Open her up and carefully check all the connectors you have access to.

Sometimes it can really be that simple, as it was with my S-950 'faulty' floppy drive.

Test it before you close her up again.

After hours of researching i finally found the reason of my problem.It seems like there is a loose conection between the backlight Inverter and the board of the Psu.When i press the backlight inverter the light turns on.Tomorrow i will remove the psu and see whats going on!
