iPad Air 4 Charge Port Repair(Two ways!)✌️

[@Just_Lew]

This video is underrated for sure. No frill, straight to the point. Thx

[@eduardodominguezruiz3493]

Thanks for this video. I used the second way removing completely the flex and disarming all the device. Great video!!!

[@FIXDPHONES]

You're welcome!

[@gherosh]

fine mechanics repair🥸nice job!👍

[@FIXDPHONES]

Thanks 👍

[@ninjarepair]

Great video as always!

[@FIXDPHONES]

I appreciate that

[@CMedia87]

where did you get the new adhesive tape for the logic board?

[@quick-likefox]

That background music though…ouch…lyrical geniuses they are not. Sometimes silence is the better background noise.

[@FIXDPHONES]

I completely agree. I’ve improved since that upload

[@wakkinito]

Hi, on your first method is it ok to leave the flux in the charge port since it’s covered with metal.

[@skygarden]

it's there a way to do this without micro soldering? where do you get the stuff for that kind of soldering? how do you keep it from oozing between tiny (contacts?) that are only 0.2mm apart?

[@HaysonTM2]

So quick question, what happens if that "Delicate flex cable" you were referring to at (9:39) gets torn? I bought an Ipad for parts that has that flex cable ripped off. is it possible to solder a new flew cable in it's place?

[@pgk60]

Very cool.

[@brokerhenry]

One thing I would like to know is if you replaced the glue that held down the screen in the first step. Or if you just reheated the front and then pressed it back down once completed. If you applied glue, what type did you use? Thank you.

[@FIXDPHONES]

Great question. It depends on how successful I was in removing the screen without destroying the adhesive. I wouldn’t use glue to reseal the iPad even if I needed to replace the adhesive. Instead I’d use Tesa tape or 3m tape that mimic the adhesive apple uses to close the iPads. This would mean that I’d prep both surfaces perfectly.

[@brokerhenry]

@@FIXDPHONES Thank you for the response. As I was removing the screen, I mistakenly severed the single connector cable. Damn! I have taped it down to the area of the break, with insulator tape. However, it looks like a strip of metal sandwiched in plastic. I don't know if it will work. Damn!

[@21SavageGang]

Where can I get the black sticker used to cover the soldered area back up? Or what is it called?

[@FIXDPHONES]

Just use Kapton tape

[@charlieisocoolikegrl]

could you please post a link to the replacement part you are using 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@FIXDPHONES]

All parts and tools I use can be found at mobilesentrix.com

[@rondayvooo]

what is that cabled wire he is using for the flux called?

[@abbatra]

Sir service centre said iPad Air 5 port can not be replaced

[@FIXDPHONES]

They are simply wrong. It’s definitely fixable

[@gladysflurry5654]

How much do you charge and where are you located

[@Saywhatyousay1800]

Digging in it to remove charger lol

[@l_love_hamsters]

What do you charge for this type of work?

[@FIXDPHONES]

[@big_red_machine3547]

Wow. So, def not a dyi repair for even a fairly handy guy. I’m so irritated with my port plus it keeps saying that there’s “liquid detected”. That’s false

[@treasuremcmillan4768]

exactly mine did the same except it starts to smell burnt if i charge it now . i have experience soldering so i feel like i COULD do this but idk if i want to 😂

[@big_red_machine3547]

@ No doubt!

[@valeryloor9794]

Can u do it with an IPad Air 5? 😢

[@wakkinito]

Yes, I just replaced mine.

[@qehaha]

At what temperature should hot air be used?

[@abbygailalcaraz7202]

How about in air 5th gen?

[@williamm200]

Should be the same method as the iPad air 4

[@artkillary]

How much would you charge for a repair like this?

[@JustinRoane]

oh wow that port was so mangled hahaha

[@tv175s3]

someone used a lightning chargecable?

[@FIXDPHONES]

That's probably what happened

[@koruki]

Usbc is so fragile. It failed in my iPad too. Never had this issue in my old lightning connector iPads

[@honza3186]

That is soo true. My iPad Air 5 stopped charging because of two (!!!) bent pins inside the port. And that is after 8 months of pretty light useage... Never had that kind of issue with other USB-C devices. I actually recently bought iPhone 14 Pro instead of waiting for the 15 Pro just because of the switch to USB-C on the 15 lineup. Apples USB-C ports are joke.

[@brokerhenry]

Just now at 8:48 you removed a cable after you removed the sticky black foamy thing. You removed the doubled cable so easily. I couldn't do it no matter how I tried. Then I got mad and smashed the iPad. Now, I have to give him my iPad Pro. I had spent so much money buying the CPB mat, a $600 soldering kit, the screen removal clamps, etc. 🤣🤣🤣 I screwed up! 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 The kid's iPad Air 4th generation is now resting in the garbage bin. Damn 🤣🤣

[@TheoWink-wh8st]

Why do I buy apple products 😅
