Hi there. Can someone help me with the iPad's power button? I'm 15 and trying to fix my iPad's power button. I see that some kind of black piece holds it in, but I do not know how to put it in place. Also, I need help installing a new LCD. How much are those? Please don't ignore this question. I've been using my iPad for a while now, and I have a lot of important stuff on there.

iPad 8: How do I replace my ipads charging port?

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:01:28 -0700

As said in the title I have an Ipad gen 8 and its been very picky about how its plugged in to charge. A few days ago it stopped charging all together. I took it to the genius bar and was told the port was the problem and I needed a new ipad (not an option at the moment) so does anyone have any resources of changing/repairing the charging port of my Ipad? (also very suspicious that it $@$* itself a month before they stop servicing this gen of ipad rolls eyes)

iPad 2: How do I fix "iPad is disabled" error?

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 13:38:17 -0700

Hi,

In my tiny community, I'm known for fixing iPhones and iPads. The other day I got a very interesting iPad 2 (iOS 7.1) which has been totally disabled with wrong passcode tries. The owner swears she always entered the right passcode and it didn't unlock.

She even tried so long that now the iPad only says: "iPad is disabled. Connect to iTunes." When you connect the iPad to iTunes, it says it's locked with a passcode. Really? Who would've thought. :)

I even went to her place to connect the iPad to her computer because I naively thought the iTunes there will definitely say I should enter the passcode. Well it didn't. She of course doesn't want to lose all the data, because she obviously didn't back up this iPad in a very long time.

I'm playing with the idea of opening the iPad and disconnecting the battery. Do you guys have any experience with that? When I reconnect the battery and turn the iPad on, will it offer me a chance to enter the passcode?

All constructive opinions and questions welcome! :)

iPad 2: Replaced iPad battery but now it is stuck in a boot loop.

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 05:48:40 -0700

I replaced the battery of my iPad 2 with the new iFixit one but now it is stuck in a boot loop. I tried my old battery and it shows a low battery sign but the new battery just puts the iPad in boot loop. I tried the Home button + power button reboot thing but it didn't work. Could it be that the new battery might be faulty?

Thanks for any help :)

iPad 9: iPad 9 won't charge past 2% after screen digitizer replacement

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:04:44 -0700

Hello iFixit community!

So, I did a screen digitizer replacement for my mom's iPad 9th gen. This is actually the second digitizer replacement I have done on that iPad, I kinda botched the first one although it didn't have any issues with charging. The second time the repair went apparently smoothly. It was also bent so I had to take some time to bend it back into place.

After a while of my mom using it, she complains that when it charges the battery is stuck at 2%. The battery icon indicates that it is charging and it makes the chime when a charger is plugged in, but it still cannot charge past 2%. I tried force rebooting the iPad and that didn't seem to fix the issue either.

Idk if I accidentally damaged the battery or battery sensor during the repair, either when I was trying to bend the iPad back into place or when I placed a pick underneath the battery terminal as is customary when doing a repair to prevent shorts. I remember screwing the battery connector back in when finishing the repair.

iPad 3G: Where can I find the clips that secure the digitizer?

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 08:53:22 -0700

I have done the ultimate sin! I have broke the clips that hold the digitizer ribbon into the logic board.

Now the digitizer will not pick up touch!

The only thing I can do is try to replace the plastic clip that is on the connector.

i have done a massive search of google and cannot find the part without buying a complete logic board. Anyone have a source for these???

I may need more than two because I broke the other one trying to learn how to remove and reinstall!
