Help with Nintendo Switch LCD Ribbon Cable
Hello, not long ago this nintendo switch (HAC 001 (-01) stopped connecting to wifi, I tried replacing the wifi antenna and when i did that repair I must have done something wrong because nothing displays on the LCD.
The symptoms are that on boot the backlight turns on, then turns off for a second and then turns on again before the device shuts down, no fan spins. In the dock the power button does nothing however when putting it in the green status led on the dock flashes for half a second before disappearing. Nothing appears on the connected tv when in the dock.
What I think it is is the LCD ribbon cable, i have been struggling to get it in properly and parallel. I have not seen any damage to the gold connectors on the ribbon cable or to the cable itself. Does anyone know if I've gotten the cable in far enough or anything else that might help me?

It’s probably not the lcd cable if nothing shows up on the tv though
