DONT install the beta, my ipad fried

[Tajt]

Hello, Ipad Pro gen 3. I had the beta for a few days and one morning it was completely dead, cant hard reset or charge or anything, handed it in to a service partner and they gave me a quote for at least 200$ to change battery, or maybe the whole unit.

I dont know what to do, i really think its ****ed that i should pay to try the new beta

Sorry about your iPad, but are you a 100% sure this is indeed beta related?

There are lots of developers and public beta testers running iOS/iPadOS 17 betas right now without this issue.

I never use the beta to avoid issues like this. Because if something breaks, I need to pay for it.

I forgot to add that i had noticed it being buggy when charging it a few times, i had to reboot for it to take charge sometimes and it became hotter than usually the last working day.

And i have read that that has been a bug for alot of people on the beta. I guess its impossible to be 100% really

I had a similar issue, contacted support. they could not help.
Then I took out the sim card - the iPad was back again. Maybe that could help others too.
This was beta 3 iPadOS 17

I've been using the dev betas since around 15 July and it's actually gone very smoothly. ipad pro 11 m1

No issues on 12.9 latest beta. Earlier betas problems with Notes and flickering, all ok now though.

Not beta related. If it was beta related, you could have connected it to a computer/mac and recovered using iTunes/Finder.
