My IPad 4 has suddenly making sounds that are loud and staticky, it seems to be related to the charger. I have tried turning it off and also tried switching the plug in and chargers but when I do, there is no change , it does not correct the sound and won't charge with any other USB cable combination. Also it is now charging ridiculously slowly, and when I plug into the iPad, the iPad makes loud staticky noises,Mao that's why I'm thinking that one is definitely affecting the other. I have no idea what to do. I just spent days trying to fix the storage issues I had with it, and ultimately had to return it to its factory settings. There had been no problems until today, when it seemed to not be charging correctly, so I turned it off and came back 45 minutes later and went to watch a movie and discovered these problems. Pls pls help me. I can't afford another ipad
The problem sounds like the charger plug in the ipad. When they get loose connections on the board from being dropped or the cable being pulled, the solder on the connector inside comes loose.
Testimonial: "Thanks for taking the time to help me Brad, I really really appreciate it. I'm guessing there isn't anything I can do to fix it myself, ( but if there is please let me know how) can you advise me on what to do now?I purchased my iPad from Best Buy, I had purchased a 2 year protection plan but I am not sure if it has expired yet, if not it will be expiring soon. Is this something that they can help me with? If not what should I do? And do you have any idea about how expensive it will be? This is my 2nd IPad, the first wasn't even a yr old, when a big grey column showed up in the middle of the screen, I took it to Best Buy, and they told me that it would be cheaper to just buy a new one. I'm really hoping this isn't the case, but since I know nothing about the inner workings of iPads, and you clearly do, how serious is this? I am very frustrated with Apple right now, I actually had a software problem in the last 2 weeks, that I eventually Was able to fix, and now this happens. I can't afford to keep buying devices every 1-2 years. I just want to be prepared and hopefully relieved depending on whether this can be fixed or not. Please let me know what you can, and again thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I just bought a book on the IPAD to help me with my last storage/software problem, but I see nothing about this. Melissa"
Hi Brad,
When I went to my home page to see activity on my question, it shows that you have replied to my last post, but when I go to this answer page, I can't find your last comments about what I should do next, if I can try anything to fix it, or take it anywhere or if it will be less expensive to buy a new iPad, I'm hoping you can tell me where to go to find your reply
It shows that there is new activity from you about replying to my last question, but it only shows a part of your new reply and when I click on the link to the answer page, I cannot find your answeranywhere
Sorry Brad, please disregard my last 3 comments
Check your warranty status because those pins inside that ipad are hard to work on. You may want to see if apple has mail in service for them too.
