OT: Mac display/video help
Forgive non-muse related folks but I need some input...
I've been replacing the display element/LCD in my son's Macbook as one of his Xmas presents. History is he accidentally dropped it a ffew months ago turning it into a lava lamp. I found a laptop LCD supplier in Texas via eBay selling reasonably, $177 with shipping for a
13.3 Macbook element. I successfully got it installed yesterday all but the outer bezzel. I booted it and tested iSight camera and wireless all was beautiful yesterday. Today I figured out the bezzel issue and took everything off and own two or three times includiing the hinge that covers the clutch and what I'm assuming is the video inverter. The battery was just about totally exhausted. I booted it today after getting everything back and the display was very dim, like maybe 15% video. Ithought maybe it was just too low so plugged in the AC and no avail. Panic set in. Through trial/error I finally put the old display back on and saw that it was the same. I googled and found some chatter about power management needing resest which seemed to be a version of the old zap of the PRAM in
7.x. Did this no avail. It's beginning to look like this may be a bust for xmas saddly.
Realize this is sketchy but any input from Mac folks in our group would be greatly appreciated in this final hour.
Best
Jim
