MacBook Core 2 Duo: Replaced Broken Screen, Still no Video

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 13:23:12 -0700

I brought a MacBook Mid 2007 model 2.16Ghz to repair on Craigslist. It was working through a external monitor when I brought it, and will still works by that method.

So replaced the Screen and put humpty back together again. And when I went to turn it on the screen flashed grey for a minute and then still no video on the laptop screen. So what is it, a bad power inventer, did I short the Screen or simply a bad connection?

This was not a Spill laptop, maybe a fall?

MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260: Broken Screen. External monitor stopped working. How can I fix this?

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:11:06 -0700

I dropped my macbook pro quite some time ago and Ive been using an external monitor then one day i came home from work and then the screen would no longer display on the external monitor. Previously I could see the screen dimly with enough light in the room and now its completely black. I do not need to fix the screen itself I would just like to fix it to the point where I can at least use an external monitor again. How do I go about fixthing this problem and what do you think is wrong in the first place? Thank you for your help and your time.

Xbox 360: Video @ 480p and then no video at all

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:53:13 -0700

Manufacture date is 2008-04-10

I hooked up the XBox 360 with an aftermarket component cable. I was able to get 480p output but failed to change the setting away from 480p. I power cycled the console, and was no longer able to get any video at all. There were no red rings on any of the quadrants.

I was able to replicate the video failure (no video at all) using a genuine Microsoft component cable. I didn't test with an HDMI cable. That's the biggest reason why I want to fix this console. It's the only one in the house with an HDMI output.

I'm aware of two methods to address this problem. One puts new thermal grease on the GPU and the other takes a heat gun to the video port solder joints. I'm not sure if my console has cracked or dry solder. I speculate if this were the case, then I would not be able to get video output at all on the first try.

How should I proceed given the unit's manufacturing date?

Thanks for reading!

Xbox: XBOX has Sound, but no Video.

Hey folks,

I received an XBOX from one of my local guys as broken and plugged it all in. I hear the loading screen, look on my TV and there's no video. You can HEAR the loading screen, but there's no video at all.

Any ideas of what's happening?

Thanks,

Andrew
