(1) When screen is on, there’s backlight bleed: I can see the light from 5 LEDs along the edge of the screen. (At first, I thought he’d misaligned the replacement screen.) (2) The screen turns off and won’t come back on until I force restart (Home+Power) (3) Digitizer is unresponsive around the edges. (I have to flip the screen-sometimes several times-to close a tab, type an “A”, use spacebar, caps lock, or Enter.) 1 & 3 were immediately apparent after the screen replacement. 2 started a few days later. I ordered the screen + digitizer pre-assembled (without Home button) from a reliable vendor we’ve bought from before. This is so frustrating, I can barely stand using it. Everything takes 3x longer. My husband was emboldened to try this by multiple successful cellphone screen replacements. Questions: Could (1 and 2) mean he could’ve accidentally burned the backlight filters? If so, are they replaceable, or is there a workaround? Will I be handing over our firstborn to Apple in exchange for repairs? Or, is my iPad bricked? What could be causing 3? Thanks in advance for any advice.
LCD has gone bad, need replacement if you want to fix the 3 noticeable dark light spots on sides of screen.
i doubt its backlight filter issue as you have backlight, was the lcd replaced or just the digitiser
