Folowed backlite replacement tutorial very carefully,
had to remove the glass screen with rubber ( actually the rubber was kindah glued to the board to) to take off the old foil
that was glued to the board.
Put everything back .... - no change , still no backlight just the same dark screen with text ( see photos)
Donno wat i did wrong, or maybe there is other problem with my display?
Could you guys please look at the pics if you see some wrong soldering or something
or maybe the rubber between the glass and the board is not attached well as it was really tightly
"glued" to the board before i took it apart ?
any ideas?
thanks in advance

I would like to add that it is quite dangerose to remove the actual glass screen from the board,
as its rest on the rubber that is difficult to reattach back as tight as originally ...
Just have a look to what happened to my screen after i've reassambled the screen:
The right part of the screen became unredable !
than i 've squeezed the screen by fingers and could see that the missing letters come back...
So i'have dissasembled the screen again and reattached rubber more tightly ...
The letters came back ------
at least i didn't ruin my screen !
But The EL-FOIL still didn't work wheather o soldered it or not
look at this pics:
Screen with new El-Foil UnSoldered Screen with new El-Foil Soldered to Inverter cables : still No BAckLIght !???
Maybe there is something wrong with the "inverter" that feeds the FOIL?
I remember that when i just got this S950 one week ago
my original OLD backlight would come on green at random times after S950 would be on warmed up for an hour or longer ---
than it would flicker a little and on the next boot up it would not light up anymore....
than it would light up again some other day???
so maybe there is something else the problem - why no old or new FOILS work?
