So backlight circuit is enabled, just not boosting.

Check if D9701 isn't shorted (A-K).
BKL_PWM, exact voltage?

Be sure all return resistors R9717-22 are good; as their traces too.

D9701 Diode Mode to Ground .395
BKL_PWM is 3.1V

R9722/21/20/19/18//17 is 0.5 Ohms

"D9701 Diode Mode to Ground .395"
It has two pins and no idea where did you get that diode mode reading!
Such reading is not relevant anyway, if you get 12V on backlight output.

However, my question was totally different.

My question wasn't that.
However, considering these readings, diode isn't shorted; which I was wating to know at beggining.

Change U9701.
