There is an extensive thread on here that details a DIY jumper that can be made to turn your backlight back on--- but I always caution people to really consider just having a professional replace the fuse on the motherboard--it can be done easily and affordably with the right tools. You can find mail-in iPad mini backlight repair service on eBay if your local shop doesn't do it.

Your back light filter is blown, that is a very difficult repair. You should take it to a local repair shop that can hand that type of repair.

The error may also be in the IC chip that was used in the replacement. You need to update to the most recent iOS and you also should attempt a new screen. Before sending it off, redo the job, but make sure the Mini is off. Do a soft reset. Do not use metal tools to release any plugs on the inside.
