I am trying to diagnose whats wrong with my friends ipad but i dont know which one is broken the front panel digitizer or the back lcd panel. When i hit the power or home button i see the backlight come on but thats it. Help me please so i know which one to buy. Its an ipad 2 The front panel has not been cracked or anything nothing look likes it has been cracked just dropped on the floor and the screen wont turn on besides the backlight coming on.
It’s definitely an LCD issue, and not the digitizer. As ben mentioned, try doing the restart as that might clear it up. If not, you will need to remove the digitizer to access the LCD screen, then try reseating the cable that goes from the motherboard to the LCD. If it still doesn’t work, then you need to replace the LCD.
