Tested with 3 displays.

Looks too high.
Did you try compatible full LCD assembly (including video cable)?
Try with broken screen, is more easy to detect backlight presence.

Do you really get image on internal LCD?
eDP data lines problem can keep screen black.

Do you get 48V at pin 1 of J8300?
If yes, change LCD connector.

Compare voltage with an working board; should be aprox 39V, I think.

Usually I get 38/39V at pin1 of J8300 lcd connector with working backlight on other macbooks LP8548 driver series. I?ve already replaced the lcd connector. Maybe it?s something small I?m missing:(

Thanks JohnB8812! I checked the screens I was testing and all of then were 2013/14. Even customer's screen on 2015 macbook pro was from 2013/14. That was tricky. Got another macbook pro 2015 and that screen worled just fine.
Is there any solutions to make 2013/14 screen to make working on 2015 board?
