iPad 8 Wi-Fi: Does anybody know if the logic board from an IPad 9 will fit in my 8?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 11:27:16 -0700

I have an iPad 8 that is iCloud locked to my old account that they randomly deleted, and it is extremely cracked, and it’s o only 32gb and stuck on iOS 26 so you can’t do anything on it and I was wondering if the iPad 9 logic board fits in the 8th gen housing because I think they’re really the same size.

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Charging detected but very slow + distorted speakers + one-sided audio

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:38:16 -0700

I recently worked on an iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation and replaced several parts:

Chassis (housing)
Display
All 4 speakers
USB-C charging port

After reassembly, I’m now facing multiple issues:

Charging is detected but extremely slow (battery percentage barely increases)
All speakers are heavily distorted (on all corners)
USB-C audio only works on one side (only one earbud)

The USB-C port is brand new and properly installed.

I double-checked all connections and flex cables, nothing seems out of place.

Has anyone already encountered this kind of issue after a repair like this?

What could be causing it?

I was thinking about something related to power management (PMIC / charging IC or maybe a damaged power line), but I’d like to hear if others have seen similar symptoms.

Onyx Boox E-reader: Boox Max2 requires heating

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:06:41 -0700

This is not a question -- this is a quick note on my attempt to replace the battery in Boox Max 2 (a 1000 Euro device), Maybe it will help someone out there. My device had a thick layer of hot-melt glue below the rim, gluing the unit shut and hiding screws behind that need to be removed to access the battery. The glue had no function in water-proofing the device, it only appeared to be there to prevent self-repair. If you can't lift the rim with a blade, do not attempt further and use a hair dryer/heat gun to soften the glue or send the unit to Onyx. The battery inside is soldered to the motherboard. One can cut the cables and solder to the cables. The white cable did not need to be connected to a battery protection board to power up the unit. I was able to power my up with a lab power supply set to 3.8V (a this setting, the battery shows at 50% full). The unit draws as much as 1.2A during power up.

I will never buy an e-reader again w/o checking its repairability score. At least not for this amount of money,

P.S. If anyone wants parts from the damaged unit, let me know. The motherboard seems OK. I am in Europe.

Kindle Tablet: Year old kindle, charging light only stays on for a few seconds?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 01:26:38 -0700

Hi everyone, I have the latest kindle (2024 release, the matcha one). It's my first kindle, only had it for a year and it just won't charge. When I plug it in the orange light comes on but only for a few seconds. It's stuck on the low power screen. I've tried forcing a reset but that won't work. It also isn't acknowledged when I plug it into my PC.

Any ideas of how I could go about fixing it please? I'm guessing the battery/battery port is the culprit. I don't seem to be able to find a replacement battery to purchase anywhere in the UK.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5: No power at all

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 21:29:25 -0700

It won't power on at all I've changed the battery and the charging port, I haven' changed the screen as I thought that if it was the battery or charging port then I would either get some sound or vibration, do I have to change the full motherboard?
