If you want to risk a third party repair shop, you better do some serious online research and due dilligence.

You need to ask the third party repair center if they are fully knowledgeable on Apple iPads and are fully qualified and competent in doing logic board level, micro circuitry repairs and micro-soldering.


Your only other option is to pay Apple's out-of-warranty cost of 60% of that iPad Pro's original price, for a replacement iPad Pro of your same exact model.


OR just purchase another new or refurbished iPad Pro.



Sorry & Good Luck to You!

The Apple Store you went to should have offered you an out-of warranty replacement device for 60% of that iPad's original cost.

The sooner you go back to your Apple Store, the sooner you can obtain another working iPad of your same model.

I am not sure how long you have to get a discounted, replacement iPad, for a damaged iPad.

I would think sooner would be better than later.



Again, Sorry & Good Luck to You!

how long I can keep this iPad Pro with me before giving it for replacement?


it is working completely fine when I use it using universal control, using my MacBook.

Just not touch responsive, something very specific to touch has blown off in logic board.


I can still use it as a browsing/watching_lecture-screen while coding in my MacBook Pro.


I can use it even with voice control, so can consume media, etc


but ofc, can't write anything, which is why I bought it in the first place :(
