iPad Screen Repairs
Cracked glass, a screen that shows lines or dead patches, or a touch screen that has stopped responding. We check whether it is just the glass or the whole display, and tell you what is involved before we start.
Battery, Charging and Power Problems
An iPad that dies at 40 percent, takes forever to charge, only charges at a certain angle, or will not turn on at all. Often this is a worn battery or a dirty or damaged charging port, and both can usually be dealt with in-store.
Water Damage and Software Faults
If your iPad has been dropped in a drink, bring it in as soon as you can and switch it off in the meantime. We also look at software problems such as freezing, boot loops, storage full errors and updates that will not finish.
How an iPad Repair Works
Bring your iPad in during opening hours and we will have a look. We diagnose the real fault first, then tell you the price and the options in plain English. You say yes or no. If you say no, you are not pushed into anything. If a repair is not worth the money, we will tell you that too.
iPad Repair Questions
Yes. We repair iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro models in-store at 85 Main Street, Lithgow. Bring it in and we will look at it while you wait for a diagnosis, so you know what is wrong before you decide anything.
Cracked or shattered screens, batteries that drain fast or will not hold a charge, charging ports that have stopped working, water damage, iPads that will not turn on, and software faults such as freezing, boot loops and failed updates.
Sometimes yes and sometimes no, and we will tell you which. If the repair would cost close to what a replacement does, or the iPad is too old to get much more use, we will say so rather than sell you a fix you do not need.
We do not wipe your iPad to repair it unless the fault demands it, and we will tell you first if it does. It is still a good idea to back up to iCloud or a computer before you drop it off, and we are happy to help you set that up.
No. An iPad locked with Activation Lock is protected by Apple, and we cannot and will not bypass it. If it is yours, we can help you recover your Apple ID details. If you bought it second-hand, the previous owner needs to remove it from their account.
No. Kevin spent 8 years at Apple, including AppleCare and the Bondi Apple Store, and now repairs Apple devices here in Lithgow, so there is no long drive or mail-in wait.
