[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1651551, member: 234411"] Hello - boy that is a LOT of copper corrosion on those pins and appears more chronic - has there been more than one episode of liquid spill to this laptop - just wondering? I've resized your image below and also found a 'new' LVDS cable connection on Amazon [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQAAKAC/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]HERE[/URL] for comparison. Now you can go to [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_13%22"]iFixit[/URL] for DIY repair manuals but I suspect there is likely more extensive damage - you did not provide the model of the MBPro nor any warranty/Apple Care information - but if out of warranty, then likely an expensive repair, if even possible? I hope she has her important data on a backup although recovery might be possible by removing the drive? You likely need to obtain a 'professional' assessment and a repair estimate. I'm sure that others will re-chime in to offer their advice but that pic you posted looks pretty 'ugly' to me - sorry. Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]22099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]22100[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
