iPad 5 Not turning on Tristar?

A client has dropped a iPad 5 off in good condition for repair.

The iPad is not turning on.

I’ve hooked the iPad up to my amp tester with .06 draw as the result.

I connected to iTunes to test if the computer see’s the iPad.

The charge port feels extremely loose however this has never been a problem.

I have removed the board testing the battery which was approx 3.72V

I have charged the battery to 3.82V, still not turning on.

I have fitted a known good battery (3.9V) still no luck.

I have reconnected to iTunes to rule out LCD, computer still does not see the device.

The amp meter now goes directly to 0.46A when power button is pressed.

I have just found out it was connect to a in car charger - taken off when client made it home - plugged into normal charging conditions - iPad dead in the morning.

Car charging is very common on this iPad.

Tristar change out?

Thanks

Let the iPad charge with its battery and out of box charger. Wait for 30 minutes. Relax and don’t panic. It will be back to life. Don’t short the SMD’s.
