There is no image on the display. The display looks
the same when the phone is on as it does when the
phone is off. The backlight can be on in some cases.

the image can be missing. If a part of the image is
missing, change the display module. If the image is
otherwise corrupted, follow the appropriate
troubleshooting diagram.
Backlight LED components are inside the display
module. Backlight failure can also be in the
connector or in the backlight power source in the
