    iPad Air A1474 keeps restarting after a couple of minutes.

    Hey everyone.

    I've picked up an iPad air that keeps restarting itself after a couple of minutes; the screen turns blue for a brief second before showing the apple logo and doing the boot process.

    I've reset the settings and have done a factory reset with no luck. Is this a hardware issue?

      I haven't tried a restore on it. I'll try that later tonight when I get the chance.

        Re: iPad Air A1474 keeps restarting after a couple of minutes.

        I did an iTunes restore on it with no luck. I updated to 9.3.5 (prev 9.3.4) to no avail.

        I have it taken apart. I have a donor iPad here that is also taken apart. I tried plugging the logic board into the battery of the donor iPad, but it still crashes after a couple minutes of use.

        The iPad doesn't really charge and crashes while both connected to the charger and while running on its own.

        I'm keeping the iPad on in sleep mode right now to see if it will randomly reset while in sleep mode. So far, it hasn't acted like it has reset (no surprise apple logo on the screen).

        I known in Apple laptops that the battery charging circuit is also tied into the main power rail for the rest of the computer. Is the power architecture in the iPad similar to the Macbooks in that regard? Could this be an issue with the charging/power circuit?

            Re: iPad Air A1474 keeps restarting after a couple of minutes.

            Just to provide some resolution:

            I eventually got frustrated with this board and decided to reassemble the iPad and set it to the side. After it was reassembled, it started working normally. I guess in its half dismantled state, it wasn't reading the battery properly, even though it could still power on and function in some manner.

            So, in conclusion, the iPad is working. Why it's working is a matter that eludes me. Thank you everyone for your input.

            Mods can close this thread.

              If iPad still keeps restarting, try to force restart your iPad and this should work. Or use iTunes to restore your iPad. But it will erase the data. I know an ios repair tool can fix the issue without data loss and quickly.

                Check for lose cóils on the board. Restarting on iPad is always coils that get loose.

                    Apple iPad Pro 3rd Generation 12.9" (A1876) No Power/Charge When Screen Is Connected
                    by grimacelord
                    Hello.

                    Working on an Apple iPad Pro 3rd Generation 12.9" that has a weird issue. When the display is NOT connected, the iPad will charge and power on normally. I know it's on because I can hear notification sounds and the charging notification sound.

                    If I connect a brand new display to the logic board, the iPad will not turn on at all. When I connect the iPad to an 18W wall charger and a USB-C ammeter, I can see that the iPad is attempting to charge, but constantly "resets" after just a moment or two.

                    For example, when I connect the iPad to...

                    iPad Air A1475 Boot loops after replacing battery
                    by trepachka
                    This iPad was working fine except the battery was not holding charge for more than 40 minutes. I replaced it with a new battery. I haven't glued the battery yet, just inserted it into the slot and held it with battery screw.

                    The iPad was powered on with the new battery and I am getting white screen with Apple logo for about 10 seconds, then the screen turns dark. It then cycles like this forever.

                    I know the battery is working because the iPad continues to boot loop without the charger until it depletes to 0% and the message displays I need to plug in the charger.

                    ipad pro 9.7" blew a SMD component while replacing the screen 🤦‍♂️
                    by ipatch
                    i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...

                    iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Gen) screen shuts off after unplugging device
                    by SarcasticOP
                    Greetings,

                    I have an iPad Pro 12.9" 6th gen tablet that had a screen replaced about 10 months ago at a repair shop and last week the screen went blank during use. The device was still on, notifications played sound for example. I have replaced the screen twice, both screens are working until I unplug it, at which point I can see that screen is on but is all black. If I press the power button, the backlight goes off, and when I press it again, the image appears for half a second and then the screen goes back to being black but on. This issue is not present at all when the iPad...
