iPad won't charge

iPads live in bags, and bags are full of fluff.

Clean and test firstBoard-level if neededCharging speed verified Most repairs same day

A surprising share of "won't charge" iPads are fixed by properly cleaning the connector — and if that's your answer, that's what we'll tell you.

Where the port itself has failed, it's soldered to the board and gets replaced under the microscope.

Symptoms

What you'll notice

  • Only charges at a particular cable angle
  • Charges very slowly, or not at all
  • Your computer doesn't recognise the iPad
  • The connector feels loose, or looks full of debris
Why iPads especially

Bags are the enemy

Phones live in pockets, iPads live in bags — and bags are full of fluff, crumbs and grit that packs straight into an upward-facing port. We see far more genuinely dirty connectors on iPads than on anything else.

It's why we always clean and test before quoting a repair. A meaningful share of "won't charge" iPads walk back out the same day without needing anything replaced.

Quick ones

Two questions

Could it just be the cable or the plug?

Often. Try another of each before you make the trip — we'd rather you saved the journey than paid us for nothing.

It charges from the wall but not from a computer.

That points at the data lines in the port rather than the power pins. Specific fault, and a repairable one.

Not charging?

Sometimes a clean is the entire fix — and if that's all it needs, that's all you pay for.
