Backlight turns off on high brightness

Hi!

Mine LG G2 has a very strange backlight issue. The backlight is working on low brightness levels, but turns off after 40% of brightness. Under very bright light I still can see that the image is still present on the display, so the screen is working itself. When I change brightness level back under 40%, the backlight turns on again.

What could be faulty? Screen or motherboard?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The screen was original. The issue has gone after motherboard replacement.

Excellent, thanks for the quick response. I've just picked up another g2 with a broken screen (cheaper than buying another mobo).

That's a real weird fault though. Did you contact LG support?

My G2 suffers from the exact same, 40% then the backlight goes.

It's useable at 40%, but that's not the point.

Simon, the warranty of my phone was over long time ago, therefore I didn't contact support. However I still own that faulty motherboard and it's interesting to know what exactly the reason is.
