PowerEdge R720 – Front LCD panel completely dark
We did something that has apparently turned off the front panel LCD display and Power light - The server is up and running normally, just no lights in the front (except for the blinking HHDs). And pressing any of the 3 panel buttons -- left arrow, select, or right arrow does not do anything.
I have been trying to search the web, but can't quite get the right search string to help me find the answer...but I did encounter this bit that seems to make sense, unfortunately it doesn't say how to turn it back on.
...the LCD backlight will remain off if the LCD messaging is turned off; this can be done via the web-based graphical interface, IPMITOOL, Open Mange System Administrator, or a command line too such as RACADM.
Anyone know how to turn this option back on?

From inside the iDRAC7 interface: Hardware >> Front Panel
This is what I currently see:
However, I should see something like this:

Robert -
We tried options 1 & 2 -- no change. Prior to trying option 3, my management wants to try option 4 first.
Are there any instructions or guide on how to check/ reseat the LCD cables that I can reference?

Thanks Robert -
Suggestion #4 -- Reseating the LCD cables -- did the trick. Power has been restored to the front panel and the iDRAC7 interface (Hardware >> Front Panel) looks like it should.
