AppleFix, iphone/ipad/macbook/imac repair

😱 We were told this iPad was "unfixable." Here's what we found instead...
This iPad Air 4 (A2316/A2325) came into our workshop completely dead — no power, no charging symbol, no Apple logo, just a black screen. A couple of other repair shops had already told the owner it was a dead logic board and not worth fixing. 😔

We don't take that at face value.

Before writing off any board, we run it through a full diagnostic — testing the charging port, charging flex, battery, and charging IC — before we ever confirm it's a true logic board / motherboard fault. Turns out, a lot of "dead" iPads aren't actually dead. They just look that way. 👀

We filmed the entire diagnostic step by step so you can see exactly how it's done — real workshop repair, no fake tricks. Same method works whether your iPad Air 4 won't turn on, won't charge, went dead after an update, or died after sitting unused for months.
