Phone Display and Backlight Circuit Repair in Kampala
If a phone's screen stays dark even after a new screen is fitted, the fault may be in the display or backlight circuit on the board. We trace and repair it so the screen you paid for works.
Signs of this fault
- Screen black, but faint image visible with a torch (LCD phones)
- New screen fitted but still no picture
- Display flickers or shows no image after a drop or liquid
How we diagnose it
- Test with a known-good screen
- Inspect the display connector under the microscope
- Measure display and backlight voltages
- Replace the faulty component
What usually causes it
Backlight circuit failure
LCD phones need a backlight driver circuit; its components can fail.

Broken pins on the board connector.
Display power faults
Components supplying the display can fail or short.
How we repair it
We replace damaged connectors, filters or driver components on the board, then test the display at all brightness levels.
