problem: ipad mini 4 not charging or booting up. red lines with battery symbol and apple symbol would cycle over and over again and nothing would happen. Ipad was plugged in.
I tried holding the sleep and home buttons for long period and nothing happened and then holding the same buttons and then releasing them over and over again but nothing happened.
I tried restore and update in recovery mode and dfu mode in itunes but neither worked, just errors every time.
I even tried putting the ipad in the freezer for an hour.
(By the way... if you are stuck in itunes connect mode after a failed install or restore, u can download fonelab which will take u out of itune or recovery mode)
I tried different chargers and cords and leaving the ipad plugged in over night.
Nothing worked so i decided i would get some revenge and beat the $@$* out of it. I put the ipad on the floor so i could hit the screen with my heel. just kind of fooling around but a bit annoyed too. So i hit the thing on the screen while it was plugged in and i kid you not... it paused for a moment on the apple logo screen and then booted up.
so, clearly the problem is a hardware issue. I updated the operating system after that which didn't help anything. And now the ipad will turn on and i can use it but it doesnt charge and i have to use it in the same position and not move it too much or it powers off.
Im going to look for solution for it not charging now that it turns on.
The problem is obviously and most likely the charge port or some other hardware issue.
