iPad 9.7 (5th Gen) Repair

Professional iPad 9.7″ 5th Gen repair to Apple standards

Need a repair for your iPad 9.7 5th Gen, models A1822, A1823? “Fixas” is a specialised Apple device service in Vilnius. Here we check your tablet with diagnostic equipment and, if needed, carry out microsoldering work. Apple introduced this model in 2017. People still choose it for its Retina display, convenient size and stable performance. But even a well-maintained iPad eventually runs into battery, screen, charging port or button faults.

Our technicians work with Apple tablets every day and know this iPad generation well. We safely separate the glass, check the LCD panel, repair motherboard circuits and preserve “Touch ID” functionality.

iPad 9.7″ 5th Gen design and repair

Before the repair we assess this model’s construction. This helps us choose the right parts, avoid unnecessary work and give you a clear repair price.

• Display: 9.7-inch Retina display, 2048 × 1536 resolution, 264 ppi, IPS technology. Unlike the “iPad Air 2” or newer “Pro” models, this iPad does not have a laminated display. The protective glass, also called the digitizer, and the LCD matrix are separate parts. Because of this, in many cases we replace the glass alone, and the original LCD matrix stays in the device.

• Processor: Apple A9 chip with 64-bit architecture and an integrated M9 motion coprocessor. For everyday tasks, studies, video viewing and simple work, this model still serves reliably.

• Power: 32.9 Wh, 8827 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Apple states up to 10 hours of active internet use, video viewing or music listening if the battery is in good condition.

• Identification: Model A1822 denotes the Wi Fi version. Model A1823 denotes the Wi Fi and Cellular version with SIM card support. You will find the model number on the back cover or in the iPad settings.

Main repair services

1. Screen glass or LCD matrix replacement

Since this model does not have a laminated display unit, the repair often costs less than for newer iPad models. Before the work we check touch, image, colours, backlight and “Home” button operation.

• When do we replace the glass alone? If the glass is shattered but the image is clear, with no coloured lines, black stains or bleeding image, we replace the top glass with the sensor. Touch sometimes works and sometimes does not; we check this during diagnostics.

• When is the full module needed? If the image bleeds, flickers or has dark patches or stripes, or the backlight fails, we replace the LCD panel. These signs indicate internal screen damage.

• Important: After glass replacement the image quality stays the same if we keep your original Apple LCD matrix. We work so that no dust gets between the glass and the screen, and “Touch ID” and the “Home” button work as usual.

2. Battery, 8827 mAh, diagnostics and replacement

The iPad 9.7 5th Gen battery has a long runtime, but after 500 to 600 charge cycles its capacity often falls below 80 %. The tablet then runs for less time, charges more slowly or shuts down while it still shows charge remaining.

• Signs: The device suddenly shuts down at 20 to 30 % charge, heats up, discharges quickly or the battery starts to swell. A swelling battery is dangerous. It presses on the screen from the inside, creates a risk of the glass cracking and damages the housing.

• Our process: We fit high-quality OEM-type Li-Polymer cells. After replacement, we calibrate the battery and check that iPadOS reports the charge correctly, charging is stable and the tablet does not overheat.

3. “Lightning” port and main board repair

If the iPad does not charge, charges only when the cable is moved, or the computer does not recognise it, a common cause is a damaged charging port. In this model the port is soldered to the main board, so the repair requires microscopic soldering equipment. We repair individual components and can often avoid the cost of replacing the whole board.

4. Button and Home sensor repair

The “Home” button, volume buttons and power button wear out with use. Liquids, dust or impact also disrupt their operation. We replace the volume, power and home button flex cables, check the press response and aim to keep the usual factory feel. If your iPad has “Touch ID”, we handle this part with particular care, because the original sensor is paired with the main board.
