[QUOTE="westikle, post: 1159893, member: 183765"] so i called my brother to ask if he ever had any problems with the display and i get the whole truth. he had spilled something on the keyboard. now i know this changes everything but, here's the full story anyway (according to him.) he says he was studying for midterms and since he can't smoke in his dorm he was dipping instead. somehow he managed to knock his spit cup on the the keyboard. yeah i know it's nasty. he had to removed some of the keys to clean it out but i'm not really sure how many. it's really clean now and you would never know it had tobaccoey spit all in it at one point. he said it still worked fine for a few days then eventually started acting funny and at one point wouldn't even turn on. it was under warranty (actually i think homeowners insurance covered it) so now he has a new macbook pro. he removed the hard drive out of the old one to try to recover data but had no luck with two different sata adapters or whatever they are called. this is why he assumed it was just the hard drive gone bad. he was surprised to hear that it even chimes when turned on. now i have looked all over this thing with a magnifying glass trying to find something wrong but i can't find anything. my brother says he didn't have to clean anything other than the keyboard and doesn't think his spit made it any further into the computer. spit is afterall very thick and i can't see it just rushing through intricate parts myself. you may or may not be able to discern anything from this but i do have one question. is it possible that a damaged keyboard could cause the screen not to work and there not be anything wrong with the rest of the computer? thanks wes don't dip over your macbook. don't dip anyway it's nasty.
