Hi everyone,
My iPad suddenly stopped working and does not turn on and is not detected by a computer. When I plugged it in and measured, it read the following:
5V, 0.5A, 2.5W (both with and without a battery).
I opened it up to look for obvious signs of damage but I can't seem to see anything with my untrained eyes. I took my multimeter, set it to continuity and tested the resistors and diodes for any shorts.
Below, everything circled or boxed in yellow is shorted. Would anyone have any idea what the issue is based on the pictures and how to fix it? I separated the photos into three sections. The first is the entire logic board. The other two are just zoomed in images of the board. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. I also included the unedited photos too. (left image is unedited, right image are the circles to locate the shorts I found)
I would consider myself as a beginner in micro soldering but I've been doing it for about almost 2 years now working on basic stuff like gameboys.
There is no liquid damage and has not been worked by anyone else yet.
Thank you
