    Does anything happen when you hit the brightness function key on the keyboard?

    Something like f5/6?

    Have you tried Windows Key + Ctrl + Shift + B (refresh display connections)?


    If it's happening on plugged in screen it doesn't soundl like a backlight failure.

    Is that with another replacement internal screen or an external one/TV that it seems to have the same dark logo?

    A lot of Lenovo laptops have a fuse on the motherboard for the backlight which can blow. Once it's gone, the backlight never works again, even on replacement screens. If this is the case, the only options are to replace the tiny surface mount fuse, or bridge it with solder and hope for the best.
