This machine is her lifeline to her great-grandkids. I have set up a Chromebook so at least she can browse, email, and zoom. But she is having difficulty mousing around.

I'm looking for some suggestions /advice on alternatives to purchasing a replacement.

Does anyone have experience repairing their iPad Pro?
I think you’re going to find that the repair cost won’t be justified. Not to mention, most repairs will have a very limited warranty period.

If she needs cellular, as you indicated, why is having working WiFi an issue? Will it not connect through cellular either?
