Dimmed iPad mini screen despite identical display settings

one of my iPad mini’s screen stays dimmed. I have compared all display settings to my other iPad and they are the same. Both have current iOS versions. Both are the same age, bought same day. Why can’t I brighten one mini but not the other?

Try to backup the iPad, reset it to factory settings and restore the backup. There is a small chance that it might correct display issues.


Otherwise, this might be a hardware issue. Stop by an Apple Store or an Apple certified service center to have them diagnose the issue.
