| + | [title] Port replacement |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The screen is attached by a few cables. I left them alone, and replaced the port while they remained attached. |
| + | [* black] You can pivot the screen to the side and them remove the four screws that attach the USB-C port to the frame, along with the left and right side spring clips on either side of the port. |
| + | [* black] The cable connecting the port to the iPad electronics is under a shield. Remove the 5 screws holding the shield down and keep track of which screw is assigned to each hole on the shield - there are different sizes here. |
| + | [* black] Once the shield is removed, you can pry up the USB-C port's connector. Then peel away the connector from the iPad - it is held down with adhesive. |
| + | [* black] Locate the replacement connector into the frame, then seat the connector to the electronics. Reattach the screws and clips, then stick the cable back down. In my case the adhesive stayed on the iPad so the new port's cable stuck well with the old adhesive. |
