    Surface pro 4 backlight issue

    Hello all,
    a dead surface pro 4 arrived at my place some days ago.
    It had a blown fuse (0ohm Resistor) and i replaced it.
    After resistor replacement, i connected the display and checked the device and the device turned on. i just unplugged the power at surface logo and assembled the device back.
    After that, i turned on the device again but no backlight at all. The LED Driver IC - MP3388s Vin is 0.35v before power on and 1.5v after turn on but still not enough to turn on the LEDs i think, as the driver ic needs 4.5V+. I see some spikes from 1.5V to 4V some times but still nothing.
    Also, i found that the battery schottky diode was blown aswell and i replaced it.
    Seems like a failed MP3388s. no?
    Any idea?

    Thank you

    Back to my own post, i just removed the MP3388S and the voltage on Vin came back to 8.5V. So it seems that the Driver ic failed. Waiting for the new one to replace it.

        iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
        by cheebster
        Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
        Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
        Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
        The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
        Anyone...
