Cost Guide

Last updated: 13 March 2026

If your screen appears completely black but your device is still running — sounds playing, vibrations working — the Backlight IC is the likely culprit. Here's what it costs to fix in Malaysia.

What Is the Backlight IC?

The Backlight IC is a chip that controls the LED backlight behind your screen. Without it, the display panel gets no light — so even though everything is working, you see nothing. It's one of the most common IC failures in iPhones, MacBooks, and Android devices.

Backlight IC Repair Cost by Device

Smartphone Backlight IC repair: RM 180 – RM 600
Tablet Backlight IC repair: RM 200 – RM 650
Laptop Backlight IC repair: RM 180 – RM 600

How to Confirm It's the Backlight IC

Shine a flashlight at the screen at an angle — if you can faintly see the display, the backlight is the issue.
Device still receives calls, messages, or makes sounds — it's on but screen is dark.
Screen worked fine then suddenly went black after a drop or water exposure.
Backlight worked intermittently before going completely dark.

The Repair Process

Backlight IC is micro-soldered directly to the motherboard — not a plug-in component.
Requires professional hot air rework station and microscope.
The faulty chip is removed and replaced with a new one.
Brightness calibration and display testing after repair.
Turnaround: 1–2 days.
