I got my screen replaced, and it worked well for one night. Then the iPad died, and for some reason it wouldn’t charge, it got as far as 2% on a battery charger, so I’ve been able to tell that the display is working, but when I brought it back, they said it might have been a loose connection or the connector port, and that it’d be done in a couple of days. Now I’ve been told they mailed it out for a new chip to be soldered on when days ago it wasn’t mentioned to me that there was an issue with a chip? I guess I’m just nervous as to if this is a normal occurrence, or if anyone had gotten their screen replaced and had a similar issue? Or maybe someone could walk me through what they think is going on? Just looking for some solace hahaha… thank you in advance for any replies and forgive me if this has already been asked..
It’s possible the shop accidentally damaged the logic board while repairing your screen. This is always regrettable but if they are taking full responsibility for it, then you can’t really ask for much more. Ask them to explain exactly what happened and if there will be any additional charges for you. If they give a clear explanation, accept responsibility and will cover the costs, give them the time they need to make it right. If they are evasive or are blaming you for the issue, then you may be in for a rough ride. Be sure to come back and explain what they said to you, we can give you more guidance then.
The same thing happened to mine but I replaced the screen myself since I have done multiple iPads Air, iPad 6th gen. The problem has to do with the FPC battery connector.
When replacing a screen you usually isolate the battery so that you don’t accidentally damage the backlight or touch functionality when connecting the screen to the board. The problem with the newer iPads is that they are more fragile than the previous ones. They have small connectors and while sliding something under them to isolate the battery it’s easy to bend and break them. After replacing the screen on mine everything worked perfectly until I tried charging it and it wouldn’t go above 2-3%. I’m waiting for the replacement part to get here today.
