The ipads aren't terribly hard to repair as long as the mainboard isn't locked. There's a company in the UK that "claims" to be able to undo the lock through the Mac servers but the whole thing seems pretty shady. I guess it all comes down to the question as to whether it's worth doing or not. Some of the Mac stuff has resale value. Some of it is old and only has scrap value.
My general rule of thumb on the Imac " All in One's " is prior to late 2012 should go to scrap. Late 2012 and on might well be worth repairing. They aren't that hard to work on and have good resale value.
JMO / YMMV
