iPad software repair
Stuck on the Apple logo, frozen during an update, or trapped in recovery mode. DFU restore done properly - with data preserved where possible. AED 250, same day.
Mohammed, iPadOS recovery and DFU restore

Quick answer
Most "dead" iPads aren't dead - they're stuck in software: a failed iPadOS 18 update, a corrupted system partition after a forced shutdown, or a recovery-mode loop after low battery during an update. AED 250 covers the full DFU recovery process, including data preservation attempt before any erase. Same day on every iPad from iPad 5 through M4 Pro.
We start with the gentlest method (force restart, then standard recovery) and only escalate to DFU + erase if needed. About 60% of iPads we see this way come back with the original data intact. The rest need a clean iPadOS reinstall - your iCloud backup gets restored automatically afterwards.
Triage and gentle recovery
Force restart first (button combo), then standard recovery mode. About a third of iPads recover here without data loss.
DFU mode + firmware extract
If standard recovery fails, we enter DFU and attempt to extract user data partition before any erase.
Reinstall iPadOS
Latest stable iPadOS installed via Apple's signed firmware. We never use modified IPSWs - security and update path stay intact.
Data restore
If your iCloud backup is recent, we restore from it. If not, we hand back a clean iPad with iPadOS ready to set up. 90-day warranty on the software work.
