Thank you for that clarification.
I found another attempt to put this MVA panel into a Thinkpad, but in a T410.
He used a premade adapter cable from www.iccfl.com, so there was no soldering
involved. It showed the exact same behavior as I have: backlight + dimming
works, but no images is displayed. But at the end of his attempt, the old
panel did not work anymore, so maybe he blew a fuse or so.
This might be related to the higher current draw of the MVA panel.
Maybe someone more knowledged could have a look at the electrical specs of the
two panels, the officially working one [0] and the MVA panel [1]?
And maybe also at the kernel logs I posted previously?
That would be great. Thanks!
Is there any other useful information I could provide, any other logs or such?
Please let me know!

Yes, it's indeed dual channel LVDS.
