If PanelDue is showing a black screen, either there is a hardware fault (most likely a blown backlight inverter on the panel) or you have erased the firmware.
You can check whether the PanelDue controller is commanding the backlight on by measuring the voltage on the LED_A pin of the TFT panel. It should be +3.3V for full on, and 0V for off.
If you have erased the PanelDue firmware, then if you connect its USB port to a PC you should see the "Bossa Port" in the Ports section of Windows Device Manager (others can translate that to what you see under Linux or OSX).
