Thats what i have tried first ... no image and no backlight.
I have desoldered the coil(s) ... nVidia is now gone ... the Intel HD 4000 is doing the same things as before ... the approach to switch to the LCD and back to D-SUB is now faster
Are these LVDS connections are communicating with the graphic adapter? Then proabably simply the screen or, as you mentioned, the cable is gone.
I wonder, because older LCD's are flickering or doing some weird things instead of switching to an alternate display port.
