Hi Ive read similar problems on here but have not found answers soooo… I have a Mac Book Pro 15"Core 2 Duo A1226 I bought it late 2007. I put the laptop into sleep mode. The screen has never worked since. It works fine if I hook up an ext monitor. The computer boots up, chimes and even makes the zooming ‘blip’ sound of Skype starting up. If I shine a light at an angle at screen I cannot see anything. I have replaced the LDVS/ Data display cable with a new one but to no avail… I have been told several options. Broken Invertor board or broken screen. Can anybody suggest based on the above info which it could be ? OR what tests I can carry out to define what the issue might be? Any help gratefully appreciated! David
The light at an angle will reveal a bad inverter if you can see the screen. You did the right thing by replacing the LDVS cable if you know it to be good from a reputable seller. Next thing is the screen. Check your work on the cable first. There were three different screen providers so make sure you order the exact replacement.
