LCD backlight gone to the darkside. LED strips dead!
Hi, I have an iMac late 2012
I was doing some hardware upgrades (Memory, SSD & Processor). After the upgrade the LCD went dark... did some tests and cables are fine,
The suspect: LED strip bar (using a flashlight I can see the icons and stuff in the screen). Where I can find a new one?
Another question: How do I test the LED driver, just in case? In a crude test I just get around 2v to 2.5v in the LED's driver pins!
Thanks for any help!
Update (11/17/2016)
Hi, I found a guy selling a LCD, same year same model as mine... but the part number don't match. Mine is LM215Wf3(SD)(D1) and his LM215Wf3(SD)(D2).
If I get this new LCD, it will work on my iMac? Any one knows what the final (D...) means? (He is asking like $1500 US. (I'm not in US) Its a lot if money to get the wrong part!!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I'm in Brazil... the nearest Apple is in Sao Paulo, about 1300 mi from here. ebay nobody ship to Brazil! The options at this point: get a new one or "Argh" get a PC.... Feel the pain to get an Apple product and be isolated in the world!! Hahahaha
