Replacing the USB-c charging port
I have a problem with my iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen.
The iPad suddenly stopped charging, but - if connected to the MacBook - it still exchanges data, it sychronizes (at least id did it, since now the battery is completely out of juice) without charging.
Apple told me that it might be a problem with the usb-c charging port. I receive a couple of quotes the are ridiculous (about $530 dollars). I am starting thinking I can replace the USB -c charging connector by myself. Do you have any advice on that?
thanks everybody!

I just completed this repair on my wife's iPad pro 12.9". Her iPad stopped charging when connected to any one of our chargers or cables, so I figured it was worth trying. You may cringe, but ai had an accurate thermometer and a large pancake griddle. I set the dial so the griddle reached 135 degrees, and set the iPad on it screen up for 10 minutes. The LCD glue got very soft and I was able to carefully break the glue seal with an iFixit metal spudger and some guitar picks. That was the hard part. While working around don't go deeper than 1/8th inch or you can damage cables. I did not remove any of the screen cables and instead replaced the port with them remaining connected. I then tested the iPad, then removed the old adhesive and applied new, tested again, then stuck the LCD back down. We had to retrain face ID, not sure why.
