Bricked Apple iPad Air ?
Hi EE,
I got this Apple iPad Air (Wi-Fi/Cellular) 16, 32, 64, 128 GB Specs
Identifers: iPad Air (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - ME991LL/A*
When i power on the iPad i get a iTunes logo, but still i am not able to restore to defaults from iTunes. (Tested on 2 macs + 2 Windows PC's) - iTunes is updated.
When i connect to iTunes, it asks me, if i would recover or reset the device! I select reset, because i dont care about the installed stuff.
Then it download the package, verifies and trying to install..
After this i get this : Unknown Error 4013
I just called apple Technical support, and they asked me if i had tried to reboot my MAC, or tried another machine. = DONE.
Apple conclusion :
iPad has bad components inside it. - Hardware check is failing.
Is there anything i can try before i throw it into the thrash can ?
I have tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANy0X_EoD4 , but im not able to get it work.
Hope some experts can help ?! :)

Will take it to a apple store
If they can't make it work, you could always try the Apple Recycling program or sell it for cheap on one of these buyback sites:

Good luck!
