Display not powering up after SSD swap
I was trying to replace the harddrive (and converting to SSD) on my 2015 iMac. All seemed to be going well but when I tried to turn it on, the monitor panel is completely dead. I hear the strating tone of the computer but no life at all in the panel. Then I noticed one of the display plugs on the motherboard looked like a little piece had broken off. Does that explain why it's not working? And if so is there a fix or have I broken it? If so I might try to just do a monitor conversion.. It's a 2015 so I don't think I need the thermal sensor.. or do I? Any help much appreciated!
Это хороший вопрос?

That little part broken off should not cause the screen to not have any image or be dead 100% That plug specifically is the Backlight of the screen.
Will you check with a high power flashlight super close to the screen - if there is any image of sort, but no light behind it? I have experienced that plug not working the best and needing to make sure it was plugged in all the way to get good backlight.
Also, will you upload a picture of the metallic connector that the screen also plugs into? That is the data for the image plug.

@joesipaq Just a quick not to say thanks very much for the answer. I'll try the flashlight test soon but a bit busy at work at the moment! Thanks again.
