There is no way to tell for sure without testing where the problem is. Backlight is brought to screen with one anode and two cathods. Each line protects the board with one filter, which is there to shield the backlight driver and components. Sometimes damage is limited to the filter, other times it goes further. Bridging a filter is a bad idea as any injury to the screen next time will likely directly destroy the backlight driver, capacitors, inductors and so on.

You can try replace all filters, if backlight is still half faulty you’ll have to dig deeper in the circuit.

@doctorgadget You'll have to replace FL4211, FL4212, FL4213 or make jumpers for testing purposes. They're not capacitors though, they're ferrite beads. If you were to bridge a capacitor all you would get would be a shorted to ground line.
