Expert iPad Pro Charging Port Repair (2015, 2016, 2017)
Is your iPad Pro failing to charge or requiring you to wiggle the cable for a connection? At Atlantis, we provide professional iPad Pro charging port repair for the 2015, 2016, and 2017 generations. These models are technically demanding because the charging port is soldered directly to the logic board, requiring specialist micro-soldering rather than a simple plug-in part. For a fixed fee of £99.00, we replace the worn connector and fuse a brand-new Lightning port to your device's motherboard. Please Note: These iPads use fused, glued displays. While our technicians are highly experienced, there is an unavoidable minor risk of display failure during the removal process, which is not covered by the repair cost. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure your iPad repair meets Apple's technical specifications.

Questions and Answers
Is this a micro-soldered repair? Yes. Unlike other iPads, the Pro models from 2015-2017 have ports that must be soldered to the board. This is a complex repair that we perform daily.
What is the risk to my screen? Because the display is glued to the frame, it must be carefully heated and lifted. While our engineers are experts, there is a minor risk of screen failure which is not covered by the repair cost.

Technical Details
The iPad Pro models from this era utilize a high-density 24-pin soldered connector. Replacing this part requires advanced thermal profiles and specialized flux to ensure no damage to the surrounding logic board components. We use leaded-solder for the replacement because it provides more flexibility than factory lead-free solder, making the new port more resistant to the stress of daily usage.
