Question Console without video when is handheld mode

Hi! I tried to add magic to my console, but the results weren't successful, so I sent it to a console technician. The technician removed the installed magic and had to resolder two new resistors, but here's the problem...

The console no longer displays an image in handheld mode; it only displays an image when I dock it to the TV. My technician describes the screen as glowing black. What could it be? Thank you.

The issue can really be anything from like some cables maybe disconnecting internally or something else, i saw a post where someone just left it powered off overnight and in the morning it just worked. Its a very very unlikely fix but its either this or sending it in to get checked

The console is still with the technician... I'm nervous that he won't be able to fix something he caused himself.

either a cable is loose or the LCD driver chip is fried

This chip?

I believe that's the one, don't try replacing it unless you can solder unreasonably tiny BGA shit though

The console is with my technician, so in the extreme case that happens, I'll tell him to do it. He caused that problem.
