I’m trying to troubleshoot my backlight portable 5126. I can see activity on the CPU, what seems to be the right voltages on the board. I’m getting no chime, but I’m also getting a black screen. The backlight is on, there is a clear border. It looks like maybe the DISP_BLANK is on, or the contrast is messed up. I verified the pinout on the 5120 schematics are not the same.
Anyone have the pinout for the LCD?

If you don't get the chime, don't expect anything on the screen. The ROM is probably not being read, possibly due to a broken trace or a faulty IC.
