iPad 5 Wi-Fi: iPad toont geen Apple logo bij opstarten maar geraakt tot homescreen

Tue, 28 May 2019 12:13:53 -0700

Hallo allemaal!

Vandaag had ik een iPad 5 binnen met een kapotte digitizer en LCD die geen beeld meer gaf. De LCD connector had waterschade dus heb ik een nieuw digitizer geplaatst met nieuw LCD.

Nu echter start de iPad op zonder Apple logo, de backlight gaat aan en hij start gewoon op. Na een 10tal seconden kom ik in het homescreen en kan ik er gewoon met werken.

Update al uitgevoerd
Restore al uitgevoerd

Home button zit er nog niet op omdat er een nieuwe onderweg is.

Aan wat kan dit liggen? Voor de rest doet de iPad perfect normaal.

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: Shows that Pin is incorrect even after entering the correct pin

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:16:47 -0700

I have not turned on this iPad for close to 2 yrs and tried to turn it on after charging. I remember the pin very clearly and have been trying to open it but it won't open with this pin number. I don't have any other apple products and haven't linked this device to anything else because I was only using it for a very specific purpose. And now I want to be able to carry it with me but am unable to unlock it. Please Help

iPad 5: Can I Replace my iPad 5’s LCD with an Air 1/2?

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 03:47:51 -0700

So recently my iPad 5th Gen LCD broke and i’m short of cash. I really need to save money for this repair so i searched online that if it is possible for me to replace the LCD with an iPad Air’s. I found a breakdown from 2017 showing that it is possible but has anyone done it before? Like anyone else in this community? I also want to know if its possible for me to use an iPad Air 2’s LCD instead of a 1’s

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: How do I combine backups?

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 17:36:37 -0700

Hello, my iPad 3 broke a while ago so I bought an iPad 5, but I started installing apps onto it, but then I remembered that I had to get the data from my old iPad to the new one. I was wondering if there was a way to merge the data between the 2 or merge backups? Thanks!

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: iPad 5 Home button no longer clicking after screen repair

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 23:44:59 -0700

I have replaced the screen on an IPad 5, transferred the original home button from old screen to new, however no matter how much I try, I can’t get the button to click properly as it should. The Touch ID still works, the button just doesn’t click, have spent hours on it trying to realign to ensure the position is perfect but not getting anywhere! I’ve done with repair many times with other models and never had an issue so not sure if it’s just something with this model? Anyone have any ideas of what to do next? I noticed there was no black dot on the home button, not sure if there was one originally or not but I added one and that didn’t seem to help.

Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated????

thank you

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: Replacement right antenna cable needed

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:37:51 -0700

Can someone point me to where i can purchase a right antenna cable for my iPad 5th generation WiFi only device? I can easily track down the left cable but no listings for the shorter right cable. I severed the cable when I was replacing the lcd. There are some listings for the GPS cable, but those are not compatible with the WiFi only model. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

I replaced the digitizer on a 5th gen iPad with a new one from ifixit, but now there seems to be a number 2 on the screen that is up near the top right near the battery indicator. it is sideways and very small, and is on each screen in the same spot, even when watching videos.

iPad 5 Wi-Fi: My iPad 5 Wi-Fi will not turn on.

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 15:39:55 -0700

Hello all, Similar to other questions but not quite all. My iPad 5th Gen Wi-Fi was working fine all weekend. Had good battery (say ~%50) and just went blank/turned off without notice. Could not turn on. Could not hard stop nor hard start. Tried the Home+Power restart. No joy. Has not turned on since. Took it to the Apple Store they could not connect to the iPad with their jumper~diagnostic plug in handheld. The store rep very kindly looked at me and said he couldn't get past the adapter plug or battery, in short, it was dead. Now it sits on my counter not working. I'd like to try and fix it if I could. Any ideas are appreciated. I am an electronics technician by trade but this one is too deep for me. I've got micro min repair credentials. If I knew where to start I could probably save it. Help me hive mind fixit people, you're my only hope.
