The iPad (9th gen) came out in 2021, with a 10.2 inch Retina LCD display and the A13 Bionic chip. It charges over Lightning and it unlocks with Touch ID in the home button. There is 8MP wide on the back and an aluminium frame. A home button, a Lightning port and rounded sides. On this generation the glass and the display are separate layers, which sometimes makes a cracked front the cheaper repair. Ireland gets the A2602.

Start with the symptom
What is your iPad (9th gen) doing?
Most people know what they are seeing before they know what it is called. Pick the closest one and it will take you to the right repair and price.
My screen is cracked
The glass is broken. The picture may still be perfect.
My screen is black or blank
The phone still rings or vibrates, but you cannot see anything.
The touch is not working
It ignores taps, or taps in the wrong place, or taps by itself.
The battery drains too fast
Flat by the afternoon, or it dies in the cold.
It will not charge
Nothing happens, or the cable has to be held at an angle.
The camera is not working
Blurry, black, shaking, or the app will not open.
It got wet
Rain, a sink, a spill. The sooner we see it the better.
It will not turn on
No display, no sound, no response to the charger.
I am not sure what is wrong
More than one symptom, or it comes and goes. Start here.

Before you book
Is this the right iPad?
The devices in this range look similar and do not share parts. Screens, batteries and cameras differ between them, and so do the prices. Open Settings, then General, then About, and read the model number.

A2602 is the Wi-Fi model. The cellular version carries a different number and its screen and battery are the same part. Model numbers are the ones printed in the device's own settings.
The device
The iPad (9th gen), and what it means on the bench.
Every line here changes something about the repair, the price or how long it takes. The specifications that change nothing are in the strip underneath.
- Shipped with
- iPadOS 15
Shipped with iOS 18. Software faults and hardware faults look alike from the outside, so a phone that is slow or crashing is worth a diagnostic before any part is ordered.
- Display
- 10.2 inch Retina LCD
The panel is bonded glass and OLED in one piece, so the glass and the picture are replaced together. That is why there is no cheaper glass-only repair on this phone.
- Charging
- Lightning
USB-C. A port that has stopped charging is very often compacted pocket lint, so we clean and test before quoting a replacement.
- Unlock
- Touch ID in the home button
Face ID lives on the display assembly and has to be moved across during a screen repair. Done carelessly it is lost for good.
- Storage
- 64GB, 256GB
Storage is soldered to the board. It cannot be upgraded, and it is why data recovery from a dead board is a specialist job rather than swapping a part.

iPad (9th gen) repair questions.

Repairs without a listed price are quoted after a free diagnostic.
Most screen and battery repairs are done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait. Anything needing a part we do not have on the shelf, or a diagnostic first, takes longer and we tell you at the counter before you commit.
No. Walk in to 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3 during opening hours. Booking online takes about two minutes and means we know you are coming.
Open Settings and read the model number. The iPad (9th gen) sold in Ireland is A2602. Without turning the phone on, a home button, a Lightning port and rounded sides. On this generation the glass and the display are separate layers, which sometimes makes a cracked front the cheaper repair.

You pay nothing. The diagnostic is free and there is no fee if the repair does not happen. If we find something beyond the original fault, we stop and tell you the cause and the price before doing any further work.
Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. We tell you which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and either way the work carries the same 360-day warranty.
Yes. These are hardware repairs and we do not go into your photos, messages or accounts. We may need your passcode to test the phone afterwards.
