Unfortuantly i couldnt find anything, apart that when the screen was replaced, it may have affected some hardware/components.

If you have warranty take it to your apple store. If you have repaired it yourself the warranty is now void.

My solution to this would be a new screen replacement from apple themselves.

I hate the iPad air repair because of this ghosting problem! Even with the tape some iPads still have this problem.

Ok a Repairer in this forum said that tape should be applied to the ribbon and the wires.

Adidan,

Usually the taping needs to be done on the iPad mini. On the iPad Air it is faulty replacement screens. I have had 3 in a row sometimes, you can imagine how frustrating that is.

You can put the screen down before adhering and gently push around the edges without cracking the screen to see if there is any one area that triggers it.

Try and put on the old screen if it isn't damaged to much and see if it still is "ghosting".

If you have another iPad Air for testing you can test the replacement screens to see if they "ghost" on another device.
