Sensors
Accelerometer Sensor with iOS 3.2
Detects iPad positioning, movement, and tilt, switches between portrait and landscape modes, and functions as the tilt controller for applications and games that utilize this hardware component. Use the screen rotation lock switch on the right side of the iPad to lock the screen in portrait or landscape mode. If the display is locked, an indicator appears in the status bar (second graphic).
The lock indicator appears next to the battery indicator, in the top right corner. of the display.
2011-10-27
Screen Rotation Lock with iOS 4.2

Beginning with iOS 4.2, the screen rotation lock is enabled via the screen orientation lock control. Double-click the Home button, then place your finger on one of the icons at the bottom of the screen and swipe to the right. The screen orientation lock, brightness slider, and iPod controls appear.
For more information on enabling rotation lock, refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ HT4085: iPad: Understanding screen rotation lock.
2011-10-27
Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor detects light levels at the current location and adjusts the brightness of the Multi-Touch display. The approximate location of the ambient light sensor is circled and marked in orange:
Troubleshooting Notes: Make sure the ambient light sensor is not being blocked or covered. Screen brightness can be affected by a screen protector, especially if it covers the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor can be defeated using the Settings application. The iBooks application includes a screen brightness slider that overrides the iPad screen brightness (but only when iBooks is running). Note: There is a slight delay of a few seconds before the screen adjusts to ambient light (this is by design, it is not intended to be instantaneous). Isolate applications that might modify the screen brightness on the iPad and if unsure what application might be the cause, restore the iPad to see if it fixes the problem (restoring the iPad will remove all 3rd party applications from the device and reset the unit back to factory default settings).
2011-10-27
Liquid Contact Indicators

To help determine if an iPad has been in contact with liquid, two liquid contact indicators (LCIs) are installed on the iPad at the following locations: At the bottom of the headphone jack In the 30-pin connector port (requires holding the product at a 45 degree angle to view) Use a lighted otoscope to look into the headphone jack and 30-pin connector slot for activated LCIs. They turn red on contact with liquid. Refer to Kbase article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4086 for more information on liquid damage.
Micro-SIM Card
For cellular data, iPad WiFi + 3G uses a micro-SIM card. Changing cellular data carriers for an iPad WiFi + 3G requires changing the mico-SIM card. Note: iPhone SIM cards are not compatible with iPad WiFi + 3G and are physically larger than iPad micro-SIM cards.
Micro-SIM Service Strategy

Micro-SIM cards are replaceable by the cellular carrier. If iPad WiFi + 3G requires a SIM replacement, refer the customer to the carrier.
Micro-SIM Tray
The SIM tray is available as a service part, 922-9553.
2011-10-27
Removing the Micro-SIM Card

When troubleshooting iPad WiFi + 3G connectivity, you may need to remove the micro-SIM card to check for damage or other issues. To remove the card, do the following: 1. Insert the end of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray. 2. Press firmly and push the tool straight in until the tray pops out. (If you dont have a SIM eject tool, you can use the end of a paper clip.) 3. Pull out the SIM tray and remove the micro-SIM card from the tray.

2011-10-27
Restart
A restart forces the device to close all open files and powers off all hardware components. And, a restart safely closes active applications and processes, preserving any data in the process. A restart can quickly resolve a wide range of issues, including: Apps unexpectedly quit. Battery life is shorter than expected. Hardware is not performing as expected. Interface or apps are slow to respond. iTunes does not recognize or sync with the device. Procedure: 1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. 2. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. 3. To turn iPad on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. Note: If you cannot restart the device because it is unresponsive, a reset, is an appropriate troubleshooting step.
2011-10-27
Reset
If the device is unresponsive and restart does not work, the next option is to reset it. IMPORTANT: Perform a reset ONLY if unable to do a restart. Key Points: Reset only when you cant restart the device normally. A reset removes all power for a fraction of a second to power off the device. A reset does not close open files or save data before the device powers off. A reset can potentially cause file or operating system damage, requiring a restore. Procedure: 1. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
2011-10-27
Force Quit an App

This procedure forces an app to quit that is not responding to input or doesnt perform as expected. This is a good first troubleshooting step. Procedure: 1. From the Home screen, double-click the Home button to display recently used apps. 2. Tap and hold the app until a red minus appears. Tap the red minus to quit the app. 3. Tap on the Home screen to continue. Also refer to the following Apple Support articles: TS1702: iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store HT4211: iOS 4: Understanding multitasking
Erase All Content and Settings

Erase is a quick way to get back to factory settings. It will delete all user content and settings, but it does not reinstall iOS like a restore will do. WARNING: This will delete all user data and settings on the device. Procedure: 1. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Also see Apple Support article HT2110: iOS: Understanding Erase All Content and Settings. If Erase All Content and Settings does not resolve an issue, proceed to do a Restore (see next page).
2011-10-27
Restore
A restore completely erases the device and reinstalls a fresh copy of iOS. WARNING: This will delete all user data and settings on the device. Key Points A restore erases all user content, settings, and iOS files, and then reinstalls only iOS. A restore is time-consuming, especially if you have to download the restore package. If iTunes displays an alert with an error code, see Apple Support articles TS3694: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting and TS1275: iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages before continuing. When the restore is complete, test the device before restoring a backup or syncing content. Note: Do not set up as a new device, as this can erase previous backups. Copy or rename the backup folder before proceeding; location of this folder is listed in Apple Support article HT1414: iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software. Procedure: 1. Connect iPad to a computer running the latest version of iTunes. 2. In the left column under Devices, click on the iPad name, then go to the Summary panel and click the Restore button.
Recovery Mode Restore

If iTunes cannot detect the device, or a specific restore error appears, check cable connections. If the issue persists, consider forcing the device into recovery mode. WARNING: This will delete all user data and settings on the device. If you cannot restore a device, even when using recovery mode, service or replacement may be the appropriate option. Key Points Recovery mode loads only the firmware drivers necessary for iTunes to recognize the device. To force recovery mode, power off the device, and then connect it to a USB port on the computer while holding down the Home button. If the device does not power off, try a Reset to power it off. If iTunes displays an alert with an error code, see Apple Support articles TS3694: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting and TS1275: iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages. Note: In certain situations, an device will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If the device is already in recovery mode, attempt to restore using iTunes.
2011-10-27
Procedure: Use the following steps to place a device into recovery mode. If the device is already in recovery mode, start at step 6. 1. Disconnect the USB Cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to the computers USB port. 2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off. If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, perform a Reset: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the buttons. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to the iPad. Continue holding the Home button. 3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.

Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen at left. When this screen appears you can release the Home button: 5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following recovery mode alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore iPad. IIf you dont see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps again. If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, refer to Apple Support articles: TS1591: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows If you decide not to do a restore, you may be able to escape by resetting the device.
2011-10-27
DFU Restore
Device Firmware Update (DFU) Restore allows you to perform a restore when all other attempts to restore the device fail. DFU Restore is only necessary if: the device wont turn on the device wont go into recovery mode the device wont charge WARNING: This will delete all user data and settings on the device. Procedure: Timing is critical--use a watch to time the steps below! 1. Charge the device for at least 5 minutes, then connect to iTunes. If the device is not detected, open iTunes and move to step 2. 2. Press Home + Power (Sleep/Wake) buttons together and hold down for 8 seconds and then release the On/off button. 3. Continue to press the Home button until you see the Recovery Mode message in iTunes, which may take up to 30 seconds. Note: In DFU Mode the devices screen is blank.

Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor detects light levels at the current location and adjusts the brightness of the Multi-Touch display. The approximate location of the ambient light sensor is circled and marked in orange:
Troubleshooting Notes: Make sure the ambient light sensor is not being blocked or covered. Screen brightness can be affected by a screen protector, especially if it covers the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor can be defeated using the Settings application. The iBooks application includes a screen brightness slider that overrides the iPad screen brightness (but only when iBooks is running). Note: There is a slight delay of a few seconds before the screen adjusts to ambient light (this is by design, it is not intended to be instantaneous). Isolate applications that might modify the screen brightness on the iPad and if unsure what application might be the cause, restore the iPad to see if it fixes the problem (restoring the iPad will remove all 3rd party applications from the device and reset the unit back to factory default settings).
