[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1555496, member: 56379"] "Relative" is a relative term. What one person thinks is easy...another person will find hard. Let's put it this way. If you've never opened up a laptop computer before...then this repair will be harder for a first-timer than for someone who has done it 100x. Aah...you're at least our 2nd member from Belize!:) Go to this website: [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] Look up the repair procedure that most closely matches what you need to do (replace the video/display cable). Then see if you can do it. Of course remember you're going to need some tools!;) Yes...this is a repair a non-Mac repair person could do. But I'm sure they're going to complain a lot about working on a Mac. And will probably want to charge you more...just because. Finally...again. It may or may not be the video cable. From what you describe...it could be the video cable. But then it could also be the video hardware. And if it's the video hardware...then the computer will need a replacement logic board (EXPENSIVE)! performed The video cable is simply a MUCH less expensive repair...and a repair that can be by a user. - Nick [/QUOTE]
