How to determine if FCC connector is causing no screen issue

Hello! I bought a Pokewalker off ebay for parts and made it a personal project to repair it. It came fully functional aside from the screen not displaying. I have attempted to replace the screen but have found that the screen itself is not the issue. This was confirmed when I put the screen from the broken Pokewalker into a working Wii U Fit meter and it worked. My next problem is figuring out what is really causing the screen issue. My main theory is that somehow the FCC connector on the board that the screen uses itself has stopped working but I'm not sure how I can check this before buying a replacement in some way. Any advice or is this just something I need to replace to see if it fixes anything?

EDIT: I have attached photos. I put the board underneath an old child toy microscope and after some fiddling I was able to see the pins. The pins do look fine however I'm not really able to get a picture of them with the microscope. I did manage to get a more zoomed photo with a magnifying glass however. While using the microscope the only thing of note I found was a component that part of the screens FCC connector fed right into. I was able to get a picture of it and circled in red the part on the motherboard.

There looks to be some corrosion on the part and was wondering if anyone else could confirm as this could make the fix either much easier or much harder

I think this connector is the only one really, but if it's the one below there are a few things I would check. Is cable fully inserted? Is the locking tab in place, and in the locked position? Have a really close look at the connector. I would put it under my microscope for this, but I know not everyone has that luxury. You can still tell without, but you have to have a keen eye. See if any of the solder connections to the board are loose or pins inside the connector are off kilter.

The connector or its connection to the board is the likeliest suspect in my opinion.

If you have a multimeter, compare values for resistance to ground on all pins of the connector and compare to the known good that you have mentioned.

Really, the most useful thing we could have is a picture of what everything looks like. You can add it to your original Question. :)

Thanks for the advice! I have posted some photos and would appreciate any help. Seing the part that looks slightly corroded in wondering if that could be the issue and not the connector itself

Hi!

It’s hard to know without testing. It’s something on the motherboard anyway. You can try to replace the FCC connector and see how that goes.

Otherwise it is something else on the motherboard. Could be that there is some short on there.
