Symptoms

  • Boot looping on the Apple logo.
  • iPad may not show any sign of life at all.
  • Passes tristar tester.

Solution

This device is notorious for having CPU related issues. The logic board flexes and tends to disconnect traces under the CPU causing this issue. Reballing the CPU can sometimes fix the issue, but the CPU also can just fail altogether. Seems to be a very common defect for this model.
