[QUOTE="serato, post: 1107533, member: 149610"] I have first generation macbook pro unibody 15"(late 2008). about 2 months ago i dropped laptop and the cover would no longer line up correctly when i shut the laptop closed. the laptop worked fine. i was told by someone that i needed a new hinge(left). i found it on ebay. i waited 2 months to fix because everything was still working. then last week the screen stopped working. i took it to mac specialist(no applecare) who stated that i didn't need the hinge and that the lcd had disatatched from cover. he bonded it together and replaced 2 screws on the hinge. also stated that inverter cable ran along the left hinge causing screen not to operate. i got the laptop back a day later BUT i was seeing red vertical lines. mostly during video play or black screen. everything else worked fine. i can not use this laptop because i am a video dj and need clear picture. i called the specialist back who stated that inverter cable was barley hanging on and that it could not be repaired unless i bought a new logic board. is this true? the logic boards that i saw on ebay, none of them had inverter cables attached. i'm confused and don't want to spend more money if it's not repairable. any advice would be appreciated. thank you in advance.
