Good lord. a) the contrast was right down, b) the polarised filter was rotated wrong and c) the damn led panel was backwards (showing a checkered grid) 🤣🤦♂️
Took a while but just completed my first refurb. (the very first IPS one was for me, this one will go to someone else).
Cleaned the body of any marks, new backlight with bihex doberry making contrast very strong and new plate over screen.
