Hi Guys,
My screen developed some 'screen wobble' so I decided to take my machine apart to see if I could tighten the hinges. I only got as far as taking off the screen connector and cable tidy then figured out I didn't have the correct torx bit and put it back together with (I thought) no problems.
When I turned it back on the chime sounded and keyboard lights up as expected but the screen remains black. The machine seems to be fully functional as I can hear the sounds when I adjust the volume etc and when I shine a torch on the screen as suggested elsewhere I can see the desktop and my startup applications all there.
I have tried booting into safe mode and resetting PRAM but there is no difference.
I must have done something inside when I started to take the machine apart but can't for the life of me think what. Any of you guys have any ideas of what I can try? I read another thread from another poster who was told that it could be the logic board but that problem didn't have anything coherent on the screen when the torch was shone on it.
Any help would be appreciated
