Chosen Solution

My 10.5” iPad Pro 2 (2017) Model MPDY2CLA/A has the white spot issue a few centimeters above the home button. Recently the screen has started to dim a bit sometimes when moved or gripped and then last night it started with a “Stagelight’ effect across the bottom of the screen above the home button - like the Macbooks did. Any easy fix or resolutions for this? My guess is it’s related to the white spot pressure point?

Clearly the display has been damaged which also links into the backlight being also damaged so one of the LED strings is not working. Hopefully replacing the display is all thats needed iPad Pro 10.5" LCD Screen and Digitizer and here’s the guide iPad Pro 10.5" Screen Replacement Update (10/22/2021) @tdehnke Here’s the line

@tdehnke check the backlight diode as well as the capacitors around the display connector. Stage lighting can be a result of those not working properly.
