iPad Activation lock

[Mvpatel]

Hey, I recently found a lost Ipad Air and tried to contact the number on the activation lock screen but the number is out of service so I decided to keep the ipad seeing as its been half a year and there has been no contact of the owner trying to get it back. But I am stuck at the activation lock screen and was wondering if there is anyway to get the full use of the ipad.

Thanks

There is no way around the activation lock. You have a pretty paperweight.

I was thinking is there any hardware I can replace, like the memory where the activation lock is stored, probably not but I really dont want a paperweight hahah

There are no user-replaceable parts on the logic board. There's nothing you can do short of having the entire board replaced.
