Given the fact the external display is working, and replacing the cable didn’t alter anything tells us the internal display logic its self is bad. Just like the MacBook Pro Apple moved the T-CON logic to sit within the main case vs the display lid. This puts it at risk either overheating or the massive number of cables now required

Thank you for reply sounds like it’s very possible you are right. What confuses me a bit before replacing the cable at times when the screen where in a certain angle it worked. Eventually it been hard to find get it to work not having a white screen so I thought it might be faulty LCD cable so it lost connection somehow.

You had the right idea! Just couldn't replace the damaged cable which is one of the two cables from the T-CON to the LCD panel. The other two is the backlight and the FaceTime camera I've circled.
