As title, daughter has a 15.5” Macbook Pro A1286 (2010) she closes the macbook with ear bud headphones inside and breaks the glass screen and LCD, so we replace both following a youtube video, everything seems fine as in start up sound etc but the screen is black. I took a lot of time making sure everything was connected properly as in retaining clips on cables well seated and taped, I’m pretty confident it was not a poorly connected cable.
I have tried the SMC reset and PRAM reset, after a little reading it seems we maybe should have disconnected the battery (youtube did NOT tell you to do this), and it could possibly be the WLED driver on the motherboard which is a capacitor, has anyone any advice of anything else it could be before it costs me a fortune for a computer shop repair.
We are waiting for a cable to hook it up to my PC monitor to check everything is working, TIA.
