So the screen backlight won't come on, but you can see the folder is flashing? Have you tried this?


Probably is the cable(s). I don't think you can tell by looking. They're fairly easy to damage.
 
I tried this but i have one more problem😞
It’s loading normally but when starting the setup screen it’s showing only artefacts..
