Re: The screen works/doesn't.

The ribbon itself the white ribbon with blue ends is what you tested? sounds like you're testing the ribbon connectors which can be tested using those test pads on the 2 pcbs with the white ribbon connected.

I opened it up and checked continuity on everything, and unplugged, realigned, and checked the screen an...
