Hello all.

A couple of months ago I noticed an annoying lighting irregularity on my old Ipad 2 air screen. I was sure it was a hardware problem, but after some days, when the battery drained out, what I usually don't let happen, the screen was back to normal. I used it for months without any problem, but two days ago it started again. If I let the battery drain out, it disappears, but now just to came back some hours later.

Did someone see it before?

Can anybody help me? I am hoping this is not a hardware issue and that I can solve it someway.

Do you have any experience in repairing iPads? It looks like the backlight connector is loose.

No, but the strange thing is that after the battery is fully discharged it comes back to normal. This makes me not sure if it is a hardware problem.
