820-01700 No Backlight

Hello.

No backlight on this machine:

F8400: ok and no short
LCDBKLT_EN_L: 12V
PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT_R: 12.58V
LCDBKLT_EN_L: 12.58V (this is wrong right?)
PP5V_G3S_BKLT_D: 5.1V
PP5V_G3S_BKLT_A: 5.1V
BKLT_EN_R: 3.3V

Any help? Thanks!
 
No history available, no liquid damage.

Yes, I do get image on the screen but no backlight.

PP5V_S0SW_LCD: 5V
PP3V3_S0SW_LCD: 3.3V
DP_INT_HPD: 3.3V

Check R8450-53 and their traces.
Be sure to get similar values in voltage and diode mode to ground.

Also check diode mode to ground on both pins of D8410.
 
R8450: 0.1ohm (same value in both side in diode mode)
R8451: 0.1ohm (same value in both side in diode mode)
R8452: 1.29Kohm (diode: 0.384V on PP5V_G3S side, 0.536V on I2C_BKLT_SCL side)
R8453: 1.3Kohm (diode: 0.384V on PP5V_G3S side, 0.536V on I2C_BKLT_SDA side)

D8410(1): 0.568V
D8410(2): 0.384V

Do you have continuity from these resistors to J8500 and U8400?

Be sure all the resistors and traces around U8400 are good.
You can try changing U8400, even Q8401.

I doubt to have lid sensor problem, as you get image, only missing backlight; also EDP_BKLT_EN is present.
But is worth to try PRAM reset and SMC reset.

You should also try to get the chip from donor board, same model.
