Woah! Lil bro! Backlight circuits can be complicated. I'm certain @refectio with be happy to help you out. I've been biting off microsolderingsupply.com. They have a pretty good selection and should be able to hook you up with the components needed

Had screen on iPad 6 replaced but now screen shows shadows especially on white background web pages. Repair shop states new LCD because its a backlight issue? I didn’t have problem until they repaired screen and tablet is only over 1 year old. Could The back light issue has occurred when they replaced my screen?

Okay, I can officially say this problem is sovled, and I needed not a trip to the Apple Store nor a replacement part. The problem was a connector on the LCD. If you look at the LCD back, on the bottom right there is a fpc connector. When I looked at it, it was half disconnected. I plugged it back in, put the LCD back on and sure enough it works now as I am typing on it. If you have a iPad Air LCD with no backlight, check that first.

Doesn't sound like a backlight circuit failure to me. It seems as though your led back light strip has failed, easily fixable by swapping out the lcd in most cases unless you blew the backlight fuse.

Now I can type normal, I am on my laptop. First I will bring it to apple and see if they will replace the lcd for free since this started before the warentee expired. If not, then I will just replace it.
