No picture MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2010 - LVDS Problem

I know i'm not the only one, and there are couple of dozen of problems like mine but, here goes. I bought MBP 13" mid 2010. The "master" aka previous owner tried to fix the headphone jack and managed to mess up the LVDS cable and connector. He broke that top piece (used to lock the cable)

Top metal piece

and two pins on LVDS cable. And long story short, screen is black (no picture, no backligh) and that's normal.

I've ordered LVDS cable to change it, and i'm asking you now, is there any contact at that top metal part (is it vital for connection) and if so, is it changeable ?

To mention that the MBP works perfectly on external display, so i'ts not logic board or graphics.

Thanx in advance, i'll bite my nails while waiting for the LVDS cable.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

post an image of your actual part. The LVDS cable on this model is held into the socket, and some pressure is applied to make the contact So if part of that is broken, it is possible that it wont make proper contact. Check on here

Heres a picture of LVDS Connector (inside pins are intact) and LVDS Cable (it's missing two pins)

not sure if a new LVDS cable will resolve this. You could try and see if can exert enough pressure and close the contacts by using some cloth tape of the cable and the connector.
