Update‎:

Thanks for being patient guys. Was a bad mix of being on the go and this happening. I’m told my buddy is fixed, and i’ll pick it up tomorrow. I’ll spam you guys with pictures very soon.

You may noticed I haven’t posted much.

I’m working on my trusty Ipad pro, but the charger port is now completely burned and it gave up the ghost. The worst part is I’m out of town for a couple of more days so my hands are tied.

Don’t worry though, I’ve backed up all my files. I’ll have to get a new one but would prefer if I could save my pal here. Does anyone know if it’s possible for repair shops to fix the port? The apple stores themselves ofc just want me to buy a new one.

Tech sucks, good to hear y’all’re doing fine aside from that — hyped to see what’s next from you, love your work and keep being awesome!! <3

If it's a usb c ipad I think the usb port was serviceable but it depends on how damaged the port and its internal connectors are!

Kinda, the place I work for is able to do them but only at our national repair center because it require micro soldering

Depends on how badly the port is scorched. Those are typically soldered onto their boards so any tech shop would need to either desolder it and replace it with a new port, which can be tricky and costly, or replace the motherboard in it with a new one. That may also be costly.

It gives me a tear hearing good tech fulfilled their service and end up giving up that ghost till the end.

Well you say burnt. But most USB C or Lightning ports need a good contact cleaning. Which can be done with tweezers and a light to pull out gunk and shit. That’s all. Because even „burnt” you can shove 60Volts in those connectors. Note I do this thing with custom PCBs, don’t shove 60V in an iPad.

in my experience this is a planned obsolesence thing, same thing happened to the last apple device I had.

I’ve used my ipad pro 2017 since i started my patreon. But its an old model, but goes to show even older models work just fine. I know right now ipad air is all the rage
