Hi Dexlight,


We understand the display backlight on your iPhone is not working properly. We're happy to offer some guidance.


We'd recommend trying a force restart on the device to see if that corrects the backlight issue.


Force restart iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or iPhone 12

Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Force restart iPhone


If the backlight is still uneven, you'd want to have the device serviced. You can find available service options for iPhone here: iPhone Repair and Service


We hope this helps. Take care!
