How to Solve iPad Pro Screen Backlight Abnormality?

In today's wave of digital office, iPad has quietly become a standard device for office workers with its light, portable and multifunctional features. From real-time recording of daily meetings to document processing when working outside, iPad can easily handle it and provide strong support for the efficient work of office workers.

However, even the most sophisticated electronic devices are bound to encounter unexpected situations. As a professional team focusing on the field of electronic product repair, China Phonefix has come into contact with various equipment failures in its daily work. Today, Phonefix will share with you the iPad Screen failure problem of an iPad Pro. We will deeply analyze the failure phenomenon, explore the causes behind it, and share effective solutions.

This repair case was provided by a senior repair master of the chinafix platform. A customer brought an iPad Pro (10.5 inches). According to his description, the iPad had never suffered any collision and had never been repaired. However, strangely, this iPad would automatically restart after a few minutes of powering on, and even if the customer tried to restore the system, the problem was still not solved. In desperation, the customer decisively sent the iPad to a repairman, hoping that the problem could be identified and resolved.

The repairman took the iPad and, with his rich experience and keen intuition, initially determined that the display backlight was abnormal. Then, he quickly started the repair process. The repairman first placed the iPad on a Professional Repair Workbench, surrounded by various fine repair tools. He carefully used a special pry bar and suction cup to gently apply force along the edge of the iPad, gradually separating the screen from the body. His movements were skillful and cautious, for fear of causing even the slightest damage to other components.

After opening the iPad Back Cover the complex internal circuit structure came into view. The repairman had a sharp eye and carefully checked one by one, and soon found that multiple inductors had fallen off. He gently picked up the tweezers and carefully picked up the fallen inductors, then picked up the special clamps and gently shook the discolored inductors, while using a High-precision Stereo Microscope to concentrate on observing the subtle changes in the inductors. After a careful inspection, the repairman finally determined that these dropped and discolored inductors were the key to causing the iPad screen standby abnormality.

The problem was finally found, and the repairman's tense nerves instantly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, new challenges followed one after another how to repair it? This was not difficult for the experienced man. He frowned and paced in front of the workbench for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons of various repair plans in his mind.

After careful consideration, the repairman had an idea in his mind. He decided to select an old motherboard with some functional problems but the inductors were still intact from the many iPads to be repaired. The reason for this decision is that these inductors match the model on the faulty iPad and are in good condition. They can be "waste-utilized". After precise transplantation operations, it is expected that the faulty iPad will be reborn.

After determining the plan, the repairman did not hesitate at all and quickly devoted himself to the intense repair work. He first focused his attention on the faulty iPad, and used a Professional Screwdriver to carefully unscrew the screws that fixed the motherboard. Each screw was removed accurately and gently, for fear of damaging the motherboard or the surrounding circuits by excessive force. Then, with steady hand operation, he slowly took the motherboard out of the iPad body and placed it on an anti-static workbench. The whole process was done in one go, showing his professionalism.


Then, he found the pre-selected "spare motherboard" from a pile of old motherboards. To ensure that the inductance of this motherboard can be used normally for this repair, he used professional testing equipment to conduct a comprehensive and detailed test of the various performances of the old motherboard. He carefully observed the jumping waveform on the Oscilloscope, repeatedly compared the data, and did not miss any details that might affect the repair effect. After a series of rigorous comparisons and tests, it was finally confirmed that this motherboard fully met the requirements of this repair.

Everything was ready, and the repair master picked up the small and Precise Soldering Station and adjusted the temperature accurately to the appropriate value. Then, he used a special soldering iron tip to carefully approach the inductor on the old motherboard. Under the action of high temperature, the solder gradually melted, and he gently picked it up and successfully removed the inductor from the old motherboard. Then, he immediately installed the removed inductor on the motherboard of the faulty iPad.

During the soldering process, he kept his eyes on the soldering points and operated the soldering iron steadily with both hands to ensure that each soldering point was firm and reliable. When the last inductor was installed, he gently blew on the soldering point to allow the solder to quickly cool and fix. At this point, the inductor transplantation work was successfully completed.


After the inductor transplantation was completed, the maintenance master did not slack off at all and quickly entered the installation stage. He carefully put the motherboard with the inductor installed back into the iPad body, aligned it with the screw holes, picked up the screwdriver, and tightened the screws in the order of the diagonal lines to ensure that the motherboard was firmly installed to avoid new faults caused by looseness. He controlled the force of each screw tightening to ensure the fixing effect and prevent damage to the screw holes or motherboard due to excessive force.

After completing the installation of the motherboard, he began to carefully connect various lines such as the screen cable and battery cable. The docking of each interface was accurate and correct. He gently pressed to ensure that the interface fits tightly to eliminate the hidden danger of poor contact. Then, he carefully buckled the screen onto the body and checked again whether the surrounding gaps were even to ensure that the screen was installed flat.

After the installation was completed, the repairman took a deep breath, turned on the power, and pressed the power button with a nervous and expectant mood. As the screen lit up, the familiar boot screen slowly emerged. His eyes were locked on the screen, paying close attention to each system startup step. He turned on each commonly used function in turn, such as the camera, application, network connection, etc., and carefully checked whether each function was operating normally. 

When he saw that the camera could image clearly, the application opened smoothly, and the network connection was stable, he finally smiled with relief. All functions were used normally, which meant that the repair work was a complete success. He used his professionalism and patience to bring this iPad Pro back to life.
