Just did an iPad 5 that had had the charge port replaced on it last year. When I was isolating the battery and lifting up on the motherboard, the whole board came up and the charge port stayed stuck to the frame. Turns out I was looking at 18 torn pads, 15 of which needed to be jumpered. 2 attempts and continuity checks on all pads/test points and we're back in business. I'm trying to keep an open mind on "Prior repair", been there, done that so I have to look at it as a revenue stream. Learning everyday ;)
@@VCCBoardRepairs Yes, the first attempt I left out all that were on the same line that had a connection to the board but already but something wasn't right and it failed the dock flex test. So, "out of an abundance of caution" (LOL) I started all over and did them all except for GND and NC's.
I am sooo so glad you made this video. I literally just destroyed the logic board in my ipad's charging port by ripping the charge port off. It literally took off every pad and I have been searching for the fix. You saved me! I was trying to save a couple hundred dollars but nearly had to buy a new ipad. Phew! that was a close one.
Really informative, ive never soldered ever, but need very important info off an old iPad Air A1474, I managed to remove charging port with just 2 ripped pads, one is grounded, so just one which i need to do a solder lug, have to say im very nervous approaching this as I have zero experience, but your information has been so extremely helpful and I have a much better understanding of all this.
Jesse, not trying to give you a hard time, but just wanted to say that "redundant pads/traces" in the charging flex are for splitting up the charging current coming from the charger. By not replacing all/most of the pads you are risking all the current traveling through a path that is insufficient for that much current. I understand why you wouldn't want to replace 5 pads if 2 or 3 are connected, but I think it can be risky and could result in later warranty work.
What tools are you using to analyze the lightning cable connections as well as your current, voltage, wattage from your multimeter? BTW I love your content. I am just a hobbyist with 2 kids so i've made alot of repairs to ipads and switches over the years.
Hello Jesse! Can I make you a question about an iPad? I have an iPad 5 with that same problem. I replaced the charging port but after that the iPad show me red screen. Then I try took out the NAND to replace it, but I did fcked up and ripped some pads that have no other connection on the board (are bellow cpu) 😂 After that, I try to get another iPad 5 board as a donor, so I try to pull the information of the NAND and put it in the donor board. But the iPad doesn't activate. This is not possible, right? The CPU and NAND information are somehow connected, right? There is a way to bring that specific iPad serial number to life?
Impressive job. I just join your subscription and you did amazing job. I’m impressive by your good work… I’m Richard from Alaska. Nice meet ya. Now I start watch all your video from now on. :)

Oh wow, that's a lot of pads to repair 😅

Glad to hear this video helped!
Do you offer online courses ??
I just love how you explain stuff in details..
Yes I do! You can learn more about it here: vccboardrepairs.com/profixerr-course

Thanks for the video Jesse. Sometimes with the UV coating I will use an extremely small gauge of needle and apply it to the board.
That works too!
I use a watch oiler. It is very fine tip and works great.
Personally I like a curved headed eyeliner brush. Super fine, curved works great.

Solid point!
FWIW, I do offer a lifetime warranty & never had a warranty device come in because of this.
You are amazing 🙌🙌
Thank you! Appreciate the support!

What is the name of the software you use for the Schematics?
Polazired light was very good.
I really like it!

Have you looked into IPC certifications?
Nope. What for?

I appreciate that. Thank you
Yeah :)
Is it possible to repair if all the black coating is gone and the copper PCB is exposed?
I don't see an affiliate link for the tristars. Where do you get yours? I need a 1614A1. Or I can buy from you. Thank You sir!
Check mobilesentrix.com
Where do you get the repair pad tin
search for Solder Lug
What software was that for the schematics?
ZXW. It's a board view software, not schematics
Luxury 👍 Hi from Moscow 🙌
Privet!
How hot do you have your iron? Having a huge issue with the jumper pads just sticking to my iron tip. TIA
it's always set to 380C for everything. A lot of is also technique
How much does something like this cost?

I replied already. Thank you
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello good evening is dark here
I want to learn more about iPad from you pls can you teach me
Pls reply if you see this
Morning!
Is it morning over there
Am I.B
