Hi all I have here my ipad 3 wifi which has been working great for years until last month it will not charge any more however it will plug into my computer and work fine and I can move files off it ect. I brought a brand new battery and charger port, to see if that would fix it however it still wont charge. Just wandering as I cant find anything out there on this fault its defiantly the mainboard if anyone has any info or a lead please comment thank you in advance

If you are interested in trying further head over to gsmhosting, there is a wealth of knowledge there - maybe you can make a few jumpers to get it operational.

Always worth a shot if something isn't working and sometimes even if it isn't working right. Fwiw I don't have the proper tools for this level of soldering either.

You will need a stereo microscope to be able to see the very fine connections magnet wire for jumpers and a good soldering iron steady hands.
