When I saw the iPad 3 and 4 I see that they are very similar, my question is if i can use an ipad 4 logic board with A6X SoC in the ipad 3 with the 30-pin dock connector
Is dit een goede vraag?

While they are similar, the port logic won't support the older interface. Besides, Apple provides an adapter so if it were possible it would be too expensive a task to swap things around.

What about simply doing a direct logic board swap? since the sizes are so simialr, and the screen and camera connectors are exactly the same? could you essentially upgrade to an ipad 4 by simply getting the new logic board and back casing?

The Dock connector is different than the new lightning connector logic so you won't have a way to charge or connect the system.
just to make sure :-)
I would like to test a Ipad 4 Logic board, ...... I can put it in my Ipad 3 to test it, just not charge or connect it to my mac? is this correct? :-)
Cheers!
I want to try this because my screen has gone green......... have never worked on Ipads before, but ALOT of Iphones :-)

Square peg, round hole problem! Review these: Apple iPad 3rd Gen (Wi-Fi Only) & Apple iPad 4th Gen (Wi-Fi Only). For the sake of simplifying I picked the baseline models here. The other factor is if one was a WiFi only and the other was WiFi & cellular. I think you are really pushing it here, so you get 6hrs of run time then what? How about getting the correct parts to start with. ;-}
I am only looking to do this for 5mins sake, to see if my logic board work, they are both WIFI only, if the logic board does work, then i will figure out what parts to get........ I am thinking it might be the battery. But am thinking if I can test the logic board by trying it ín a ipad 3, then i will save some time :-) but am not sure if that was possible :-)
Did you come to a conclusion? I´m also wondering if a simple logicboard swap could work?! I´m thinking about the other way round. I would like to put an iPad 3 logicboard into the iPad 4 casing.
Imho it has nothing to do with the 30 Pin or lightning connector, because the connector is a separated part from the logicboard while it´s just connected with the same "cable" internally. Looking at the pictures of the ipad 3 and 4 teardowns the logicboards are looking quite similar, all connectors on the board are at the same place.
From my point of view it shouldn't be a problem or make a difference if I "connect the logicboard" with a lightning cable or a 30 Pin cable to a PC or Mac. (if you know what I mean)
Maybe I´m just going to test it on my own.
My thoughts exactly hhvh82. I'm actually going to try tonight and see what I come up with. The issue I see is the home button. The iPad 3 home button grounds out on the 2 screws sticking up from the 30 pin connector, the lightning port doesn't have that.
@Chris H did u finally get a practical conclusion ?
