Let’s give this a try, take a flashlight aim it into the Apple logo in the lid, do you see a faint view of your desktop and its icon?

If you do you need to focus on the displays backlight logic, if you don’t the displays T-CON logic is likely damaged and/or the LVDS cable is damaged.

Thanks Dan. I was not very clear. It’s not a backlight issue. I tried shining a light to the LCD, and there were no images. Also I tried using a different LCD, and same results, nothing on the LCD. External display still worked all ok.
