How do you fix the onboard backlight mechanism?

I have an apple 2nd generation that clearly has an issue with the backlight mechanism on the logic board. I swapped out the original LCD with 2 new ones with the same issue of having no backlight. Anyone have any luck resolving this type of issue? Does it reside in the port itself perhaps?

This iPod had a little bit of water damage with a little corrosion, but everything works fine except for the backlight. I used some rubbing alcohol isotropic to clean up the corrosion, but still no luck.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I think i'm having the same issue. The backlight just dim pretty much most of the time. Only sometimes it will decide to light up. It could be water damanged... not sure what to do.
