broken non fixable charging socket

my ipad air had problem with charging socket. made the test and found out that i needed to change charging socket. i changed it once then same. but i think i made a bad job. probably i damaged the charging socket on the motherboard. ipad working fine. but charge finished. i need to find solution for charging. and maybe speakers also, as speakers are on same flex cable.

how can i make direct connection from charging socket to motherboard by putting 2 cables direct to charge. and also for speakers. i dont bother about data transfer. i can use icloud or google for that or wireless.

does anyone knows?

thanks

I think you mean that you tore the pads on the mother board? If yes, there is way around this but not by using jumpers from socket to board. Rather by replacing the socket-cable combination with a new one, soldering to the pads that are still on the board, and making jumpers to compensate for the missing ones. Doable in most cases.

If you add a high resolution picture to your original question, it may help us help you better.
