Buy an iPad Air 2 charge port with same day shipping from NYC! store.rossmanngroup.com/index.php/v1-ipad-air-2-dock-flex-black.html
A cool trick i wanted to share with you. Just solder a new charge port on top of old one and cut out the old charge port.
What is the reason that Mac won't do this???? I can't find anyone here willing to switch out my port for me...Any ideas from Toronto where I can find a brilliant woman like this at iPad Rehab that can do this for my iPad air 2???
I've said it once and I'll keep saying it, watching you work is sooooo relaxing... Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for posting these videos. You inspire the next generations of repairers that's for sure? Why? Because you are teaching your audience you don't have to go to electrical engineering school to do this. Thank you and keep up the great work! :)
Another very helpful video............. I have learnt lots from your channel. I am now comfortable replacing soldered charge ports and have recently moved onto more difficult repairs and have successfully diagnosed and replaced Tristar on a few different model iphones. Thanks !
It’s refreshing to see a lady working with electronics like this, and very skilfully too, a pleasure to watch.
Jessa, thank you very much for your work and your how-tosssss. You are the greatest!!!
Thank you! Followed your insructions and achieved a success!!!
Hey Jessa,
just wanted to say I love your tutorials! I do a ton of soldering and can say that it is difficult to teach how to solder well but you have mastered it!
Thank you!
Thank you, always so informative and educational
amazingtutorial yet again. thanks
Thank you Mrs. iPad Rehab very good tutorial, help me to much.
A good technician who knows how to do stuff...KUDOS!
Excellent guide. Flux, flux, flux, and more flux! I actually did one using my Galaxy S10E camera on a stand at 8X magnification. Gotta get a good stereo digital microscope one of these days. Thank you very much!
Love your tutorials
Hi Jessa.Can you tell me please what microscopio do you use??
lookup amscope
your videos are amazing hoping to join one of your sessions in a couple of months cuz i live in Holland so i have to save some money i really love soldering but the way you do it its amazing
Got enough confidence to do mine tomorrow :) thanx
Good video for start the year 2016 repair
Appreciate this video, well done 👍.
Awsome job . I’m getting ready to do the same replacement and just got me a digital microscope my first attempt and hope it goes as good as yours
wow exellent job you are very brave and profesional
Nice handy tip. :) Thanks!
Great video. Thank you so much. I have my first one to do in a day or two. 😜
While fixing a busted up screen and having a speaker problem on an ipad air 2 , it turned out left speaker bracket was snapped off. So I needed this fix to solve it :) Now I just need to order myself a tub of flux and wait for the ribbon to arrive - thank you for the video and good explanation !
Man this channel has come a long way
thanks for the video, i love it. i have a question about ipad air 2.
Kapton tape dispenser! Why didn't I think of that :D
Thank you, I love your videos even if they are just simple ones like this to help confirm I am doing things the right way :)
salut merci pour cette vidéo et bon continuation
Thank You!
good job best of luck
great job here
Great Video !! I just changed the battery in my wife's Air 2. This video has convinced me that my 69 year old eyes aint going to be able to change out the charge port. I'll take the screen off and see if a local repair shop will do the solder job for me.
Hi! what temperature did you use on your soldering station? Nice work
another great video! Jessa, can you shoot me/us a link to your recommended Microscope and Solder Station setup? (I've read what you recommend in the past but can't remember where to find it) cheers!
Awesome - nice tools, technique, and knowledge! What magnification power were you using for the first half? I'm just repairing my ipad mini, so can't justify more than rigging a magnifying lens and light source.
you are a super tech !!!
I was given an iPad Air that was not charging. The previous owner had used an aftermarket Duracell charger, which stretched out the port to the point where it wouldn't make contact anymore, the apple charger fit very loose in the port. I checked out the Duracell charger and it was thicker than an apple one.
I was able to do this job with no microscope, the hardest part is lining it up and not being to check till you put it back together.
Wonderfull video love it
Thanks lot for video is help me lot I do same you do and perfect ✅😇
awesome Jess what amscope would you recommend for soldiering im only using a loop atm thanks
Question: When you placed the replacement dock connector and used your hot tweezers to attach a few of the pads, did you add more soder or did you just let the soder feed through the holes?
Beaut video by skilled and experienced performer! Many thanks! BUT tell me this: A lighting connector has 8 pins so why does the ribbon connector have 2 dozen or so terminals?
Do you have a video about replacing the charge port on an iPad mini 2? And diagnose a not charging problem? It's hard to see into the lightning port, even with both magnifying eyeglasses and a magnifying glass.
Love your videos.. I got a few questions, hoping you could answer. Is this type of flux you're using are conductive to electricity? Does it needs to be cleaned out first before plugging in battery/power charger?
Also, do you have videos on how to repair damaged gold finger connectors? Please advise. Thanks ahead!
good vid!
What kind is camera/microscope do you use? Those circuits are so tiny. Apparently the microscope is a must have for iPhone/iPad repair. Thank you.
Hy, First of all thank you very much for this excellent tutorial.
Now I hope you can help me with this.
You are talking about a problem with iPad air 1 that is coming from the chip and not from the charge port.
It charge when is off but when is on 2% stops charging. Well I have the same problem with my iPad air 2!!
Do you think is also the chip the one is malfunctioning?
One thing I notice is that when I smell the port, it have a burned smell in it, but I can not see any fiscal damage.
So I asume something is burned in the port and that's why does not work properly.
I really hope is the port and not the chip!!!
I was ready to do te repair and change the charging port but after I soo your video and ear that particularly comment.....Now I don't now what I have to do.
I hope not but If I have to repair that chip, I really need a tutorial to follow the steps!!
What do you thing about it? do I give it a try and change the port and see if that help?
I hope you can help me with this!
Thank you very much and keep the good work!!
Hi Jessa, im wanting to take your course soon but have never soldered anything as tiny as you do. I hear you say to use a good hot air station and wanted to know what model I should look for ( I apologize if you've answered this already). I'd like to buy what you'll teach with in your course so ill be familiar with everything. since this is a new area for me (microsoldering) , what is an easy repair that I could practice with to kind of build a little experience? I've done phone and ipad screen repair for around a year and need to expand into other areas of repair. Thanks so much for your videos.
How much temperature in the solder for this one? Hoping and thanking you for the kind answer.
What solder and wick do you use? Also what temp is your iron at? Thanks!
very nice videos I like watching and learning.just a quick question I have a iPad Air 2 and when its on and I plug the charger in it won't charge but if I turn it off and plug the charger in it will power on and charge the battery fully.its very strange I watch videos and they all say its the Tristar chip.
Hi, thanks for your video, when can i locate the chip of charge port? is at the top of screen? Sorry I dont speak a lot of english! Thanks!
Hello, could you please tell me, at wich temperature do you solder ?
thank you
Hi Jessa, what temp to you use for your hot air and soldering irons?
too good to be true
I love to take technology stuff apart and I love more when I can solve any of the issues. Your videos are easy to follow and the information you add in is valuable. You have inspired me and I so much enjoy my 'hobby'. I am here because my ipad air charges only when in DFU. I have combed the internet and found a post which faulted a missing resistor near the near the battery connector. Does the cap of the battery connector come off? Thank you for your great videos.
That is very unlikely in the iPad Air.
Where did you buy the charging connector, Did you make those tiny holes by yourself? It makes it really easy to solder since you can see the pads underneath.
exelent!
you did such a detailed work. well played! but maybe you might wanna to edit your video so the volume can be a bit louder. your skills are amazing tho. no comment on that!
i would love to join your course. sadly im living outside of USA. :(
Hi, just a single question.
Please, could you suggest me how to clean the ipad air LCD as unfortunately there are some fingerprints by accident? Which method and solvents could you use it? I´ll appreciate your answer a lot. Thanks from Spain.
Hello there. Nice job! I bought the charge port prior to view this video(or any)because SOMETIMES when I plug the charger and moving a bit from it, works intermittent ....so I decide to do on my own:WRONG! I didn't realise that need a solder and a MICROSCOPE! Hence, I,m in trouble.Can You help me please?
Nice !!! You master !!!))
Are you able to fix pulled pads on this repair? I had a shop do it in Salt Lake City and they pulled 5 pads
Also I don't see how or what exactly is necessary for the repair. Do I need to take everything out or just the screen and how do I cover the battery?
Hi bravo lady,which flu do you use please let me know with store link or name or picture Thank you
Hi Jessa,
I was doing a 5S U2 replacement and accidentally peel off 1 soldering pad or soldering ball (don't know how to call it) is this possible to fix?
Thanks
Jessa nice videos love you channel learning a lot hoping to attend practical board repair in a few months. I have a issue with a iPad mini 1st gen the digitizer wasn't working had no cracks I had a broken tester digitizer so I changed the digitizer ic and put on the non-responding digitizer in another video I remember you saying that controls the touch after assembling I didn't get video I forgot to unplug battery would that blow the backlight filter? Since I've been watching your channel I know it's not the coil haha. Should I just replace the digitizer entirely or should the one I replaced the ic chip be fine any advice I would greatly appreciate. I'm trying to save for a Hakko station with the tweezers the one I'm working on is a 3 or 4 g and sim is near the filter don't wanna use hot air for fear of melting hope one day to be as good as you keep videos coming I enjoy watching and learning . I went to wild piece of crap didn't learn correct soldering at all and have a stupid microscope from them with like a 2 inch clearance horrible tools from there total waste of money. I ordered a amscope from Internet didn't work every time I looked it had a dime size image and when I backed off eye pieces image was fine I'm trying to get all the tools so after your class I have everything I need.
nice video. i like it. where can i learn it like you
Just curious, what was the liquid used to tin the connectors?
Hi Jessica, great vids can u tell me what flux u use as I use kingbo and it doesn't work like the stuff u use, maybe I got a copy of the original stuff. Keep up the great videos.
Kingbo is terrible. We use NC-559-V2-TF flux which can be purchased here: mailin.repair/amtech-nc-559-v2-30-cc-16160.html It is the best stuff there is. You can also get it with a plunger & needle tip for a small fee.
Is that liquid solder you put on first or is that flux?
hello i am having a problem with a ipad air i bought that would not charge. i wanted to try and see if i could fix it. :(
it wont charge.. or well it does regestrate the charging cable as i plug it in but it does not turn on.
it come up with the battery and the cable power icon on the screen however
i took it apart and it looks like someone had a incident with some coca cola at the charing port. (there where some coke under the screen and a tiny bit inside right at the charging port)
please do you have any idea before i start trying to do the change of the charging port/flex.
great videos så great :D
best regards

What is the function of flux and soldering bastes
It's should the solder be a good quality
And what type of solder do u use .thanx
I rather to change the charging port only, because it's faster and it's easier but if flex be damaged as well i will go to change the full part
So why does adding solder make the old solder melt easier? Thank you.
Got an iPad air that has a pulled tab on it. How can this be resolved? Any videos on that? Can I contact you for a quote? Your website does not work.
I saw there was adhesive around those pads on the battery, do you replace the adhesive after replacing the connection? nice video very descriptive! Do you have a ventilation system going?
I didn't,I just put some tape down on it and on the metal case where it sits just in case. , the glue is not necessary everything is pretty snug in there.
Hello great vids, I ipad air problem charging port, no USB detected, no charge, no itunes detected, which can cause these problems? I hope for your help, thank you very much
Do you have a video showing the replacement of the air power management chip on a ipad air 1 ? If you have a battery picture but it not charging and the battery level stays in the same place is that a power management chip problem ? What does seeing the battery picture but the battery doesn't charge tell you ? I'm in the USA, is there a place you would recommend I could send my ipad to get looked at . Someone you know that will do as good a job as you do . Mu ipad air 1 was working just fine and the battery was holding charge really good and when I did let it get down to 50 % It would charge up just fine till one night I was chrome casting a movie and I fell asleep so it went completely dead . I think its the first time it has ever been that low . So the first time it got in the red it won't charge back up . Is it possible for a battery that seemed to be working and charging like it should all of a sudden once it was drained all the way down not charge back up again ? Should I try a new battery first ?
I did this repair, but my iPad restarts after about 3 mins. seems to take amps charge when on, but not charging when off.
do you think this is a bad connection, or a TriStar bad battery issue?
oh I did pull a pad at the very edge, but I assumed it's a no connect? ground?
cheers
Could you please list all the things (tools, etc) needed for that repair? Thank you
you can click the video description for links to all the tools and equipment we recommend
Hi Jessa, thank you again for all of your videos. I successfully changed the charger port port for ipad mini 1 for a customer, charges at a normal rate via wall charger but display not charging via computer(at the instant when it's plugged to a computer says xx* charged with the battery logo and goes to not charging on the top right notification). I have changed the port twice and has not resolved the issue.
Best Regards,
+Aashish Shrestha UPDATE I was plugging the iPad Mini in to a Windows 10 computer. I just plugged it into a Mac and works just fine......Hmm cave man issues.
hi, someone knows what's the output voltage from the boad to battery?, I have 1.75v is that ok? thanks
ipod air one charge problems are almost never the charge port?? i have one that's not charging... it started to have problems like when i plugged it in, it wouldn't charge so i had to unplug it, turn the cable over and re insert it and it would charge, then it got harder and harder to get to charge until it was almost impossible to make charge... then it went to where when i got it to charge it would take forever to charge it up to 100% like all day long to charge... now it wont charge at all. so, it may not be the port? how do i find out?
nice......
Will the charging port get damaged if you wiggle the charging cable to much
Hello my iPad turns on when its connected to a charger but when it turns fully on it says it's not charging and is going down in % what can be the problem. I tried with more power outlet and cables
wat if the pinouts gone wrong with high resistance means one of the connections lines are not working how can we fix that with jumpers if we dnt hav the schematics ???
What is that soldered rope (or whatever you call it) at 4:47? Someone pls give me some light 🥺
I have a iPad Air 2 and a guy changed the charging ribbon and it didn’t fix it. Is this a chip issue on these?
How much do you all charge for doing what you did in the video ?
Watching your video I managed to replace the charge connector, but another problem arose after the procedure, the speaker sound stopped working. I installed a new connector the result was the same, the speaker did not work. Could you please tell me what could have happened? Thank you very much! Has anyone had this problem and found the solution?
Hi Jessa. Thanks for sharing and the new store looks very nice. Do you sell your t-shirts? Best wishes for 2016.
Yes--you can send a quote request to the website.
Cool
Hi Jessa, can you tell me what you were using to measure the current draw?
+Krynn72 any usb ampmeter. must have tool, cost = $5
FUUUUUUUCK this looks like a pain in the ass!
Thanks for the upload, though. This is really informative.
I did pull a tab - is there anything I can do?
What if there's no physical damage, my daughter dropped it while ur was on the charger n it stopped charging
hi good work. could i ask what kind of flux do you use
and whats is the temperature do you use. on your solder machine.
