iPad connector repair

You probably know the feeling: your iPad needs charging, but the cable has to be twisted every which way before anything happens. Is the charging port of your iPad broken, is there dirt in it, or is it the cable? The specialists at ThePhoneLab find out for free and tell you in advance what the repair costs and how long it takes. No cure, no pay. An iPad connector repair starts at €59. Want to check for yourself first what is going on? In this blog you can read what you can try yourself.

The different iPad models

When do you need an iPad connector repair?

Do you recognise any of the points below? Then the connector of your iPad is probably dirty or faulty. Visit one of our stores and our specialists will take a look for free.

• Your iPad no longer charges
• The charger fits loosely or poorly in the charging port of your iPad
• The charging port does not respond to the charger, or only with the cable in a certain position
• Your iPad charges strangely: the percentage rises slowly or even drops while charging
• Your computer no longer recognises your iPad when you connect it with the cable

What connector repair options are there?

At ThePhoneLab we always start with a free diagnosis and, if needed, a professional cleaning. Often the port is not broken, but clogged with dust and lint from your bag. Every time you plug in the cable, you push that dirt further in, until the cable no longer makes good contact.

If the port really is faulty, we replace the connector. For some iPads, such as the newer iPad Pro models, you are then usually done within an hour and a half. On many other iPads, the connector is soldered to the motherboard, which makes replacing it more difficult. As a result, the repair takes longer. We do not carry out this repair on the spot in the store, but centrally at our soldering specialists. Our specialist tells you in advance exactly what the repair costs and when your iPad will be ready.

What does an iPad connector repair cost?

The cost of a new connector differs per iPad model, among other things because of the type of connector and how much work replacing it is. At ThePhoneLab our prices are always fully transparent on the website in advance. Only fair.

Genuine Apple parts or high quality cheaper options

ThePhoneLab is certified by Apple as an Independent Repair Provider. This gives you a choice of parts for many iPad models, tailored to your use and budget.

• Reliable own-brand parts of high quality, carefully selected by ThePhoneLab. An excellent choice if you want to save costs without compromising on reliability.

Genuine parts are only an option for newer models. For older models, Apple does not yet supply parts. For these, we use reliable own-brand parts. Our specialists can tell you which options there are for your iPad.
