Temperature Warning on iPad!
I just started getting a temperature warning on my ipad 3 after 30-60 seconds. It turns on and then goes to the warning screen. it is not hot at all. I have tried rebooting but it didn't help. I suspect it is the temperature sensor.
Where is the sensor? Can I replace it (or disable it by shorting/opening it)?
Thanks
Is this a good question?

Nothing noteworthy has happened to the ipad. It lives on my coffee table and maybe gets a bit of afternoon sun on it. We have had several very hot days over the last few weeks, nothing else out of the ordinary.
I am definitely up to the task and have repaired many of my Apple products in the past.
How do I locate the the appropriate resistors and do you know of a source for the replacement parts?

Thanks for your reply. I did a serial num look-up and it turns out to be an iPad 4, not under warranty. I really have nothing to loose as it is not worth it to spend $100+ to have it fixed.
Where can I download a schematic and any idea where I can get the parts. I dont want to even try to open it if I cant get the parts or schematic.
Thanks

You'll have to figure out many things, such as the schematics. But you can google it. To make sure you have an iPad 4, look at the charging port. If you need an 8-pin cable (like for iPhone 5 or newer), it's an iPad 4. If you need the large non-reversible cable that also charges iPhones 4/4S, then you have an iPad 2 or 3. Let me warn you though regarding this repair, that you can realistically lift the glass/touch-screen hopefully without breaking it. You can also remove the shields from the board, and test the components with a multimeter, though it won't be easy due to their tiny size. However, if you do find the culprits, don't expect to replace them using DYI tools. This kind of a repair requires specialized tools and a very good hand (solid hours of training). You may end up investing more than a $100 or it may end up costing you more in collateral damage.
