Follow this guide to remove or replace the power button assembly on an iPad Pro 9.7".
The power button assembly includes one of two microphones, one of two ambient light sensors, the flash, and the internal power button switch for the iPad Pro 9.7". You may need to replace the power button assembly if any of these components stop working.
Note that this guide is for replacing the internal power button cable and switch assembly, not the external power button face.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
