When instructed to cut the frame, and as well as when you snap things back together, you have to be very careful. A shockwave through the plastic can destroy the LCDs. They don't tell you that.
Thanks that did the trick!! Thanks for the advice too! Have ordered the cable and hopefully it will solve the problem. These displays are designed very badly. The big display has a quality connecter and the other displays have useless zebra cables. The plastic moulding desing is also too complicated. The overdid parts and completely neglected others.
