Hello all :D

The title says it all really. I have inherited an iPad where the connection port is buggered therefore meaning it can't be connected to a PC. Is there any way to update the iOS other than USB?

Thanks for any help offered ;)
 
Do you know where it might be worth taking it to? Will Apple stores just be a rip-off? Don't want to spend lots on a potentially lost cause...

May be worth getting a new port fitted then.

Thanks for the suggestion by the way, didn't realise you could just get the port replaced.

The PC registers the device being connected and charges at a very very very slow rate but states USB device has malfunctioned. Tried with macbooks also with no luck...
 
Tried it with a couple of PCs and Macs but still have the same issue that it is not recognised. Separately, the time to charge the thing is about 12-18hrs...
 
Thanks all. Will look into getting the port replaced and report back on progress for anyone else who might encounter a similar issue... :D
 
Thanks, may have to look at doing it myself. Two phonecalls made so far:

iStore - unable to help but suggested taking to to official Apple Store but imagined that the whole unit would need to be replaced rather than individual components - circa £200...

Apple Store - told me I need to book an appointment at the Genius Bar about a week in advance and weekends are notoriously busy. I've heard about this appointment malarkey before - very annoying!
