So I'm trying to fix my friends A1226. I've tried many things out... I am starting to suspect there is a loose display connection of some sort internally, but before I go disassembling the device, I thought I'd post here first to field any suggestions.
The display works, sometimes. It is an intermittent issue. So I am not really sure what is going on. When it is working, there is obviously no issue and when it is not working, if I hold a light to the screen, I can not see any dimmed display content whatsoever. The bell chimes, the key backlights work, etc.
I just cannot seem to figure it out. Maybe it is the known logic board issue with these models? Idk.
I did just manage to pull off a complete reinstall from the Snow Leopard DVD after wiping the device as a slave, repairing, then booting and holding C (the display worked this time), but then once installed and restarted, I can not complete set up because now the screen is once again not working :S
Thanks for any help.
