How to find the cause of an iPad malfunction

Causes of iPad failure

Your iPad may keep rebooting due to CPU failure. It is a serious problem that can be solved by removing and replacing the processor. The other cause can be connected to the power amplifier malfunctions. This problem also requires the replacement of this part.

To find out the main reason that caused the constant restart of the iPad, you will need special tools and diagnostic equipment. Using professional equipment, you can solve the following problems in the device:

  • Random shutdowns;
  • Long response and slow execution of commands.

Besides, your Apple device could be just infected with malware. If this is the cause, you should delete such programs immediately. To avoid future infections, you should install an antivirus program and periodically update the iPad software. As a precaution, aim not to download programs from unverified resources.

How to fix a broken iPad at home

If firmware problems cause the iPad to reboot, try performing a reset or updating the software. In the first case, you need to simultaneously press the "Home" and "Power" buttons and hold them for a few seconds or update the settings through the menu.

Also consider these causes of the iPad rebooting:

  • Software bugs;
  • Battery problems;
  • Central processing unit malfunctions.

Critical software failures may occur if the device isn't reflashed properly or if it is forced to stop updating.

If the device reboots while charging, try changing the battery or cable. Sometimes rebooting your iPad is enough to make the software malfunction disappear.

The rebooting problem can also be connected to the faulty battery. As a rule, this iPad part is not repairable, so you need to replace it. Think about replacing it in the following situations:

  • Reduced battery capacity;
  • Rapid discharge;
  • Incorrect display of the charge level.
