So I got this laptop that had been soaked or spilled or something. Took it apart, cleaned the Logic board up in a few areas with contact cleaner and a brush.
Put it back together and just about everything works. Firewire/usb/sirport/lit keyboard/battery/dvd drive/etc. However, the lcd backlight will not turn on. You can see that the screen is working fine - with a flashlight only. Also, the speakers and headphone jack have no sound.
Still might have been a bad idea to buy, but part of my reason was that I had a bit of a ding in the upper case of my 1.25 and I figured that I could replace it and then list a better auction and sell the shell of parts for about what I paid for it.
So, no backlight - anything I can do?
