iPad won't charge reliably; Lightning connector bent

I’m fairly sure the Lightning connector on my iPad Mini 2 bent when it fell off the bed while charging. I can charge it if I pull up on the cable (toward the screen), but then it stops charging when I let go.

What’s the best way to remedy this? I think if I could get to the connector, I might be able to bend it back into shape, but I don’t know if that’s possible without removing the entire logic board. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this issue?

You will have to replace your charging port. For the meantime if you want to bend it back into shape use a non static tool like a Spudger and when you do that make sure your iPad is off.
