Which pin powers the monitor?

Can anyone tell me which pin here on the 18 pin connects to the LED? I'm having issues getting the screen to work. All the continuity pads are showing a connection in my tests, so the only thing I could find was that I couldn't get a connection between the LED on either continuity pad and the 18pin connector.

Thanks.

The ribbon is fine on the LCD itself, check the points here:


also check that the white ribbon has continuity on both sides of the same pin in case that ribbon is bad.

Thanks. I'm getting a connection on all those test points in your image. Are you suggesting that I reflow the pins anyway?

Shouldn't have doubted. Turned out I needed to reflow one of the connections between the PCB and the pi. screen works, as advertised. Carry on.
