stripped a norcent lcd because the backlight would just flash a quick image then go black. There was signal and picture (for a brief second ) before I stripped it, but now all the boards are connected and it powers up, I connected the panel to the computer, shows it has signal (green light) but I can't ge a image on the screen (used spotlight behind lcd) don't know how to test this thing before I go any further. Am I missing something ? Shouldn't I get some image on the screen with just a general light shining through the panel? Or did something happen to the lcd in the teardown process? I'm stumped. Posted the same question at another forum and didnt really get any ideas.

hewi12: Yes, with even a 100 Watt light bulb a few inches behind the LCD, you should be able to see and project part of it to a screen or wall. If you don't see anything on the LCD screen when you power it up, then you have an LCD problem.
danlewy: I built a frame to go around my LCD, using 1 by 2 pine. Some people start with a piece of thick MDF and use a router to cut out a big hole with a ledge. Others use extruded aluminum channel held together with L brackets and machine screws. Your frame has to hold the LCD securely, but gently. You can use foam tape or RTV to cushion the LCD. The driver boards should be held by the frame so there is no strain on the FFCs that go to the LCD glass.
