Video not displaying after attempted left speaker replacement

Tried to follow instructions but it didn't work out. Video is not displayed. Seems to do the bong start-up but no video. Help?

Please post some tight pics of the video cable (both sides) and the logic board connector as well so we can see what happened.

Weird as the speakers are nowhere near to the display connections.... can you be more descriptive in what you had touched inside?

@livfe I followed the instructions for replacing the left speaker on a MacBook Pro 13" retina. The battery cable and speaker cable were the items I took apart and put a new speaker in.

@danj I don't even know which cables are the video.

@michaeltakamoto Seems something was touched on the board causing a short which is affecting the display.... maybe time to take it to a specialist for diagnosis...@oldturkey03 @danj any thoughts?

The culprit in this case was simply dust. Vacuuming out the motherboard to clean things up removed whatever was shorting out the video.
