Hi there, im a newbie ,
I've got a perfectlty healthy Macbook laptop, which is still under its 1 year UK warranty. One of the keys no longer worked, so i took it to apple, who said a whole new top case would be over £120 including parts and labour.
I thought 'No way **-say' and decided to buy the top case myself from the USA for half that price and carry out the repair myself...
Recieved the top case today, and followed a professional guide to install it. I removed the relevant screws etc, removed the 2x memory, removed the hard drive and when i got to open the top case, carefully removed the connection tab and replaced it with my new top case. Everything seemed fine...
However, once i put it back together again, i pressed the power button...no sound was heard but i could hear it booting up...the screen showed nothing. No sign of anything...completely black. No picture or anything.
HELP ! All help is MUCH appreciated. I wanna get my screen working again. What can i do ?
Thanks so much
