[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1614395, member: 56379"] It's always nice to know the history of a computer. Did you purchase these two computers brand new or used...and at one time they worked 100%? Or are these two computers that you purchased broken...and are trying to bring back to life? If I got the model right...this 13" 2010 MBP has an LED display. So it wouldn't have a backlight in the same sense as earlier non-LED displays (thus fewer parts to go bad). My thoughts are a bad or worn video cable (or maybe even a loose connection). What happens if you try to use an external display? As far as the hard drive. Could be a dying hard drive, bad SATA cable, or loose connection. What happens if you try to boot the computer from a bootable external hard drive? I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "dlight liquid damaged" computer!;) The fact that a replacement keyboard and a repalcement trackpad are still not working means that something more serious is at fault. Many times this is a damaged logic board...which of course is not a "slight" problem. What happens if you try to use an external keyboard & mouse? - Nick p.s. As you can see. Some of the suggestions involve external equipment. Using external devices can many times help with troubleshooting internal problems (narrow things down).:) [/QUOTE]
