Hi ifixit
___________________________
I'm having black screen(internal monitor) after ssd install.
Here is more details a short & long description:
'''Short description:'''
- opened iMac 2009 late, i7cpu
- Installed ssd with ifixit case.
- Problem when boot! Black screen with led glow(no screen signal but looks like backlight led is on)
- I can view computer via external monitor (ssd and everything els works)
-I suspect monitor cables could be damaged, since this is only thing I have touched.
What do you think would be the problem?
___________________________
'''Problem Description:'''
Nothing else than black light on screen. Seems to be display only related issue.
Suspect:
Damaged -
-Monitor Display cable
-Led backlight sync cable
-Logic board connectors
Info:
- Monitor is black with backlight so it's a glowing black. See video 1#
- on external monitor the computer works perfect. See pic 2#

'''Long Detailed Description:'''
I have experience with building computers and my iMac(mid11) I have installed dual raid ssd with no problems.
I have installed a Evo 850 ssd in my iMac(late09) with a ifixit ssd case.
The display is black with a glow, looks like black with led backlight.
I get nothing on the display but I have a fully funktioning computer since i can use all via an external monitor..
How do I fix my internal monitor or cables?
Seems like it should be a cable issue, since It's the only things I have been touching while opening the iMac.
The cables have been firmly reconnected 3 times now and I don't understand why I see no life. Especially the monitor cable looks tricky but I have inserted it and pullback to make its not loosely connected.
The "Led backlight sync cable" got the wires bended in the start but i have straightened them out now (example in images) though i have read the "led backlight sync cable" is not important for screen to work but it make a hissing sound if disconnected.
Can it be the cable and what cable? I suspect it's the Display Port cable or the led sync cable since these cables look a little weak or have no plastic mounting system like led backlight cable..
NVRAM is reset
SMC is reset
Can I replace these cables or what do you recommend me to do?
What do you think would be the problem?
