Xiaomi Mi A1: How to solve brightness problem after screen replacement?

Wed, 13 May 2026 23:12:52 -0700

Hello,

I bought an unoriginal screen to replace my broken screen on my Xiaomi MI A1.

I did the replacement but as it's not an original screen, there is a problem with brightness :

When I boot the phone, the Xiaomi logo appear with a normal brightness. But then, when the logo disappear and the home screen appear, the brightness become extremely low (can only be seen in a dark room).

Everything else works perfectly (touch, apps, ...).

Even if I move the brightness bar, the brightness doesn't change. I also tried to change it with apps but it didn't work either.

The weird thing to me is that the screen is able to have a good brightness (because when the phone boot the brightness is good) but when in use, the brightness is terrible.

So, is there a method to have a good brightness on an unoriginal screen after a replacement ?

Thank you !

But At 10 PM today (Friday 24th Jan) unfortunately and luckily my phone get turned on automatically in hard reset mode.

Just replaced my phone screen, the oem boot image shows up, but then the screen eventually goes blank . I’m pretty sure it’s fully booted at that point, but i have no good way of telling . I bought the screen off ebay, is it just defective ?

Xiaomi Mi A1: New LCD no brightness

I changed the LCD of the phone, using a 3rd part LCD, everything works fine until it turns on. Once it starts to turn on the brightness goes very low and I can’t see anything, I tried to raise the brightness level but nothing changes. I made a video that I think explains better my problem
