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...
