MacBook Pro Mid 2012 No Backlight

I have a Macbook Pro, serial ending in F5WV, that was purchased refurb from apple for a employee to use. It last about 6 months until it was brought back to me for having no display. I did some digging and I have come to the conclusion that the backlight is the issue.

-I can do the flashlight trick and see my apple logo and users etc.....

-I can hook it to an external monitor and have it work perfect.

-I get a tiny little flash every time i boot but other than that the screen shows no life unless the flashlight is held up behind it

I have located the fuse and the driver but when i go to check the fuse the board shorts and cuts off. Obviously i am not finding the correct ground.

Any help with this issue would be GREATLY appreciated!! Even if its just helping track it down to the fuse or the driver!
