Hello and Thank you for any help you can provide.

I have a 9.7-inch iPad Pro bought two years ago and yesterday the screen suddenly just went dark. If i hold the screen up to a desk lamp i can actually see the characters in the background and if i touch the screen i can navigate around to some degree.

Does anyone know what the problem is? is this a backlit display only? if yes, how do i fix?

Any advice is greatly appreciated such as where can i order the replacement parts for a DIY project and/or where i can send in the iPad to have it evaluated and fixed.

So far i have been able to turn it on and can see the keyboard in the background (just barely) in order to attach to WiFi. As i said before, I can only see the screen characters if i hold the iPad up close to a desk lamp.

Any info is appreciated
Thanks for you help
Mark
