iPad Air 2 - screen backlighting with defect

Hello, my iPad Air 2 suddenly showed a defect; it looks like in the screen border every other light is off and darker bands alterante with lighter ones. Is it possible to repair at a cheap price?

Thank you

Not by Apple.

It may not be worth any cost to fix anywhere at this period in time.

Your 2014 iPad Air 2 model is nearing 7-years old now.

You would need to search and seek out online a local electronics repair center that is competent in repairing/replacing parts in Apple iOS devices, specifically, Apple iPads, to do a competent repair/replacement of that iPad screen and even that might cost more than that iPad Air 2 model is worth.


Also, there is a very strong chance that the 2014 iPad Air 2 will not get the next iteration of iPadOS, iPadOS 15.

So, there is that to consider.


It's 2021 now.

It now maybe really time to consider a new or much newer, “used” iPad model.

There are many newer iPad models with much faster internal processors and more internal RAM, and even larger screens than your nearly 7-year old iPad Air 2.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
