What do you mean by the 'lamp' works?. Are you saying that the CCFL (backlight) lights, but you still do not get an image on the internal laptop LCD screen?

I would check the seating of the LCD signal cable both at the system board (try that first) and then at the back of the LCD itself (much more involved dis-assembly). If reseating the cable at both ends does nothing, try a new cable.

I've checked seatings and cable - they are ok. I didn't write about one important thing - when it happend computer hanged (no view+no sound).
Edit:
I've checked with scope signals at the end of the cabel - there is only 2-3 pins with 3V, others 0V, I don't see any clock - so it looks that something is wrong with mobo.
