White screen after LCD replacement!

I mounted a AUO in a MacBook mid 2009 originally with a LG screen and the result was a white screen.

The same AUO work great with my MacBook late 2007 originally with a LG and not work with another MacBook originally with a CHI MEI screen .

In the MacBook mid 2009 i mounted another LG and work .

Now i'm a little confused with the compatibility of LVDS cable .

I know that is universal ( Samsumg lcd excluded ) .

Someone can clear my head?

Find out the display model/manufacturer of your Macbook

To find out the LCD model (and manufacturer) of the display in your Macbook or Macbook pro, open a terminal window and paste the following code followed by enter:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

This gives you e.g. the following information:

B133EW01 V0

Color LCD

The first line is the LCD model number, the second is the active color profile.

If you google the LCD Model number, you can find out more about your screen (contrast ratio, brightness).

For my screen (build into a 1st generation Macbook build in 8/2006) I get the following information:
