Backlight not turning on after replaced lcd display.

Hi, recently i bought a replacement lcd display from eBay as the previous screen on this macbook has cracked.

Before this, the Backlight was working as I can see white light on the lcd display.

After replaced the lcd, I tried to turn on, no Backlight. I can still see the display is working. Just that I need to use a flashlight to see it.

I tried reseating the cable, no luck.

I tried to find solution on the Internet but I see some said that the fuse has blown or some sort. I tried searching for the fuse but didn't find it eventually as I've seen some of the pictures doesn't match with the logic board that I have.

Now im not sure what went wrong... Haiz...

Hope that someone can explain to me bout this... Thank you

The macbook is macbook 5.1, mb466, a1278 2.0ghz 2008 unibody aluminium.

There would only be a few reasons for this failure.

Either the leds on the display are faulty, cable is faulty, or part of the circuit on the board was shorted out when you installed the new display.
