820-00840

since i believe there is no board view and schematics, i am using 820-00875

This board was liquid damaged, repaired all obvious damage, and computer works fine until i close the lid, it wakes up but has no backligh
i can see the image in the background,

any ideas where should i start?

The backlight doesn’t come back after the MacBook is set to sleep by closing the lid but it does come back fine if it’s set to sleep from within. Please see attached video of the issue.

There was no corrosion at all in this area,

and looked again, no corrosion, should I still replace just to make sure is good?

Check SMC_LID and check everything around U5255. I'm betting one of those resistors is blown or you have a continuity issue there.
