iPad 8th Gen Microphone Replacement

iPad 8th Gen Microphone Replacement Description
If people on FaceTime say they can't hear you, Siri doesn't respond, or your voice memos and videos have no sound or very muffled sound, the microphone on your iPad 8th Gen may need to be replaced.

Before you buy this repair, check that nothing is covering the small microphone hole and test with a Voice Memo recording. If a Bluetooth headset is connected, turn it off, because the iPad will use that microphone instead.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• People can't hear you on FaceTime or calls
• Siri or dictation doesn't pick up your voice
• Voice memos and videos record no sound or muffled sound

Find Out Which iPad Model You Have

The iPad 8th Gen is also called the iPad (8th generation) or the iPad 10.2-inch (2020). It looks almost the same as several other iPads, so check the model number before you buy a repair. The iPad 8th Gen model numbers are A2270 (Wi-Fi), A2428, A2429 and A2430 (Wi-Fi + Cellular).

Option 1: Check in Settings
If your iPad still turns on and the screen works, open Settings > General > About. Next to Model Name you'll see "iPad (8th generation)". Next to Model Number you'll see a part number such as MYL92LL/A. Tap that line once and it changes to the model number that starts with A, for example A2270.

Option 2: Look on the back of your iPad
If your iPad won't turn on or the screen is too damaged to use, turn it over. Under the word "iPad" on the back there are a few lines of small print. Look for the word "Model" followed by an A and four numbers, for example Model A2270.

Text too small to read?
Open the camera on your smartphone, point it at the small print on the back of your iPad and zoom in. You can also take a photo and zoom in on the picture. Good lighting helps, so try it near a window or a lamp.
