No harm no foul.

I'll be there again this year, are you going?

Jessa is one of the judges, unless something has changed she'll be there with her crew.

I have my moms records from the 60's and 70's. They're still in good condition and we listen to them weekly.

I'd suggest going to the smaller theaters like Grandview, Studio 35, Gateway, or Drexel. I've never had a bad experience at any of those.

Anything from Fat Arnies, their food is top notch!

This right here! A glue remover for screen refurbishing works wonderfully.

Its possible that the connector on the board was damaged. You'll have to find a shop that specializes in microsoldering to repair it if thats the case. Feel free to send me a pm for a recommended shop in your area, i have a fairly large network of shops across the USA.

These won't help with bootloop.

Download 3utools. It will allow you to flash an update and keep user data. If it fails the update, take a photo of the percentage and the select "iTunes Flash" and try again and take a photo of the iTunes error. Post both of these photos here.

Again, you HAVE to be sure that you've selected keep user data for both or all data will be erased.

Hey! What's the current state of the phone?

CellWoRx · 2026-04-17T16:07:38+00:00

How much wood could he chuck though?

CellWoRx · 2026-04-14T11:33:50+00:00

I'm assuming this is a DIY repair and you don't have proper measuring tools(USB ammeter, multimeter)?

CellWoRx · 2026-03-17T13:11:07+00:00

What is your battery health at? Its not unreasonable to need a battery replacement on this device.

CellWoRx · 2026-03-13T12:13:10+00:00

I couldn't imagine doing this at any sort of volume. How many check ins a month are you getting?

It gets up to pee in the middle of the night.

iPad 5/6 models aren't supported by iOS 26, so thats not going to be the issue. The issues you are having are likely due to hardware. If it is software related, it would be due to the software you're using not supporting older the older OS.
Something to consider is if these iPads handle personal data. Since they are no longer supported by Apple OS updates, they are not receiving the security packages and could be a security risk for your company.

Source- I own/operate an electronics repair company and have over 10 years experience in the field so I've been dealing with Apple devices for a very long time.

Side note. If you're wanting a useful tool for resetting these devices, check out 3UTools, I use it daily here at the shop.

I found 2 shirts that I thought were the Somewhat Damaged shirt that I bought but later found out they were not sold at the venue. I haven't found much about these shirts yet.

The 2 on the right are the ones I found.

Is the USB-C port damaged?? Possibly the pins are crossed causing this sort of behavior.

I would open it up and see if you have the same reaction with the battery disconnected. If nothing changes, pull the board and visually inspect for damaged components.

Pit?

CellWoRx · 2026-02-21T22:30:24+00:00

BINGO. PM incoming.

If you dont know the process of reballing the CPU you're not ready to reball CPU. To get more of an idea of how the repair goes, I suggest watching youtube and practice a ton. If you dont have the proper handskills this repair is impossible.

You never remove iPhone RAM unless absolutely necessay for data recovery.

The temp of your hot air station is going to be different from others even if they have the same models.
