Review on πŸ”Œ High-Quality Charging Port Connector Dock Flex Cable Replacement for iPad Air (Black) - Ensures Optimal Charging Performance by Justin Hollins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product but leave this solution to the professionals.

Great product. It appears to be well built and finished. Worked great for my repair. But Apple tries to make its products easier to replace than repair. Once upon a time I was constantly fixing broken screens, cameras, and home buttons. It's not just about hacking the case and exchanging the solution. To get to the charging port cable, you have to disassemble everything except the battery. That means breaking open the case, removing about 50 tiny screws, and detaching the cable that's glued to the case. Remove many components, loosen tiny ribbon wire clips and finally when you get to the right place you will have to micro-weld to remove and replace this part. It should fit perfectly, and there are dozens of points. It's not easy, when you're done you'll curse, you'll probably need to digest a few times and you might not even get there, it's very fragile. If you try to fix it, good luck. It will work, but it won't be fun.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
