iPad Wi-Fi: No Speaker Sound - Headphones Work Fine

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:27:53 -0700

Hi All,

The sound on my iPad all of a sudden stopped working. The sound works fine with headphones in and I can change the volume, but when I unplug the headphones I get absolutely no sound from the speaker, and I can't even change the volume.

I originally thought this must have been a software issue so I went through all the settings, checked mute etc.

After that, I tried a reset using the power and home button, and I even restored to factory settings.

I then changed the speaker with a new one, still no luck.

I have now changed the headphone jack as I thought this may have been interfering, but there is still no sound.

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Michael

iPad Wi-Fi: How do you reset the restrictions password on an iPad?

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 11:07:39 -0700

I placed a passcode on my daughters iPad (1st generation), but I forgot the restrictions password (even after 13 attempts). I don't want to delete anything, but I need to access the the restrictions settings to figure out how she's still able to access inappropriate content.

Thanks everyone.

Gotta love teens on the internet. Shoot me now.

iPad Wi-Fi: Is it possible to build an Ipad out of parts from online?

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 18:09:05 -0700

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if it's possible to build an ipad out of parts ordered from online?

LIke i found a few sites where you can get the LCD and the case, but i'm wondering if it's possible to order other parts like the logic board and the speakers. etc.

Would it be possible?

iPad Wi-Fi: How to fix a stuck power button?

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:01:14 -0700

I recently dropped my iPad when it slipped off my lap. (Less than 2 feet.) It landed on the power button and now the button is stuck. The iPad itself works completely fine, however, I am unable to manually turn off the screen or perform a reset.

How can I unstuck the merely stuck power button?

iPad Wi-Fi: How to bypass iPad A1396 Activation Lock?

Sat, 03 Feb 2024 02:50:31 -0700

Yeahhh, so this definitely sounds like a dishonest question to be asking but this is my kid’s iPad, promise. My daughter cracked our old family iPad, A1396. When I bought a new digitizer and when I tried replacing the screen, I hacked through what I learned through here is the Flex cable. Well, I eventually got around to installing that and everything works as it should now. Except, I made an error during install and thought I need to reset the iPad because it was stuck on the connecting to wifi screen. It wouldn’t allow me to cancel it and retry and I didn’t have the power button attached right to exit. So, stupid me- reset it somehow. I went back inside fixed my power button again and got it back running to enter in my Apple ID. This time it went passed the wifi section and got stuck in an Activation Lock screen. I can not get passed it. Apparently, the person who sold it to me 5-years ago, I believe, has their email address still assigned to it. The iPad went back to his information. It’s 5-years ago. I do not have the receipt.

I was on support with Apple for 45 minutes. Basically, you are SOL ma’am. I verified that this iPad was on my iCloud account. Hooked it up to my PC, etc. Oh, and she suggested that maybe if I deleted this iPad from my iCloud account, that maybe I can sign in the verification section then. I told her my hesitation about that, but I did it anyway feeling like that it may be my only option.

It didn’t work. I now have a useless iPad, but a fixed one! I need to get this working again for my kiddo.

Can someone please share with me a way to get around the Activation Lock screen, either here or PM me, please?

UGHHHH this stinks!

iPad Wi-Fi: How to eliminate the passcode and reset

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:02:12 -0700

I got in a 16GB A1219 iPad. The mother told me her child had tried to jailbreak it and locked it up. I plugged it into my 10.7.2 MacBook Pro and opened iTune and get the message "You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with itunes". I then get the option to retry or cancel. I read Oldturkey's answer but don't have a right click or any idea of how to proceed. How do you reset the restrictions password on an iPad?
