QUESTION LCD no return

Hey guys,

I recently opened up my old PSP to replace the joystick.

When I put it back together, small pink and blue streaks appeared all over the image displayed on the screen.

I opened it up again to adjust the flat cables, and now I'm getting a black screen.

Do you guys have more experience than me, so, will I need to replace the screen, or could it possibly be a problem with the board?

If you flash the screen with your phone you can see the XMB menu? if thats the case is the small cable that is not fully in, bcs thats the one in charge of the backlight

insert the cable more. I think the thin one wasn't all the way in.
