[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1527016, member: 56379"] BTW...one more thing. You mentioned in the other thread that your MBP works fine with an external monitor. A bit unusual...but it can happen. It would be good to verify if the liquid damage was the logic board (or another built-in display related part)...but this is basically impossible for the home computer owner to verify without 100% good working parts to do the troubleshooting/parts swapping with. You could potentially get a replacement logic board...install it...and still have a non-working built-in display...if the logic board really is not the damaged part. Or you could have two damaged parts...the logic board & another part. This is why liquid damaged computers are so hard to repair for the home user. Without a box full of good (expensive) parts to do parts swapping with...it's hard to know what individual part (or parts) to replace. Even the professionals sometimes have to use a "trial & error" approach to getting a liquid damaged computer working again. So long story short. If you do most of your computing at a desk...where you could use an external monitor with your MBP...then I guess the external monitor solution could be an acceptable solution. But if you need to use your MBP "on the road" (where there is no external monitor)...then the external monitor solution isn't the 100% answer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
