Opinions on a "broken" iPad

So my wife's iPad is having an issue.There is no Apple Care on it because in my life I have not used an extended warranty on any electronics so I passed on it. It is just passed the year factory warranty.
Unfortunately it will only charge on our Mac Book and it will not from the wall with any charger (one that was included or any others). By this way it takes longer to charge and it kind of defeats the purpose of the iPad. Not the end of the world and is a short term solution.
Another problem is right now the Mac Book is having battery issues also. It's either the charger, the battery, or both. It's in the works to be looked at and fixed but not right now.
Took it to the Genius Bar and they couldn't do anything after all the usual restore/reset/reboot/ etc.
So here are my options.
1. Sell the iPad as functioning but with issues. Use that money towards a new one. No idea what they sell for and if it takes a while my wife could be without her iPad.
2. Have a third party fix the connector, which will void the next option should something else arise.
3. Take it into Apple with $250 and walk out with a new one.
In my mind 1 and 3 are the same in the long run. #1 I have to deal with haggling, potetially shipping, and any headaches that may arise, but I could potentially save a little money. #3 skips all the garbage.

Multiple cords with multiple bricks and adapters on three different outlets.
Guy at the Genius Bar used 2 different cords and different bricks also. Cleaned the terminals and only go it to charge on their Mac.
The only suggestion he had was exchange it or have a third party fix it.
It does sound like you've nailed it down to a physical hardware issue on the iPad itself then. If it were me, I think I would go for the out of warranty replacement and get a fully factory refurbished unit so I could get right back up and running again. The factory refurb will come with a 90 day warranty.
If you sell if privately, the charging issue will detract from the price you can get. If you try a place like Gazelle or other online buyer, the fact it is technically "broken" means you will get less than $100 for it (even a new iPad 4, broken, only nets you a little over $100 on Gazelle).

I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up. how do I get previous copy of my back up??

i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday. Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp. If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore. iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.

Combining Data from a Broken iPad with Another iPad.

My fiance replaced her iPad with a broken screen with a brand new one. When we left the Genius Bar, the Genius told her to go home and back it up from iTunes (she synced the old one prior to leaving for the store). I thought she would take care of it, but unfortunately she didn't, and began using it straight away. Now, a month after using it, she's realized that there were some things on the broken iPad that she needed. BUT, now that she's been using the new iPad, she has lots of info on it.
Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow add the data from the old iPad, without losing the new data she's acquired.
Thanks,
michael

Not now. She should have restored from the backup of the old iPad before she started using the new iPad. If she transfers the data from the new iPad into iTunes now she will overwrite the old backup.

Broken ipad 2 screen, 3months old, will Apple uk replace?

Hi Guys, my 6 year old dropped our ipad 2 onto a tiled floor & shattered the screen, the ipad is still working, and i have an appointment at the local Apple genius bar Sunday, i think i may have to pay £246 for the repair, so wondered if any of you good people had any suggestions on how to blag a free repair, i will be taking my son along, and beleive me he will be crying! (we have been practising all week)

Update on broken ipad 2.......................
i know your all dying to know what happened!!!!
popped along to the Apple store on sunday with my son (no he didn't cry ,) i think he found his utopia,Apple store with its array of shiny ipads, ipods and Macs.We was met by one of the staff, he was very helpful, explained the two options, either claim on the house hold insurance & pay the excess or pay Apple £240 to replace the ipad. we went for the second option and agreed to pay Apple.
at that point he explained how sorry he was for the unfortunate accident & gave us a 10% discount (of which i will invest in acting lessons for my child ) A JOKE!!!!
A protective case is now on my shopping list, with new rules in our house hold, If the ipad is to be use by my son he can only use it from the comfort of the non tiled very soft sofa.
and they all lived happily ever after
the end

Can you trade a broken ipad for a new one?

Can you trade in a broken iPad for a new one?

Well, I think my answer was more accurate. The answer is yes rather than no. Also, the fee you mention must only be a possible fee. Given that the original iPad was only launched 14 months ago, odds are good the OP is still under warranty.

Why they can repair ipad2 for free.
I don't think I can repair it for free at Taiwan but the price is really too expensive the new 16G wifi iPad 2 is 15500NT. I change the glass will cost 14000NT.
I have iPhone 4 and I Mac but broken this iPad 2 glass make me so disppoint with Apple

Getting a free repair for damage you caused is extremely rare and is not normal Apple policy. Those two people were just very lucky.
If you crashed your car would you expect the manufacturer to fix it for free?
You should be disappointed in yourself for dropping the iPad, not Apple - it wasn't Apple's fault you did that, so why should they lose money fixing it for free?

Syncing a broken ipad

Is it possible to sync all data from my daughters broken ipad if I cannot enter a passcode or anything on the screen ?

At least you got her photos!
First, have you tried a reset? Hold down the Sleep (top right) and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the Apple logo appears. Does it start that way?
If the ipad is under warranty and Apple cannot fix it, all they will do if you take it to an Apple store is offer a replacement at a cost. I'm not sure what they'll do if you send it in.
If you bought Apple Care +, they will fix it for a small fee.
I am reluctant to recommend this (I've never done this,) and I just googled it but haven't found any of the many threads on this support site, but many, many people have put the ipad on their lap and have given it a firm but gentle smack on the back and it works.
I'm hoping the reset will do it.

Should i be able to replace my broken ipad in jeddha apple store?

hi apple family
i bought an ipad 2 from sydney apple store more than a year ago.it's no warranty since its been more than a year.my ipad screen has broken down after i have been Bangladesh.I have a plan to visit jeddha in the last of this month.should i be able to replace/fixup my ipad in jeddha apple store? looking for an authentic answer.
Best regards
Irfan.

It should charge independetely from the fact that it you are watching videos or not (at least mine does), eventhough it might take longer.
Are you sure the charger is ok? Mine started giving me some problems and it would charge some times and others it didn't. Therefore I thought it was the computer and not the charger (usually they just burn and death is a quick, not a process). Turns out it was some contact thing. I am sure that you established the right connection to the video watching, but maybe you just seat more confortable in the sofa and the contact is lower...?
Also, people at the apple store did not encourage me at all to buy a more powerful charger. They said it is best to use the same power it came with...

Broken iPad Screen

I dropped my iPad 2 and the screen is broken. The touch still works normally but the glass is cracked. Will the apple warranty cover this for free and if not how much would a repair or screen replacement cost?

The warranty doesn't cover accidental damage. An out-of-warranty service costs in the US (from here)

About broken ipad screen

My ipad screen got broken, but theres not much of a problem becouse its only small spot in the corner and im wondering is it necesery to change this glass? can broken glass become wider ?

I have heard of people just sticking on a screen protector and continuing to use it. If you can bear doing that, what can it hurt? If the cracks do grow, you'll have to replace the screen on your own dime, but that's what you'd have to do right now to fix it. So it wouldn't change anything to wait and see what happens.

Broken Ipad 2 screen

Hey guys, I own the ipad 2, and I know I am out of warrenty, but the thing is that my ipad screen is broken. The screen will occasionally flash to what it originally looked like, then it will turn black again. I have tried turning it on and off and resetting it. I know it has something to do with the screen because in one of my fail attempts to turn off the ipad, I accidently took a screenshot and I heard the "snap" sound. I really need some help...and would greatly appreciate it if you guys gave me some advice. Thanks

And what to do if your Ipad Mini with retina display has a broken display?
My iPad Mini with retina display has 32GB and has wifi+cellular.
