Sorry, but I think you will have to disassemble it again. Was it fine before you cleaned it? Does it change when you move the arm/screen around (swivel and tilt)?
First guess is that the video cable is not secured in all the way to the connector, or a pin got loose in the connector, or maybe a wire misplaced/pinched/grounded somewhere in the casing.

It was fine before I dissembled it and moving the arm has no affect. I remember it was really hard to pull out the display cable so when I was reassembling I didn't place plastic thing that covert it. Could that be the problem?

After resoldering the pins it worked
