iPad 2 Wi-Fi EMC 2415: Wifi sometimes available, sometimes grayed out

Tue, 08 Aug 2017 04:23:40 -0700

Okay, I have an odd scenario here. My Ipad2 was able to connect to my regular 2.4G Wifi but not my 5G Network. Then, my son dropped it! So, I ordered a new Wifi antenna along with the digitizer, figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone. When I first replaced it, and booted up, all was good. One day, after rebooting, the Wifi was disabled. I couldn't even turn it on. Rebooting didn't work, Airplane mode on/off didn't work, Resetting the network settings to factory, didn't work, and even restoring my IPAD from scratch didn't work. So, I shut it down. 2 days later, I booted it up, and Wifi was available, and going strong again! Next time I rebooted, it was disabled again! So, since then, I've replaced the Antenna 4 times now (all ordered from different sellers at different times, so I could discount a bad batch concept). Each time, I have the same behavior, if the Ipad is off a day or two, it will boot up with Wifi enabled. Once I reboot though, Wifi is disabled. I think I've pretty much ruled out a hardware issue (except the Wifi daughter board chip), so is there something I am doing wrong here? Something I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi: Touch ID not working after screen replacement

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 19:05:46 -0700

So I attempted to replace a broken screen on the iPad mini 4. I successfully replaced the screen and home button but then realized the Touch ID isn't working. Of course, after the fact, I read how this can happen. I removed the home key and replaced to new screen but a small cable tore and unsure what exactly it does and how to repair. I took a picture but unsure how to upload. It's a small square to the left of the home key.

iPad Air 2: Digitiser problem, not responding

Sun, 04 Dec 2016 12:41:48 -0700

Help!!!

I have recently purchased an iPad Air 2 off eBay. It was described as working but with a heavily damaged screen. I received the IPad and purchased an OEM LCD and digitiser all in one. After fixing the screen and the iPad booting up fine I found that the digitiser does not work. I rechecked the pins on the board and how they were seated and al was fine.....I eventually put this down to a faulty digitiser.

After sending the screen back and recieveig a replacement I went ahead fitted It, however the problem remains. I very much doubt I have another faulty digitiser so I'm thinking the problem lays elsewhere.

Could any one give me any ideas of what might be causing the problem? I'm out of ideas. I hope it's not a faulty logic board!

EDIT! CHECK THE PICTURES

Thanks in advance.

iPad 3 Wi-Fi: iPad 3 32GB doesn't load nor sync, no visible reason

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 13:38:39 -0700

I have an iPad 3 32GB Wifi, that doesn't load nor sync, also in reset or DFU mode, as if there's a power supply or cable problem. However, the supply as well as cable works with other devices.

There is no visible reason in the connector as far as I can see. I plan to pick this apart. Any suggestions what to look for?

Other actions to take first? I still have about 50% battery left

iPad Mini 2 Wi-Fi: snapped off screw retainers on digitizer/lcd cover

Thu, 20 Oct 2016 03:30:41 -0700

I snapped off the middle screw retainer on the digitizer/lcd cover on an iPad mini 2. I was wondering first of all if it will affect anything. It doesn't seem to have any circuits or connections broken beneath it. Seems almost like it was glue under it. Second, can I use a special type of glue to place it back?

Thank you.

Here is a picture of the spot:
