Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it is the charging port and not the cable or battery?
If the iPad mini will not charge with more than one known-good cable and plug, charges only when the lead is held at an angle, or the connector feels loose, the charging port is the likely cause. A worn cable or faulty plug can mimic the same symptoms, which is why we always rule those out first, and a battery that drains fast while still charging normally points to the battery instead. Debris packed into the port, or a fault that appeared after a drop or liquid, also point to the port rather than the cable.
Check current turnaround and reserve a slot on our booking page.
How quickly can you repair the iPad mini charging port?
Most iPad mini charging port repairs are completed the same day when we have the part in stock, often within a couple of hours of dropping in near Liverpool Street Station in London. We inspect and test first, since some charging faults are solved by cleaning the port rather than replacing it, and we confirm the timeframe before starting. Mail-in repairs are turned around as quickly as the post allows once your device reaches us.
Not sure? It is worth booking a quick diagnosis first.
What does the repair involve?
We inspect the charging port first and clean out any debris, since a blocked port is sometimes the whole problem. If the port itself has failed, we replace the charging assembly and then test charging from flat, charging behaviour and connection stability. The repair carries a 12-month warranty covering the part and our workmanship.
See exactly how we work on our how we work page.
What usually causes a charging port to fail?
Charging ports wear over time from repeated plugging and unplugging, and they collect pocket lint and dust that stops the cable seating properly. Drops, liquid exposure and forcing a cable in at an angle can also bend or break the internal pins. We assess the iPad mini port, clean or replace it as needed, and test charging thoroughly before return.

Do I lose my data during a charging port repair?
No. A iPad mini charging port repair is a hardware-only job and does not require us to wipe or reset your device, so your files and settings are untouched. We still suggest keeping a recent backup before any repair as good practice, in case the device has damage beyond the port. The repair work itself does not access your storage.
Any questions before booking? contact us.
What warranty comes with the iPad mini charging port repair?
Every iPad mini charging port repair includes a 12-month warranty covering both the replacement part and our workmanship. If a warranty-covered fault returns within that period, we put it right at no extra cost. The warranty does not cover a worn cable or plug, fresh liquid exposure or new accidental damage, which we always explain clearly.
