Samsung UN55J6200AFXZA no backlight/video

Update: bad screen.

This LED Samsung is 14 months old. While viewing, the screen went black but there was still audio. A quick check showed no back-light or video.
I ordered a complete repair kit from SHOPJIMMY.COM (power, main, T-Con, remote and Wi-Fi boards (take-outs)).
I installed the first set of replacement boards and the audio, visual and back-light were now ALL dead. I pulled the ribbon between the main and T-Con boards and all the back-lights light. Reattaching main board to T-Con killed back lights. Reinstalling the original main board restored the audio. Still no back-lights or video.
A call to SHOPJIMMY got a second repair kit delivered pronto (no hassle, great service so far).
Installed the second set of replacement boards and again no back-light or video. I’ve yet to check audio. Pulling the ribbon between main and T-Con produced back-lights.
I have yet to connect a DVD as a sound source to check audio.
If all boards are "good", what else might possibly cause the problem?
Thanks
Phil
