If there's a faint picture when you point a light source to the display, it could be the invertor cable or the invertor card. Are you positive the cables work? What have the seller said about the known quality? You could also look into the connector with a magnifying glass to see if dirt or misaligned pins cause the contact to break. I had a very small plastic piece break contact for a couple of pins in one of the WS/PDQ 266 connectors.
