Portable no backlit, video fades away

[Aektann]

Could you please help me to determine a problem with my original no backlit Macintosh Portable? It starts ok and displays a mouse, beginning to boot normally, but then the picture fades away. My machine was fully recaped and working well before this day. What should I check first?

Good battery? Also have to recap power adapter. I just recapped my adapter yesterday.

Yes, the battery is new and good. Power adapter is also ok

Could it be a screen panel itself? Computer seems to be working and booting correctly

Can you post photos and/or a video of the behavior.

I've never seen a panel fail like that. I'd check that you have 5V and contrast voltages at the display after the failure occurs. Smells like latent cap damage.

I've figured out the reason. The ribbon cable connection the display panel and motherboard seemed to be broken a bit. Hopefully, I'll try to restore it.

Any resolution of this, mine is fading as well as I use it.... it starts fine, can use the screen but over a few minutes it starts to turn darker and fade to an unusable amount.
