Just installed a genuine McWill myself (Red board V3.1, a friend got it for me through Console5 since he was already ordering stuff) and wanted to mention another possible issue for the blank screen. When I installed the wires for the backlight adjustment I had apparently just barely bridged the backlight jumper on the board (it is the two half circle pads). The solder spot between them was just a spec, but that's all it took. I checked with the multimeter and then removed it and everything was working fine after that. Also, given the location of those backlight pads you almost need to do the full install first without tacking the screen down, then adjust the screen location at the very end. I'm pretty dexterous with a soldering iron but getting to those backlight pads under the cart slot would not be fun.
