No backlight? External display works.
Hello,
I 've been having this issue since yesterday, when my isight camera stopped working, resetting the SMC and PRAM did not help, so I tried disconnecting the iSight cable, but unfortunately (that is what i think where i screwed it) also the screen LVDS cable. Afterwards, My Mac booted, but no display visible. In "displays" in preferences, there is like this "built-in monitor" and also, when I put light source behind this mac, I can see parts of screen, so there is probably problem with the backlight.
Since only thing I am capable of doing in terms of "digging in mac" is replacing the hard drive, I am afraid soldering and stuff would be kind of another world task for me.
I ordered a new LVDS cable, but it hasn't arrived yet.
Putting some pictures of MB, please could you check it out, and let me know what may be wrong in there?
Appreciate any other ideas.
Is this a good question?

Turn in on again, wait for it to finish booting, and flash a light from behind the screen through the Apple. Do you see anything appearing on the LCD in that spot of light?

yes, the display is normally working, with the flashlighg behund it. so if i were to say it very basically, i can't get the brightness.
