So either the cable is bad, or the screen itself is bad then.Â
Glad it works though.Â

Opened the old screen. It is the cable! It is broken. Just a little, but that is enough.
I switches the good cable to the "dead" screen and it works perfect!
I wonder.....are these cables somewhere for sale? In that case I could maybe restore the second one too.

If it is a non-backlit cable... You can make a new one pretty easily using an old ultra-ATA cable, cut it down, and re-crimp back onto the connectors.Â
I did this once already.Â

OK! But I have seen that the second one has a non working motherboard. Probably needs to be recapped. It is doing something, but not complete.

I mentioned this earlier in this thread, but it'd be wonderful if someone would make new cables for the backlit Portables (M5126). Mine has a good picture, but no backlight, due to a rip in the cable :-/
