14:19 I believe you forgot a retangular inductor. But, anyway, I think that´s a fix.

The weirdest thing is as soon as I saw the video title and heard your introduction I knew it was probably going to be a loose inductor. I have never touched an iPad in my life let alone done any diagnostic or repair work on one. I just thought that purely from all the videos of yours I have watched over the years. Thankyou for giving a piece of your wisdom to the world. :)

We had a similar issue last week. It came in for 'No blacklight, Not charging after a screen replacement'. We swapped the usual TriStar, replaced backlight diodes. Power it on, it worked great, but saw a wisp of smoke. And that same upper speaker amplifier and inductor was blown. Had to remove it and dig out the fused board layers. Finally, I couldn't find another iPad that uses that same amp. All we could do is let the customer know.

Great Alex. Five years ago, before moving from Italy to CA, I worked for an Italian company that build special electronic equipments made for weigh food for feed cows. This scales was mounted directly on the big truck. Part of the business was repair broken units. After found and fix electronic problems, the final test was the vibration stress test. This test was performed by mount the repaired equipment on a special metal frame that has a little electrical motor, solid to that frame, that has an out-of-center mass on the shaft. This motor create a strong vibration. If the device under test survived, was ready to ship back

Some cables will charge if I force the cable a certain way, left and down. What's weird is not all charging ports work and some cables do nothing at all. I hope it's just the port on the iPad. Anyway these guys are the only people I would trust with my iPad!

I can remember that a friend of mine got the same issue with an ipad after it falls on the floor at home. the manufacturer had probably changed something in the design of this important element and thus affected a whole series of ipads if they fell down too much.

fast switching with high load or hitting a resonance frequency of the inductor may casue the infamous inductor noises as well as physical damage to inductors. internally as well as externally since the hole pcb may vibrate.

You take it back and fix it again if within your warranty time frame. If you offer 30 days warranty and customer comes back on day 29, then you honor the warranty and you fix it again at no charge. If you can't fix it , then you offer a refund minus repair attempt bench fee.

Too clean of a Repair shop = a Shop not doing a lot of repairs. That should be a warning sign. Now, the shop shouldn't be disgusting, but it shouldn't be spotless. By trade, any decent repair person will have "surplus" stock available for parts. Those things need to be some where, and having it all locked up in a storage 2+ blocks away which is more money flying out the doors on real estate that is doing nothing but sitting is not a wise idea or investment.... Work/live smart.
