iPad Pro 11-inch 1st Gen repairability

iFixit documents screen, battery and USB-C service for the first 11-inch Pro. A USB-C procedure can keep the display attached rather than fully remove it.

What to check before buying

Replacement parts
Battery, screen and USB-C port each have replacement guides.
Repair documentation
The screen replacement guide covers the original 11-inch Pro display.
USB-C access
The port guide says complete screen removal is unnecessary.

Screen work

The screen replacement guide covers the original 11-inch Pro display. Opening this generation still disturbs the front adhesive, so a screen quote should account for resealing rather than only the glass panel.

Charging port

The separate USB-C guide says the screen can remain connected during the port procedure. This is a different scope from replacing the whole display and can matter when comparing charging-repair quotes.
