Prompt response to my email regarding my iPad that had stopped working completely.Mike unfortunately found the device was not able to be repaired even though only four years old. Cost to establish this was minimal and very fair.

He has completed all screen repairs to a high standard in a timely fashion, and at a competitive price. Should have taken them to him in the first place.
Read full reviewIs this your iPad 8 (2020)?
This guide is for the 8th-generation iPad introduced in 2020, with a 10.2-inch display, physical Home button and Lightning connector. Model numbers include A2270, A2428, A2429 or A2430. Check the number in Settings or on the casing and tell us whether it is Wi-Fi or cellular. Similar names, screen sizes and storage capacities do not establish that repair parts are interchangeable.
Repair information
How your repair enquiry works
- Identify the iPad and describe the symptoms, including damage or previous repairs.
- Choose workshop, home visit, collection or postal when requesting a quote. Availability and arrangements are confirmed before proceeding.
- Review the assessment, proposed repair and quote before authorising work.
Describe the Lightning charging fault
Include whether a charger is detected, charging stops when the plug moves, the connector is visibly damaged, or the iPad charges but will not connect to a computer. Mention any suitable cable or adapter already tried and whether the device still turns on. Avoid forcing the plug into position or inserting tools into the connector.
What matters for iPad 8 charging port repair
The iPad 8 has a Lightning connector and a Smart Connector. Explain which connection or accessory is involved, because a keyboard connection and a Lightning charging symptom are different enquiries. If a USB-C power adapter is involved, the end at this tablet is still Lightning. The exact model and any other power symptoms determine the assessment and proposed work.
Connector, battery or another power problem?
Charging problems can involve accessories, the connector, the battery or another power component. We assess the evidence before recommending port work. Liquid exposure, a drop or earlier repair can change the diagnosis and scope. A port replacement is not guaranteed to make an otherwise non-starting iPad work; any further findings are discussed with the quote.
Charging and connection checks
Checks after the agreed repair focus on stable charging and the original connection symptom. If data transfer is also affected, include this before the assessment. Bring the cable or adapter involved where practical so an intermittent fault can be discussed. We confirm the work required, parts availability and likely turnaround before you authorise the repair.
Preparing your enquiry and repair route
Back up accessible data and tell us about important data that is not backed up, previous opening, liquid exposure and existing screen damage. The quote link retains this model and the repair topic. Choose workshop, home visit, collection or postal and check the details before submitting. These are requests subject to assessment and route availability. Wait for confirmation and packing guidance before sending an iPad; a form submission does not confirm an appointment.

Your repair questions
Can the iPad need charging-port repair even if it still charges sometimes?
Yes, an intermittent connection can need assessment. The cable may also be responsible, so describe how the fault occurs and which accessories you have tried.
Is this guide for every 10.2-inch iPad?
No. It is for iPad 8 (2020), including its Wi-Fi and cellular versions subject to identification and parts assessment. Tell us the model number, which may be A2270, A2428, A2429 or A2430; the display size alone is insufficient.
How are price and turnaround confirmed?
We assess the symptoms and condition, check the proposed parts and explain the quote and likely turnaround before work begins. No fixed price, stock availability or same-day completion is promised from the model name alone.
Will I have to select the iPad again?
The quote link carries iPad 8 (2020) and Charging Port into the booking journey. Choose the repair route and review the selected device and fault before submitting.
