[QUOTE="mattross, post: 1509064, member: 289175"] A bunch of weeks ago I decided to spend $150 to upgrade my LCD because my original LCD gave off a nauseating yellow hue. I install the LCD, but in the process pull a contact out of my inverter cable (which wasn't that secure to begin with). I order a used inverter cable and install it but there is no backlight. I remove the inverter and replace it with a known working inverter (both were tested on my mac before I installed the new LCD), and it still doesn't work. I remove the new LCD and replace it with the old LCD but there is still no backlight. I call for a replacement used inverter cable, get the new used one, and the backlight still doesn't work. I have ordered another replacement, this time a new inverter cable, but I am skeptical that this will work simply because of the probability of getting 2 bad inverter cables twice. My macbook has already been sitting open for four months now. I can use the computer just fine, so I doubt I fried anything on the logic board. I am completely perplexed as to what the issue could be. Any ideas? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
