Hello. I have problem with my LCD. Before repair screen showed up for a moment when lid was at 45 degrees. At 90 degrees there is no backlight. After few tries doesn't show at any degree. The flex cable from LCD backlight was broken (maybe make some short circuit). I've replaced whole LCD, and it still doesn't work. What should I check first to propertly diagnose and solve my problem? There is no image on external LCD. No sound, nothing. My mainboard is 820-00875A (nyks 94v-0 nm19).

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Did you disable the battery, before start the screen changing?
Post F7000 and L7210 voltage, w/ and w/o LCD connected.

Actually CPU core is not powered.
Check if you get voltage on other big coils.

Did you test the board alone on the desk?
Don't connect anything, apart of charger.

Check for knocked of components, or broken trace.

You can't get video, nor other life sign, without CPU core (VCORE) present.
We don't know if you lost VCORE before replacing the screen, or just after changed it.

As VCCSA (L7370) is present, VCORE should come on too; being controlled by same U7100.
If not, you may have problems with PCH/CPU, BIOS, or some broken (ripped off) component, or trace.

What else should I check to confirm what exactly is damaged? Is there any way to solve this problem?

This is not an exact science.
If machine was working before you start changing the screen assembly, then very likely the damage has been done in the process.

Do not quote an entire post, visible few centimeters above.
Maintain forum aesthetic, please.

Ok. Even if I maked a mistake (but I don’t think so beacause I’m extra carefull in precise jobs) I think with your help I can find soliution. MacBooks are out of my knowledge but I can easly check mainboard piece by piece to figure it out.

Post voltage for L7370, L7730, L7900/30/60, L8030/60.
Also check output voltages from page 64.

Just in case, check again L7210/20.
