Not charging — Lightning port debris, bent pins
Microsmith Electronics in Newport completed a charging port repair on a iPad 8 Charger Port Replacement. This is one of the most common repairs we carry out at our Newport workshop, and we stock parts for a wide range of iPad models so most jobs can be turned around the same day.
The customer’s iPad 8 had completely stopped charging. The Lightning cable showed as connected but no charging began, and the port felt loose. On inspection, the port pins were bent and debris was compacted inside.
The port was replaced and tested for a secure fit, fast charging, and data transfer before the device was returned. The repair is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
