    With only the battery - can you see the graphics on the LCD? Use a phone in torch mode to shine on the front face of the LCD to confirm. Otherwise, the LCD is off.

    Sounds like the issue may be with the LCD screen and its internal LED power supply.

    What is the voltage to ground of INVT_PWM signal on the LCD connector with the power adapter? With only the battery ?

      Forgot mention that picture is present but only backlight is not on battery. And voltage on INVT_PWM is 3,10V on battery and same for AC adapter.

        Good. Remove all power. Meter in lowest resistance scale. What is the resistace across R22 on the logic board? This should be ideally ~0 ohms.

        Comment: Based on your shared measurements, to me it appears the issue is inside the LEDVDD rail of the display. I can see a 'hack' solution which is to remove R22 and insert instead a voltage boost board (should be very low cost) to accept the battery voltage of ~8 volts and boost it to ~19 volts to feed on the other side of the removed R22 component.

        The LED backlight current is usually very low. It is only an idea but since the adapter ~19v feed on LEDVDD works but the ~8 volt from battery does not, yet the display is not defective for the graphics - only the backlight circuit is of concern.
