Chosen Solution

Hello I was fixing my I pad Air and before fixing screen was normal and I had to wait to fix it to get new parts. then after fixing LCD became very dark…..can see something but icons are too dark to recognize. Did I damage somewhere? where should I fix?

This is most likely a board level issue at this point if you have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the LCD. Sometimes the LCD backlight itself will be the problem but usually this case arises from board damage caused during repair. Usually a filter or resistor knocked off the board. Try the common troubleshooting steps first, such as resetting the ipad and checking all connections, and maybe try a replacement LCD if you have a shop near you that can help. Other than that, it will most likely be board level and a trip to the apple store for replacement. Another option, which I have not personally tried, is to contact the people at http://www.cyberdocllc.com/ for help. They do a lot of board level repair work and can help you out, and will always be cheaper than the apple store. Honestly, the only time that it is worth visiting the Apple store is if you are at a mall and waiting on your wife to finish shopping, it’s a good way to kill a few hours. Other than that, buy online or repair locally!

Very simple repair. Hold the power button down until the “Slide To Power Off” screen shows up. Give it several seconds to shutdown then push the Power button to restart it. You get a bright screen again.

I guess that depends on what the problem is with the iPad. Powering it off and then turning it back on solved my problem with a very dim display after replacing the LED glass cover. When I restarted the iPad, the LED display was as bright as new.

Hi, You short the lcd connector when plug in the main board. 2 diods (called D8228 & D8258 //pmeg 4010bea sod323 -cost app. 0,5$ for each) and/or 2 coils shut be burnt. If not, next two parts are L7080 & L7085. Cost app 0,5$ for each. If You know some about microsoldering - repair is easy and shut cost few $. If not, take of m.board from and go to electronic repair shop. Cost… 15-20$. Cost of repair apple serw. or phone street rep shop- 120$ diagnostics and 150$ repair :) If you get this way- more better is sold as is on ebay and buy brand new.
