Myth: “No picture on an iPhone means the screen is dead.”
Reality is trickier. An iPhone 13 came to us with a black display after another workshop had honestly replaced the screen for 4,000 roubles. It did not help — because the fault sat deeper.
Truth: on an iPhone the screen is only the face. If a knock or a splash of water has burned out the backlight driver, unseated a flex cable or damaged the power circuit on the logic board, a brand-new display will stay just as silent. We traced the circuits, restored the backlight power — and the “new” screen came to life as if the drama had never happened. 🛠️
The takeaway: replacing a screen blind is a lottery. Proper diagnostics before the repair save your nerves and those 4,000 roubles.
