Title:

2011 iMac Black Screen but it everything else is fine

Text:

Hi Everyone!
-When I've opened my iMac to replace a bad HD but I left my LCD slipped from my hand damaging the V-Sync cable and the Flat cable. Now, my screen is black, I can see the desktop all over the LCD with an flashlight and I can use the iMac with a external display.

Checking the connectors, the V-sync just ripped the ground connector (both sides with weld) from PBC. The flat cable connector on the logic boards is fine but the cable was damaged, and I've tried to recover it. The # 4 led is turned off.
Does the flat cable affect the screen to put everything black (back light I supose)?
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for help!
