I have no idea how the backlight is built, but there must be some
constant-current logic driving the LEDs. If this is faulty, it could
kill the LEDs. I guess it's possible that the LED driver is separate
from both the screen and motherboard, and therefore not replaced yet.
Another idea: Could it be just some problem with the backlight
adjustment? I hope you did try Fn+Home before replacing the screen :-)
