This iPad Pro 11in Still Wouldn’t Charge After Port Replacement - CD3215 IC Repair Tutorial

If your iPad is not charging, replacing the charging port may not fix the problem. In this video, I show the complete diagnostic and repair process of an iPad Pro 11-inch 1st Gen (A1980) that would not charge properly via USB C even after the charging port was replaced. Using a USB-C PD meter and Mechanic USB-C tester, we identified abnormal readings and confirmed a fault in the charging circuit. After isolating the short, we traced the issue to the USB-C charging controller IC (CD3215) and TriStar (610A3C). This repair required: • Advanced board-level diagnostics • Short circuit isolation • Safe removal of underfilled ICs • Pad cleaning and preparation • Installation of new charging IC and TriStar • Battery voltage recovery using DC power supply • Final charging verification at 15V USB-C PD Once repaired, the iPad returned to normal fast charging and full functionality. This is the level of board-level repair most shops cannot perform — but it allows full data preservation and avoids replacing the entire device. If your iPad is not charging, we can help.
