iPad (5th generation) Repairs We Offer
Front glass / digitizer repair
On this model the outer glass and LCD are separate layers, so cracked glass or touch failure can sometimes be addressed with a glass/digitizer repair when technically and commercially appropriate.
Learn more →LCD repair
Lines, dark spots, backlight issues or a black display point to the LCD, which is a separate layer on this model.
Learn more →Full display assembly replacement
When both the outer glass and LCD are damaged, a full display assembly replacement is usually the better option.
Learn more →Battery replacement
Rapid drain, unexpected shutdowns, slow charging, overheating or a swollen battery. Stop using a swollen or overheating iPad.
Learn more →Lightning charging-port repair
Lightning port issues: loose connection, no charging, intermittent charging, bent pins, debris or accessory-detection problems. Charging symptoms can also involve the cable, adapter, battery or logic board.
Learn more →Home-button repair
Unresponsive, sticky or damaged Home button and button flex issues.
Touch ID diagnostics
Touch ID troubleshooting. Biometric diagnostics depend on the damaged component and the device's security pairing; some original components are paired to the logic board and may have repair limitations.
Speaker repair
Low, distorted or missing audio and speaker imbalance.
Microphone repair
Callers can't hear you, recordings fail or FaceTime audio is weak.
Volume-button repair
Stuck, unresponsive or damaged volume buttons.
Power-button repair
Stuck, unresponsive or damaged power/sleep button.
Frame / housing repair
A bent frame can stop a screen sitting correctly, cause repeated cracking or press on the battery.
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth diagnostics
Weak or dropping Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pairing problems.
Cellular antenna diagnostics (cellular models)
Poor signal, no cellular data or SIM-detection problems on cellular (Wi-Fi + Cellular) models.
Learn more →Water-damage diagnostics
Moisture can affect the display, charging system, battery, cameras and logic board. Liquid-damage repairs are not guaranteed.
Learn more →Logic-board repair
Some no-power, charging, display and liquid-damage problems require board-level repair or microsoldering.
Data recovery
Recovery depends on storage condition, logic-board condition and device security. Data recovery is not guaranteed.
