Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Apple iPad 5th Gen 32GB Cellular — For Parts Only

Important: This iPad 5 is sold strictly for parts only. The LCD is cracked and the screen is broken. The device is not functional for normal use. No warranty, no returns, no refunds — final sale. Suitable only for technicians, refurbishers, and parts harvesting.

A salvage source for genuine Apple A9 components: logic board with cellular modem, 9.7-inch Retina display assembly (cracked glass — components beneath may be reusable), 8MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, Lightning connector, Touch ID home button, aluminium housing, and internal cabling. Sold as-is by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001).

What You Can Salvage

  • Apple A9 Logic Board: Includes 1.8GHz dual-core processor, M9 motion coprocessor, 2GB LPDDR4 RAM, and integrated 4G LTE cellular modem with Australian band support.
  • 9.7-inch Retina Display Assembly: 2048×1536 LED-backlit IPS panel. Glass is cracked — backlight, digitiser flex, and internal panel may still be reusable for repair work.
  • Camera Modules: 8MP rear iSight camera (f/2.4) and 1.2MP front FaceTime HD camera — both genuine Apple components.
  • Touch ID Home Button: Fingerprint sensor mechanism (paired to original logic board) suitable for mechanical repair training.
  • Cellular Hardware: Nano-SIM tray, antennas, and 4G LTE radio components compatible with Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone networks.
  • Structural Components: Space Grey aluminium chassis, Lightning port, speakers, microphones, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antennas, and internal flex cables.

Intended Use

This unit is intended for parts recovery and repair work only. Repair technicians can harvest the logic board for component-level microsoldering, recover camera modules for use in other iPad 5 (A1822/A1823) units, or use the cellular hardware for replacement repairs. Refurbishment specialists can use individual components to restore functional iPad 5 devices, avoiding aftermarket parts that compromise quality.

Educators and trainers can use this device for hands-on disassembly practice without risking a working unit. DIY enthusiasts may salvage specific components like the 8MP rear camera, Lightning port assembly, or aluminium housing for personal repair projects.

This device cannot be used as a functional tablet. The screen is broken, and the LCD assembly will require replacement before the unit could be returned to working order — no guarantee of overall functionality is provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this iPad turn on?

No assurance is given. The unit is sold as a parts source only — power-on, boot, and functional behaviour are not tested or guaranteed.

Is the device iCloud or activation locked?

Activation lock status is not verified for parts-only units. Buyers should assume the device may be locked and unsuitable for activation. The components remain valuable for repair purposes regardless of activation state.

Can I return this if I change my mind?

No — this is a final sale. Parts-only units are non-refundable and non-returnable. Please confirm you understand the condition before purchasing.

Is there a warranty?

No warranty applies to this unit. It is sold strictly as-is for parts recovery only.

What's the difference between Parts A and Parts B?

Both have cracked LCDs and broken screens. Parts A has lighter cosmetic wear on the housing; Parts B has heavier external wear, dents, or housing damage. Internal components are equally usable in both grades.

Is shipping included?

Yes — free standard AU shipping is included on this parts-only iPad.
