Why iPads & Tablets Stop Working Properly
Tablets are used for years, often for school, work, browsing or streaming — so issues naturally build up. The most common causes include:
1. Touchscreen Not Working Properly
A failing or damaged digitizer can cause:
- Touch not responding
- Ghost touches
- Screen dead zones
- Random screen jumps
Often caused by drops, pressure damage, or internal connector issues.
2. Tablet Not Charging or Charging Slowly
This usually happens due to:
- Faulty charging port
- Loose or damaged connector
- Worn-out battery
- Dirt or debris inside the charging slot
- Power IC (charging circuit) failure
We diagnose these issues in minutes.
3. Tablet or iPad Freezing, Lagging, or Stuck on Logo
Common reasons include:
- Low storage
- Corrupted software
- Faulty updates
- Overheating
- Failing internal memory (NAND/EMMC damage)
We offer full software resets and hardware diagnostics.
4. No Sound / Mic or Speaker Issues
Caused by:
- Water exposure
