Chosen Solution
Replacing lightning connector assembly. When I was putting it back together, trying to connect it to the logic board, I damaged some of the pins on the logic board. What now? Can I (or someone) replace the connector? Or do I need a new logic board now?
You can send it off to a board repair specialist like iPad Rehab or STS Telecom to replace that broken connector. Check them out on youtube to see how it’s done!
This connector can be replaced, although it is difficult. You would need to send it to a microsoldering specialist. I would recommend this option rather than replacing the motherboard. This way you can keep all your data on the phone.
