finy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapporillo Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finy Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 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.
