iPad Pro 12.9": iPad Pro 12.9 battery replacement, not charging.

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 08:59:49 -0700

I replaced a battery in the iPad Pro 12.9 iOS 11 with two OEM batteries. The charging symbol appears and sticks at 1% or 30%. I put the old battery back in and it charges and functions perfectly.

Not sure what to do at this point. I googled the issue and couldn’t really get a tip.

Any advice?

What are the differences between the 9.7" iPad Pro released in 2016 and the 9.7" iPad released in 2017?

Whats the difference if the iPad will be used mainly for photography processing (24.2 MegaPixel DSLR input) and possibly for recording music (GarageBand or other software)?

In addition to basic email, etc,

iPad Pro 9.7": Safari freezing since upgrading to iOS 11.x

Mon, 20 Nov 2017 19:28:02 -0700

Beginning with the iOS 11.x update Safari randomly freezes at various times.

If I need to back up while typing it sometimes freezes. Sometimes I start to type and when the keyboard comes up something is already pressed. It can be the back button, another random key, or sometimes it is an “accented” letter such as å or ē which I have never typed. Other times it will turn off while on a web page, turn back on and it is frozen, you cannot see any of the website tabs showing, it is just a solid gray.

The only thing that works is a force restart, that gets pretty irritating after 7-8 times a night...

HELP!!!!!

iPad Pro 12.9": Vertical lines on lcd after display replacement

Fri, 06 Oct 2017 04:59:05 -0700

I recieved an iPad Pro 12.9" in for repair from another shop. They bought a new display with the daughter already attached, but it is showing a bunch of vertical lines down the right center and nothing else. It doesn't look like they disconnected the battery while replacing the display so im not sure if its just a faulty display or they damaged something on the board. Thanks in advanced!

I'd like to use my 5k iMac as a secondary monitor and I'd like to connect my iPad pro to the 5k iMac. I would rather not use an app and prefer to use a hard wired solution. This could be achieved using Target Display Mode on older iMacs. Any feedback would be helpful.

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Charging detected but very slow + distorted speakers + one-sided audio

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:38:16 -0700

I recently worked on an iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation and replaced several parts:

Chassis (housing)
Display
All 4 speakers
USB-C charging port

After reassembly, I’m now facing multiple issues:

Charging is detected but extremely slow (battery percentage barely increases)
All speakers are heavily distorted (on all corners)
USB-C audio only works on one side (only one earbud)

The USB-C port is brand new and properly installed.

I double-checked all connections and flex cables, nothing seems out of place.

Has anyone already encountered this kind of issue after a repair like this?

What could be causing it?

I was thinking about something related to power management (PMIC / charging IC or maybe a damaged power line), but I’d like to hear if others have seen similar symptoms.

iPad Pro 10.5": Visually glitching when touching the bezel near the home button?

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:46:04 -0700

Has anyone ever seen this before? Know how it can happen or if there's a solution other than replacing the screen?

Alternatively, if it's just... left this way, will it get worse over time?

The screen works perfectly fine. But if you touch the bezel just about 1" to the right of the home button it glitches like crazy. As soon as you stop touching the bezel it goes back to normal.

I have taken a quick video, but can't upload video here. Some screenshots attached.

It does not do this with any part of the screen nor any other part of the bezel. Only specifically when touching the bezel in this exact space.

To be clear, a small bit of pressure is required. Just physical contact on that spot doesn't do anything, but a small amount of pressure (around the same amount to click the home button) produces these weird results.

First photo is screen working fine. Next photos are just some examples of the crazy chaotic glitching that can happen.
