I am looking to replace this rectangular thing with a white dot and hoping it changes something. Overall, I'm not sure if I am making things better or worse but the iPad went 5V, 0.5A, 2.5W to now 15V, 0.92A, 13.7W when plugged in

Update.

So I purchased a thermal cam and a voltage injector.

I decided to inject 0.5V onto the shorted cap so see what gets hot.

After voltage injection I notice everything in purple that was once shorted is no longer shorted!

Would anyone happen to have these for the iPad Air A2588? Thank you

On another note, does anyone know the type / model the cap is circled in white and labeled shorted? I removed it and lost it but want to replace it...

Hello, glad to be part of this community!

Just removed the shorted cap. Still the same. Additionally, there is still a short where the removed bad used to be. I'm guessing its the 343S00465 IC chip? Also which is the VCC main chip?

Also enjoy your trip to HK! I went earlier this year! was amazing!

Here is a schematic I found online of the A2588. Well.. a picture of it I guess...

So... after I found so many shorted capacitors, I decided rip open the heat shield area and plugged the ipad into a power source and monitor heat. The moment I plugged it into a power source, the 343S00465 chip got EXREMELY HOT very quickly. Additionally, only 1 capacitor near it is shorted. My question is, as shown in the picture, does anyone know if this one bad capacity is in parallel or series? Because if its just that one, perhaps I can just pop it off. Otherwise, I can just replace the 343S00465 IC chip.

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...
