You can bypass everything, yes if it's stolen then don't do it, but it's not our place to judge if something is stolen or not. Repair and or refurbishment of a device that belongs to you is a right. That being said. It's been a while since I did any of this, I have since moved on to a different career so haven't touch chromebooks in a while. Still don't be rude @k24a1, if your answer is not valid, then don't post it. NO NEED FOR THAT. @reedjones I do apologize that I don't have a good answer for you. I barely even get on this forum since I don't do repairs anymore. I hope you found a solution and if you do please post it, so that it may help others with the same issue.

its soldered to the motherboard i believe, simple solder job. part is easy to find as well on amazon or ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Micro-USB-Charging-Port-connector-FOR-AMAZON-KINDLE-FIRE-HD-8-SG98EG-TABLET-/222178138001?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l42...

Most likely the LCD cable is not connected fully to the back of the LCD, Remove the LCD and reconnect the LCD Cable and secure it with ESD tape. Should fix this issue.

Press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time for 30sec or until the apple logo appears and release the buttons. If no apple logo appears, then place the ipad on the charger for at least 30 minutes but up to an hour. If the ipad still will not turn on the battery might be bad or the cable your using for charging is bad. Try a different charging cable and charge from your computer or another charging brick.

Not really unless you want to take the device completely apart. The lcd/digitizer assembly (screen) can only be removed properly when everything else (motherboard, battery, etc) is taken out. You can go by the guide on ifixit for the iphone 4, but only do if you have a decent knowledge of electronic teardowsn, the iphone 4 is a bit hard.

The digitizer (glass) is the same, but the lcds are different, so if replacing the lcd, make sure you get the correct one for your model of ipad mini.

Kindle Fire HD Display Assembly (Front Glass and LCD) Replacement

Have you replaced the power cord? Wasn't sure by what you posted. the cables do go bad alot. Now if that doesnt fix it then the ac port or battery might be bad inside the laptop. Easy fixes should be real cheap in a repair depot.

The Switch might be going bad. Unfortunately, unless you have solder experience, replacing the switch would be difficult. Only other thing I could think of is dust/gunk build up around the motor, does the motor feel hot when the device is on setting 1? If YES: then the fan is still on and again best thing I can say it to try and clean around the motor and put some wd-40 around the gears (make sure its unplugged when you do this) and try not to get any of the wd-40 on any of the electrical components. If NO: then the switch is faulty and is turning the fan off when on the 1 setting. it will need to be replaced.

If a reset didnt fix it, my best guess would be to take it to a service center and let them take a look at it. If your tech savvy, installing a new operating system on it might help.
