DIY LCD backlight

Step 8 Bring all bunnies into the cage.

Now everything is ready to be assembled:
-PCB;
-white sheet of paper to reflect light back;
-polarizing filter (if you removed it by mistake);
-plastic plate with embedded LEDs;
-glass assembly;
-frame.

NOTE:
Be very careful with golden pads on PCB and elastomer connector (zebra strip). Use pure alcohol to clean it if you touched contact pads with your fingers.
Another important thing is proper alignment.
If after powering it up you got missing lines (characters) on LCD then connector has shifted from original position. Carefully take it apart and re-align it.

Picture and text show polarizing filter below the plastic lighting plate (if you removed it by mistake). If the filter had not been removed it would be above the plastic lighting plate. What is the reason for this layering change or is this a typo?

Good catch. Filter should be above lighting plate.
