Looking for help repairing Mini 3 enough to access data

Hi,

The screen on my ipad mini 3 (A1599) broke several years ago. I should have brought the device somewhere to have it replaced by someone with experience, however, after a series of bad attempts it's now in a spot where I'm wondering if it can be repaired at all.

A friend tried to replace the screen but ended up breaking a pin on the digitizer connector. The system would boot up but there was no way to enter the PIN or use touch ID, the screen was unresponsive.

I then asked another friend who is a EE if they could replace that connector. They attempted but failed, see attached image.

I'm looking for someone who can help with this repair or advise me that there is no chance of getting this system to run long enough to grab some locally stored data from it. The data is worth enough to my wife that I'm willing to pay someone who knows what they're doing to help before I recycle the device.
