My iPad Won't charge! Here's the fix

by websitebuilder • 07 Jan, 2021
Is your iPad having a charging problem and you don’t know what to do? You plug it in expecting it to charge, but the screen remains completely black or is stuck at the battery sign? In this post we will explain what to do when your iPad is not charging and show you how to fix the fault. When the iPad stops charging you should check the following: The iPad charger: make sure the charging adapter is plugged in the wall plug try with another device that you have on hand use only MFi-Certified charger try to charge your iPad from a usb port such a computer/laptop can be very slow, we would recommend using a usb port that supports 2A 10w minimum. The charging port If you tried other lightning cables and the charging adapter, now is time to look inside of the port and specifically, we’re looking for any dirt or lint that could be preventing your Lightning cable from making a clean connection to your iPad’s charging port. This is quite rare on iPads but more commonly seen on iPhones. If you feel the connection is loose when the cable is plugged in it could mean the dirt is getting in the way or a more serious fault with the charging port that may need repairing. This could be caused by wear and tear after months or years of usage and inevitably the charging port will need replacing. If you're not sure, send your device to us for diagnostics. See below how we conduct diagnostics. How do i clean my charging port? See the links below on how to clean the port yourself. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8026378 https://appletoolbox.com/iphone-not-charging-lightning-port-problems-fix/

Why iPad battery drains so fast?

by websitebuilder • 05 May, 2020
Out of the common signs your battery is failing - slow charge, not lasting all day, dying unexpectedly, a swollen battery is the most urgent and dangerous. Battery swelling happens due to "outgassing", which occurs when a battery gets overcharged, damaged, or simply old. Under those circumstances, the chemical reaction that keeps your battery running breaks down and, just like the name suggests, outputs gas. The battery casing is built to contain that nasty gas—so, inevitably, it bloats up. The iPad batteries are lasting a lot longer than the iPhone ones, understandably, we are glued to our phones all day long these days unlike the iPad that may accompany us half the time an iPhone would. from our experience we have seen that the iPads that have 2+ years and over 400 load-cycles start showing signs of needing a battery replacement. How do i know if the iPad battery is swollen/expanded How could you tell a battery is swollen? It’s not always obvious but it may show by rising your screen. That’s when the screen looks like it’s separating from the rear housing. Another symptom is when screen sensitivity is impaired by the battery inflating and pushing up the screen which is pulling the cables out of their place. You may also see pressure marks on the screen. Once the device is open, you may see the battery’s wrapping is wrinkly or inflated.

Why are MacBook screen replacements expensive?

by websitebuilder • 04 May, 2020
MacBooks tend to have two different types of screen replacements. Some models will need to have the LCD and the screen (or in some cases bezel) replaced separately. Some LCDs and screens are bonded together therefore the whole lid will need to be replaced. Costs vary depending on the type of repair that is needed that is why it’s so important to know the model number of the device we are about to fix to ensure we have the correct parts ready for it.

How to fix water damage iPhone & iPad

by websitebuilder • 03 May, 2020
First of all, turn off your phone and do not plug it in on charge. You don’t want to be supplying electricity to a phone full of liquid, it could create more damage making the repair costly! Forget what mainstream media says about using rice. Unfortunately rice does not magically suck out the water from the inside of your phone and actually leaving it in rice can create more damage than good by getting tiny bits of rice stuck inside ports.
