger works fine though.

Only the Pencil has that issue.

The Gen 2 screen blocks the autobrightness sensor on the M1 Gen 3 ipad. Wasn’t a deal breaker for me. But the pencil not working properly is killing me atm.

Any idea why that’s happening?

Weird thing also is that Sometimes the pencil will kick in and work perfectly, but just for a few minutes before going nuts again. 90% of the time it works badly.

I’m super frustrated as I have a key which needs replacing on a Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 11” 2nd gen. The key is “}]”, the plastic hinge piece of the key broke. Unfortunately, Apple said they would need to replace the entire unit to fix the one key which would cost $200+.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for it? It would be super easy to replace if I can find the part.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure, since ifixit doesn't offer a display for the 2nd generation.
