[QUOTE="nickds, post: 1381599, member: 237557"] I just thought I'd had a final stab as I'd written the laptop off to be honest mate and was gutted. I held the option key down which shows you boot devices, held the torch to it and nothing. I pressed right and enter as I knew the pen drive comes up on the right. Suddenly the light on the pen drive started flashing, I was so shocked. I then plugged the dvi monitor in and it was booting into the installer! Well my luck streak promptly ended :( I feel like crying lol I replaced the LVDS cable and the screen and nothings changed, still black screen. I did notice a bit of grime on the display cable plug on the logic board so used contact cleaner and got it off, could the socket have become damaged? It just doesnt make sense, it boots fine, shows on external monitor, has had a new screen and new LVDS cable and still doesnt show on screen? [/QUOTE]
