iPhone 7 Plus Backlight Replacement At iPro Ampang

What is a backlight anyway? The LCD screen on your phone, with all of its rich colors and detail is just a dim slab of nothing without the backlight. Looking at a replacement screen, you’ll see the wide digitizer cable, and the smaller LCD cable carrying the data to color the pixels of the screen.

Backlights illuminate the LCD from the side or back of the display panel, unlike frontlights, which are placed in front of the LCD. … Most LCD screens, however, are built with an internal light source. Such screens consist of several layers. The backlight is usually the first layer from the back.

Our customer came to our shop with his iPhone 7 Plus that has been dropped in water. The phone screen was damaged because the screen backlight was short wired. Our technician inspected the phone and suggested to change the backlight. The backlight can be changed if it is damaged. Our technician took around 2 hours to change the backlight. The customer was so glad because there was no other parts tht were damaged by the water. Changing backlight is more cost freindly compared to changing a whole new screen.
