How do you change the port charger on an iPad?


Recommended Posts

My iPad is on its last legs.

 

It Won’t charge up with a new Apple cable.

 

Does with an old one after 5 minutes of wriggling.

 

Girl in shop says she can change Actual port on iPad for 2000, which sounds kind of cheap.

 

Id do it if it’s gonna work because I don’t want to buy a new laptop for a few months before I settle down, but I might just get now if this charger port change won’t work.

 

Is it really so easy to change?

 

cheers

Check on ifixit.com, they have great guides for stuff like this, including videos and lists with all the tools you'll need. Alternatively, you'll probably find a video on youtube with someone doing it in real-time.

You won’t believe this but I went to town on it with a wooden toothpick and it now works.

 

i already tried sharpening a cotton bud with a knife and putting cotton on the head of it to clean out, but must have been too weak.

 

toothpick removed a little gunk.
