I think, I know what I did wrong. The display data cable connector has an integrated foam shield on top of it and the display data cable lock bracket. When reassembling, I must have forced the lock bracket over the foam shield in such a way that it put strain on the connector, thereby making it not mate properly. The solution was to feed the foam shield through the bracket, so that it was above it, when I inserted the connector.
I mean, is there a particular connector I would want to look at, other than the display data cable connector. I do not have a functional block diagram to see, whether the computer has a separate connector carrying power to the backlight.
Just did this, but now my display remains dark. I have opened up the case and reseated the display data cable connector. The display is still black. Anything else I might have done wrong?
