Update: it does show an image, it's just the backlight that's not working, how should I fix it? I already tried cleaning it. Someone told me to look for shorts with a multimeter but I don't know where to start.
Yes, I do, and if I put a light close to the screen I can see the home screen, it really is weird.
Check this cable and connector:
This cable is responsible for powering the backlight in the screen, it looks a bit tilted in your picture, try inserting it a bit further. Be careful not to break it or the connector.
However it is weird that the system still powers on like this and that you had the same issue with another known working screen, normally the system would not power on at all if this cable was not connected, so this could also be a hardware issue with the power circuitry on the motherboard.

Thanks for your input. I pulled the connector a little bit in but it still doesn't work. Someone that repairs Iphones told me this might be the backlight filter although I don't know what that is,
I think I forgot to mention this but the screen backlight does work in another motherboard so it can't be the cable.

It's most likely an issue with the motherboard's power delivery to the backlight then, you could look around for any visible damage or check some power delivery points, but other than that there's not that much that you can do if you're not a professional at repairing electronics.
I don't know any guides, the only thing I could suggest is measuring the voltage on that backlight connector. I'm not an expert with this either, I would probably have to replace the entire motherboard if I had the same issue.

I havent played my xbox360 is a couple of years. My switch got much use the last few days. Tears of The Kingdom is great+1 -
@
BigOnYa:
I agree Tears is great. I even played thru it completely twice. I've been hooked on playing thru Fallout 4 again though, after they released the next gen version for Series S/X. Is pretty cool update.

tears of the kingdom is not the type of game I would ever intentionally start over unless it had a new game plus -

because I already got burned out with breath of the wild, which for the most part is essentially the same game, and then again with master mode, which doesn't work as a new game plus (that always felt bizarre to me)
