iPad2 Green Screen Tint

[designprof]

I am trying to repair an iPad 2 that was messed up by a previous user.
The screen has an overall green tint but I can still see the icons and the ipad behaves normally...wifi, everything. I have checked the LCD cable and connectors but nothing I do changes the green tint.

When I connect the iPad to the TV via AirPlay, the image on the TV is perfect. Great color and no green tint.

So here's my question:
Is the iPad itself OK and should I just replace the screen?
Or is there still some other serious issue to deal with?
Should I risk buying a new LCD? ($$$)

My son's screen went green yesterday for like 15 minutes, then it went black again. Is this an early sign of failure? It has apple care for like 1 more month and wonder if should ask for warranty service, the problem they may not take it since cannot show them the issue right now.

Similar Issue

I also have a very similar issue...the digitizer was replaced by someone and now everything works except the lcd shows a green hue. I have discovered that one of the lcd filters is missing and must have came dislodged from the logic board during replacement. After attempting to transplant a filter from an ipod touch 4th generation to no avail, i have decided to sit and wait until i come across a dead ipad to steal the filter from. I have included pictures of the lcd connector with the chip missing and one of the ipod filter transplanted.

I got my son's Ipad replaced through Applecare, can't comment on what was wrong since the retailer just ordered a replacement unit.

Thanks for your information and photos! I took a look at my iPad and, sure enough, one of the filter chips had been torn off. I researched the circuit diagram and found it to be a TCM0605 - SYM_VER-2 90-OHM-50MA
I was able to order a bunch of these from Digi-Key - cheap. Now I have to see if I can solder one onto my board...they are SMALL!
