Macbook 2012 Backlight not working

I recently replaced my SATA hard drive with an SSD drive and have noticed that my backlight is now not working in my ( late) 2012 Macbook Pro, the keyboard functions for the light work but back light is coming on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated


Thanks

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
