Area-51m, LCD failure

I have two Alienware Area-51m. One of the laptop had a backlight failure. When I use a flashlight on the screen, I could see the screen clearly and I was able to also connect to external monitor and it worked. I decided to connect one of the screen with the other motherboard.

After that both screen give me display failure when I connect them back to their own motherboard. I don't know how it is possible that I burned the screen? I mean they are the same model and everything is the same. 

When I turn on the laptop, the laptop give me 2red and 7 blue codes. According to Dell, it is display failure. If I need to provide anymore into, let me know.

    Did you swap the cable when you swapped the screen?  If not, the cable may be shorting something.  If you did, then the issue is almost certainly a faulty system board on the unit that initially produced the problem.
