iMac a1311 lcd doesn't work
I have this imac that a friend gave to me as one that won't power up. Long story short, I ended up replacing logic board and graphics card , and someone had taken the HD so I replaced that with one that had sierra already loaded. It will now boot with external monitor just fine, but lcd will not work. All 4 LED'S light up and backlight also lights. I got another lcd and backlight inverter with same results. I have also replaced the LVDS cable. I am not sure what to do next and am pulling my hair out on this thing ,so any help is much appreciated.
Is this a good question?

What happens when you either plug in an external display does it work? Then see if placing a flashlight on the display at a sharp angle are you able to see the faint outline of the desktop icons?

Yes ,works great with external monitor. Tried the flashlight thing but couldn’t see anything.

I cannot see any damage but there could be. I am thinking its probably another bad lcd.

If you look carefully you'll see a slight hight difference on the left side with your second image with is the logic board connector. So the width of the slot has widened a bit which could explain things as the contacts are not making good contact.
