there are mostly two things which is dealing backlight of the lcd. one is the coil (6r8) other is the lcd itself . if you have changed the lcd then must be the coil . check the coil is damage or not ? send us the clear picture of the logic board removing shields . sometime the lcd is bad . under the flex of the lcd there is 2 prints which is soldered on the flex of the lcd that is of backlight of the lcd . check both are okay with the jack on the flex . check with the multimeter..

can also be pin on LCD connection of motherboard..pin 1 ? ( I don't often work on 3gs-sorry) which is bottom row on right. so if 6r8 is ok check that pin..might just need a quick re-tin with solder to make the contact better.

The pin? Where the number one connects at the motherboard? Doesnt that control touchscreen and backlight? My touchscreen works fine, but i will take a look at that, thanks.

the connector on the motherboard has ?14 pairs of gold pins soldered to the board. you're looking at just 1 of them for backlight control
