   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...
