We bought my son a refurbished iPad for Christmas. About a month or so after Christmas, he started complaining that it wasn't charging right (taking too long, not holding a charge, etc). We kind of ignored him because it was still working and figured he was just being impatient or not plugging it in all the way. In March, we got tired of hearing him complain about it and checked it ourselves - turns out, he was right. It's not charging correctly at all. We took it to Apple who said the battery was bad - we bought a new battery, but it's still not working correctly so not sure what the next step will be. Very disappointed that his main Christmas gift is pretty much worthless at this point. I know that it would have been out of the 30 day warranty even if we had listened to our son right away, but it's pretty clear that the extensive tests they supposedly do on the refurbished items is actually not that extensive or helpful. We have also ordered a computer and I hope we don't have the same issue with that. I will most likely not order from Blinq again and will caution anyone else who is considering ordering.
