Having disassembled the device into separate components, you can make a verdict to the Apple iPad tablet. Pro - maintainability rating 3 out of 10. Note that the maximum score of 10 corresponds to the most easily repairable devices. Thus, the model in question is poorly repairable.

In general, you need to highlight the following points regarding the maintainability of the tablet Pro iPad:

 

  • The battery is not glued to the motherboard, which facilitates its removal and replacement.
  • The Smart Connector port is almost impossible to replace. But the lack of moving parts gives hope that it will not fail.
  • The LCD panel and the outer glass are combined into a single unit. This slightly facilitates the process of opening the tablet.
  • However, this arrangement increases the cost of repair in case of need to repair the display and increases the risk of its damage during the opening process.
  • A large amount of glue keeps almost all the components in their places. This significantly complicates the repair process.
