Memory Upgrade · what it looks like
  • Constantly out of space — 'Storage Almost Full' — on a 64GB iPad (common on 64GB Pro) and you want more without buying new.
  • You want to expand a 64GB to 256GB or 512GB by swapping the NAND chip.
  • The iPad is stuck in a boot loop or on the Apple logo, and diagnosis points to a failing NAND.
  • Storage errors, apps crashing on save, or files failing to write — a degrading NAND.
  • You bought a smaller-capacity iPad and want it upgraded.

What we check first
  • Back up everything first (iCloud or a computer) — a NAND swap replaces the storage chip, so existing data doesn't carry over and must be restored.
  • Confirm current and target capacity (e.g. 64GB to 256GB) — it sets the chip and cost.
  • If it's a boot-loop, note whether it followed a failed update — separates a NAND fault from software.
  • Decide whether you really need it — clearing space or a cloud plan is sometimes simpler; we'll give the honest view.
Repair path

Board-level micro-soldering at our Kepong HQ, typically 48–72 hours, and it's intricate precision work — more so on iPad than iPhone because the laminated display must come off first. We remove the existing NAND flash chip from the logic board, fit a higher-capacity one, and re-program it with the iPad's original identity data so iCloud, activation and the serial all keep working — done correctly, the iPad treats the new larger storage as its own. The same process can repair a failed NAND causing a boot loop. Two honest points: first, this replaces the storage chip, so a full backup before the job is essential — the old data doesn't transfer and is restored afterward. Second, it's deep board-level work behind a bonded display, so we're upfront about whether it's worth it for your model versus a cloud-storage plan or trade-up. We confirm the model, target capacity and your backup before starting, and the diagnosis is free.

SEC-08 / SUPPORT · Questions

Before you walk in.

Common questions. For unlisted cases, contact SPR support directly via WhatsApp.

Q.01Will I lose my data when you upgrade the iPad's storage?[+]
└─ The chip swap replaces the storage, so data on the old NAND doesn't carry over — a full backup (iCloud or computer) before the job is essential, and you restore from it afterward. We won't start until we've confirmed you have a working backup.
Q.02Why does an iPad memory upgrade take longer than an iPhone one?[+]
└─ The iPad's display is laminated and bonded to the frame, so it has to be carefully removed and re-sealed around the board-level NAND work, which adds time and risk on top of the micro-soldering itself. That's why it's typically 48–72 hours. We confirm whether it's worth it for your specific model before starting.
Q.03My iPad is stuck on the Apple logo — could a NAND repair fix it?[+]
└─ Possibly. A failing NAND chip is one cause of an iPad stuck on the Apple logo or boot-looping, and repairing or replacing the NAND at board level can bring it back. But boot issues have other causes (software, other board faults), so we diagnose first — sometimes a restore fixes it with no board work. We confirm it's genuinely the NAND before recommending the repair.
Q.04Where can I get ipad memory upgrade · nand capacity expansion near me in KL or Selangor?[+]
└─ SPR has 16 walk-in branches across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor — Kepong, Uptown Damansara, Puchong Kenari, Sri Petaling, Taman Segar, Setapak, Mahkota Cheras, Pandan Indah, Ampang, Mid Valley, IOI City Mall, Sungai Wang, Maluri, Equine Park, Taipan USJ, and Kuchai Lama. Walk into any branch — no appointment needed — or WhatsApp us a photo of your iPad first to confirm parts at the branch nearest you.
Q.05How long does ipad memory upgrade · nand capacity expansion take?[+]
└─ Typically 48–72 hr at any of our 16 branches. Walk in without an appointment, or WhatsApp us your model to confirm stock first.
Q.06Which iPad models are covered?[+]
└─ Every iPad — iPad Pro (all generations, 11 and 12.9 inch), iPad Air 1–5, iPad Mini 1–6, and standard iPad 1–10. M-series models included.
Q.07What does ipad memory upgrade · nand capacity expansion cost in Malaysia?[+]
└─ Cost depends on the iPad model and the parts tier you choose. We don't post fixed prices because every case is different. WhatsApp us a photo of the damage and the model and we send a free quote within minutes. No charge for diagnosis if you walk in.
Q.08Is SPR an Apple Authorised Service Provider?[+]
└─ No — SPR is independent. We're not Apple, not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and we don't claim to be. We've been repairing Apple devices for 17 years across 16 branches in KL and Selangor. If you specifically want Apple-genuine parts and an Apple-issued service record, your only option is Apple's own out-of-warranty service. If you want fast same-day independent repair with a 6-month warranty at independent shop pricing, that's us.
Q.09What warranty do I get?[+]
└─ Every memory upgrade at SPR comes with a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor — bring it to any SPR location for warranty work, not just the branch where the repair was done. Water-damage repairs carry a shorter warranty due to the unpredictable progression of corrosion.
Q.10What kind of replacement parts do you use?[+]
└─ OEM-grade parts as standard — manufactured to the same specifications as the originals. Premium-grade options are available on request for most models. We show you both tiers upfront so you can choose what fits. Apple does not sell parts to repair shops, so no independent shop in Malaysia can offer Apple-genuine parts; anyone claiming so is misleading.
Q.11Do you offer a free diagnosis?[+]
└─ Yes. Free diagnosis on walk-in at every branch. If we cannot repair your device, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no consultation charge. Many fixes (lint cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, software-only) cost nothing if that's all that's needed.

Brought in my iPhone 13 after it took a swim in the pool. Two other shops said replace the phone. SPR Kepong ultrasonic-cleaned the board overnight and it's been working perfectly — that was six months ago.
