iPad Air 2 spotlight backlight in Screen panel.

[Alan.L]

is this fixable?

logic board's backlight circuit is 100% working with a known good screen but i have a spare screen panel with spotlight backlight problem.
This is a genuine apple display and isnt liquid damage! Anyone know how to fix and it is the PCB board under the LCD screen?

Thanks

ignore it or replace the screen

I bet the flex or connector is damaged. It could be a dead LED in one of the backlight strings.

na, flex and connector is good and like new,, never been open by some1 else.

Bad LED then. They are wired in series, so one dies the whole string goes out. No idea if you can get to them without destroying the LCD.

Take a cracked one and see if you can swap out the backlight.

i do a have cracked one. i just tired and have no idea how to take it apart haha. nothing like the iphone's backlight box..which peel like a banana.

i might just sell it and hope i can get between £40-£50.
