I have a similar issue and it involves mounting an iPad3 to the stand. My 2 stands are not recognized by my iPad. Is there an issue with the new ios 9.3.1? I have tried changing the charging port and still have the problem. If I use a 30 pin to lightning adapter it works but using a newer iPad. But I cannot secure it to the stand. What exactly is going on here? I am very frustrated with this issue and don't know how to resolve it. I have already used the trouble shooting guide with no solution. Please help.

My stand recently broke. I had a customer man-handle my stand and spun it the wrong way and snapped the screw off of the adhesive mount. Now i am left with a vulnerable stand. What should i do? The screw broke off and is now flush with the bottom of the swivel base and i am unable to get it out. Help!

The charging part of my stand broke off while one of my guys was transporting it and now it can’t connect to the stand and the chip reader.... what can I do or can I connect the chip reader another way to the iPad?

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about this, @Kalepo14 😣

You can absolutely still connect your Square Reader for contactless and chip to your iPad - follow these steps to make sure your reader is ready to pair. You'll want to follow Step 3 in order to pair the reader to your iPad without the Square Stand - it's super simple! Please reach out directly if you run into any troubles when pairing; we're happy to walk you through the process.

Did you have to replace your whole stand or did Square repair it for you?

Mine broke off as well, I've had no luck getting it fixed, Spent an hour on the phone with square, and Emailing with no resolution. My stand is only 6 months old. So disappointed. Hopefully you can get your fixed.
