The singe on the ribbon is exceptionally minute. But the thing that I don't get is that it was in perfect working order before I put in the backlight, might I have shorted it out to have to replace the capacitors? Bear with me folks I've never worked with electronics before and am trying to understand.

Yep, as I was putting my DMG back together I noticed I had touched the edge of the white back ribbon with my soldering iron and singed it just a little tiny bit, I would like to try and replace it if you have any advice or referrals on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I double checked the website. It's built in.
Well I'm thinking it's that bloody back ribbon i messed with.
Thanks for all you input and taking the time to help a girl out, I appreciate it.

Well that might be the issue as I didn't receive any such film. Is it usually loose? Because there is a dark gold layer on the back light.

Also the Gameboy is in fantastic condition and worked well before I buggered it all up.

Contrast wheel does change the screen, but not alot though.
New polarization film? I'm not too sure what that is.....
The back ribbon cable was bent while I was trying to reinsert.
I'm a bit of a gorilla with electronics.

This is my first gameboy DMG, I have already repaired some blank pixels and decided to install and LED backlight from Kitsch bent. I installed the light and fumbled taking the polarization sticker off the screen but everything looked fine, but when I finished the light worked and the music was on but no picture.
Photo1 is of the thing behind the screen I thought I may have pulled up, Photo 2 is the DMGs current state.
