this sounds like you might have dislodged one of the cables from the
motherboard to the screen... sometmes they're use cables with plugs on the end
to go into a socket and other times they're those new flat cables that you
have to align in the slot and carefully push in all the way... kinda like
putting your credit card in one of the new readers instead of the old magnetic
strip swipe readers... you have to be careful of those types of cables as
they're easy to flex too much... they're generally clear or brownish orange
but very thin like cellophane only stiffer... the conductors are painted on
them... if you were closer i'd offer to take a look at it with you but...
