Do you get image for sure?

Check XW7720 for continuity; lot of info available on the forum.
Inspect U7701 for corrosion; pay atention to B1/2 balls.

So backlight boosts and drops immediately.
Usually bad feedback trace, in this case.
Did you really check continuity from D7701 and ball A5 of U7701?

Be sure all R7717-22 are good.
Check diode mode to ground on each one; should get very similar values.
Also test with known good LCD.

Seems that you didn't read "How To collection" thread.
Now take the red probe of your multimeter and keep it on the ground.
Check all test points ONLY with black probe!

BTW, use signal name, or component point; better to use U7701 ball marked on schematic.
You are working one board at time; one pdf, one boardview.
I have approx 20 pdf schematics opened (for online support) and ONE boardview of the board I work on the desk.
Don't force me to open more; no need that, once pdf has all I need to reply.

Be sure R7704 is good.
Do PRAM reset 2-3 times.
If BKL_PWM still missing, is time to "force" it.
Remove R7704 and run wire from C7704 to R7715.

Sorry for delay; lost this thread somehow...
