I don't know if I just have the worst luck with A3X screens or if there's a design flaw, but I keep getting broken backlights!!!
A31 2652-M6U: Order new screen, backlight bad. Haven't bothered fixing since motherboard is also bad.
A31p 2653-R8U: Came with a bad backlight, attempted to replace bulb, attempt fails
Order new screen for A31p: Arrives with broken backlight! Send back to seller, seller replaces backlight bulb, and returns. Backlight works!
A30p: Came today with bad backlight. Bulb replacement 90% complete, need to buy a new soldering iron.
Have I just had bad luck, or what?
Bad Backlight Epidemic?!

You need to go to the appropriate house of worship and take it from there...
I've had more A3 series machines than I can count, and a fair share amongst them had the backlight issue. But your story is absolutely mindblowing...
Maybe the next time I put one on the marketplace you should try your luck...but let's make sure that's done AFTER visiting the aforementioned religious place...
