Black top LCD with colored vertical lines

I was reshelling my DS lite and when I got to the point where I needed to test it, the bottom screen powers up normally and interacts perfectly normal. However, the top screen, as mentioned above, does nothing.

I've yet to see anyone with this particular issue- look for yourself.

I checked the ribbon cable connections several times but they're plugged in all the way.

A thought that occurred to me- is one of the ribbon cables perhaps upside down? Hence why it turns on but has no output?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Well of course its a possibility- but I was fairly meticulous in being gentle as I worked, especially with those cables.
