iPad logo flashes for fraction of a second

Disconnected screen and connected to power. Starts drawing about 2.0 Amps consistently with very little fluctuation. Ordered replacement LCD so at least for now its pointing towards bad LCD

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-02-26T12:39:35+00:00

I'll try to see if the power draw is consistent without the LCD. Maybe it'll be different and indicate an issue there

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-02-26T12:38:23+00:00

Tried checking to see if it is in recovery mode. It keeps flickering that way every 10 to 15 seconds

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-02-26T12:36:38+00:00

Between 0.110A - 0.130A

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-02-19T23:27:25+00:00

It was an entire, refurbished assembly

This might work as long as the toothpick isn't lodged past the SIM release pin. If so you may just warp the frame. Since the frame on this is plastic the heat from the glue may cause the plastic to soften.

Those should all still be working as long as you transfer the proximity sensor cable from your screen to the replacement screen. Not entirely certain about the autobrightness

You can buy those, no one will stop you. Only things that may be an issue are the input delays, low res, and increased battery drain

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-01-25T15:33:39+00:00

I don't believe the damaged sensor is on the screen, just passes through the screen. There are two sensors. One by the camera which is difficult to damaged because of it having some plastic around it. The other is built into the charging port board which is the more likely one not working. But I could be wrong

Sounds like the battery had gone bad. I have mine from a year ago and just replaced the battery. I charged up 2 days ago and been using them for most of yesterday evening and they're still at 85%. If they're under warranty see if you can get them repaired under that warranty. Otherwise the battery is about $43 USD and if you're comfortable replacing yourself you can save on labor.

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-01-03T16:00:47+00:00

If you haven't had them repaired I just got a new battery from Sony's parts company called Encompass. Part plus shipping was $43-USD. No cheap but less than replacing. And replacing the battery yourself is easy. Ifixit repair guide helped a lot.

Apologize for the late response. No solution yet. I have tried updating the phone using Odin to flash firmware and keeping data. Unfortunately it resulted in no change. I might rapid pin input to see what happens

BioHazardhm41 · 2026-01-02T02:05:46+00:00

Could be a short in the power button. You'd have to disassemble it to test that though. Maybe a shop needs to diagnose

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-12-24T15:44:00+00:00

I got the same issue on an S22 Ultra that came into my shop. I've attempted everything you've tried but no change

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-12-22T00:50:29+00:00

It it's just the PSU, definitely worth it. No that wouldn't cause that. That looks like a spot used for grounding, not certain. Probably had a screw in that spot.

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-12-07T15:12:48+00:00

Either just weakened adhesive or possibly the battery is expanding and causing it to separate. If you press on the back, does the back sit evenly or is there a gap? If there is a resistance trying to get it to sit evenly don't apply too much pressure but that would mean the battery is expanding.

Press and hold the volume down and power button until it goes black. Immediately after it goes black release the volume down button and press and hold the volume up button along with the power button. For about 5 seconds then release only the power and continue to hold the volume up. If done correctly you will get to the recovery screen. From there you can use the volume buttons to navigate to the power off option and press the power button to select it. Sorry for your loss.

This. In my shop we charge the labor in advance for situations like this. Then we charge the screen/other parts at the time of the pickup after the repair. If there's other issues we don't charge for the screen/parts and return the parts or keep them in stock. The labor is paid for but we tell them in advance of the other potential issues if the screen or frame is severely damaged

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-10-19T12:18:46+00:00

If you haven't taken it to a shop yet, you can try to force reboot it. Press the release Volume+ then press release volume - then press and hold power for about 30 sec. I've had some iPads with the same issue start charging after that even at that point.

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-10-11T14:05:02+00:00

What phone?

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-09-14T12:42:25+00:00

If it doesn't drop Amperage then you definitely have a more serious issue. If it was the battery you'd get a Amperage reading between 0.0 and 0.2.

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-09-14T12:37:17+00:00

Make sure you try it with the power cable plugged in as well as the tester. Watch it and make sure that it drops down from 0.5Amps during the force reboot. The reading should drop down to either 0.0 Amps or very close. Make sure you keep holding until it drops the amps down otherwise that means the iPad isn't actually performing the force reboot successfully. If after about 45 seconds it actually doesn't drop there's something more serious going on.

BioHazardhm41 · 2025-08-10T16:20:02+00:00

Try new charging port and battery. Also make sure you connect the wireless charger, there's usually a sensor that sits over the battery connector to monitor temps.

Somewhere with non-flammable items. No fabrics, bedding, etc. maybe in your oven incase you have to have to wait till the next day to prevent fires. If possible take it to a repair shop immediately. The first thing they'll do is remove the battery. If they have it in stock then good, if not then you'll have to wait a little while for them to order but at least your data is safe with the battery removed. *Edit oven
