My iPad mini has never been used since 2017. It had problems charging when it worked it has a hole in the screen when I tap the screen had a dim flicker and stoped the battery logo will go black and gone back go black and come back etc. it makes ticking noises when I put it to my ear. And the port wobbles and has problem charging and it acts normal again flashing and ticking went but stuck on battery flashing when plugged is the port loose it keeps on showing that is plugged in and then it will say it’s not.

let it charge up overnight. Plug it into a Mac and run Coconut Battery on it and p[ost your results.

But it can’t charge cause I think my port is damaged cause if I move it it just shows the not charging or even out of nowhere.

If you can't charge it up. it's worthless to you. Get into it and repair it!

It turns on now but the port is bad it has to charge in a position

Either charger port needs to be cleaned or the port needs to be replaced.

Since the port is soldered to the board it'll need to be taken to someone that can replace the port.

@toothyhtf123 okay so you got a whole bunch of things going on here. First your screen needs to be replaced, second your port needs to be replaced. For that you will need to get a new lightning connector flex cable. It requires to be soldered to the logic board. So you will need to know how to solder some pretty thin stuff etc., (consider using a microsolder specialist for that work). Third I would recommend that you also replace the battery. It is possible that since this battery have been drained for a long time, it will no longer hold a sufficient charge. Since you are already doing a bunch or repairs, might as well replace it now.

For the lightning connector which is soldered to the board:

and the battery
