Written warranty
iPads use one of three connectors. Lightning on every iPad up to iPad 9. USB-C on every iPad Air from gen 4, Mini from gen 6, every iPad Pro since 2018, and the iPad 10 onwards. Newer iPad Pros add Thunderbolt over USB-C - same physical port, more pins doing more work, and pricier when damaged.
The Smart Connector on Pro and Air models is a separate three-pin contact for keyboard cases. It can fail on its own without the main port being touched. We test all three on every charging-port job. For software-side charging issues, see: why your iPad stopped charging and how to fix it.

Common problems
Common iPad issues we see
The highest-volume tickets at the workshop. Match the symptom to find the typical fix and price.
iPad won't charge at all
Could be port, cable, charger, or charging IC. Free diagnosis isolates which. We don't quote a port until we've confirmed it.
Charger gets hot but iPad doesn't fill
Power negotiation between the iPad and charger is failing. Usually charging IC, sometimes Tristar chip. Board-level repair.
Lint or sand jammed in the port
Dubai-specific. We pick out compacted dust without scratching the contacts. Often this alone fixes it. Free if no parts needed.
Smart Connector keyboard not detected
Magic Keyboard or Folio not recognised. Smart Connector contacts oxidised or damaged. Separate repair from the main port.
USB-C accessories not recognised
Hub, SSD or display works on a Mac but not the iPad Pro. Often a single damaged USB-C pin. Port swap restores Thunderbolt and DisplayPort modes.

iPad Charging Port Repair Dubai FAQ
- Five possible causes: the cable, the charger, the port pins, the charging IC, or the battery. Free diagnosis tells us which. About 60% of charging issues are a cheap cable - we'll never charge for a part you don't need.
- Yes. And a different brick. If the iPad charges with another cable, you saved AED 300. If it doesn't, the port or IC is the issue. Either way, we don't charge for the diagnosis.
- Same physical port, different controller. Thunderbolt 4 on M1 and newer iPad Pros adds 40 Gb/s data and external display support. The replacement port has more pins - that's why it costs more.
- Yes. Dubai's lint and fine sand pack into the port over months. We extract it with non-conductive picks. If that solves it, no charge.
- No. Smart Connector is a separate three-pin contact strip on the side of iPad Pro and Air. It powers keyboards and folios. It can fail on its own - different repair, different price (AED 350).
- Usually the charging IC has lost a fast-charge pin. iPad falls back to 5W trickle charging. Board-level IC repair fixes it. AED 550, 1-2 days.
- iPads don't have MagSafe and most don't support wireless charging. Apple Pencil charges wirelessly via the magnetic side contact - that's separate from the main port and isn't affected.
- Yes. We can power the iPad from the battery side directly to back up to a Mac, even with no working port. Data first, repair second.
