Connect controller to backlight
  • For the backlight, a 4-pin cable went to the board.

  • On the other end, the controller cable had 8 pins for 6 sockets present on the built-in backlight cable. I pulled out the extra pins (1 on each side) using needlenose pliers. I could see only the middle 6 slots on the header were being used.
