No image or mirror image on display

History

I'm replacing a screen on a badly damaged MacBook, I replaced the LCD with a few different ones, and I keep getting a mirror image or no image at all, just backlit screen. I'm thinking I need a new cable from the screen to the board or an inverter cable... I wouldn't mind buying both to try it...but does anyone know of any other issues it could be? Cables are in securely...

Where can I buy these cables from? Ebay doesn't have it, iFixit doesn't have it... any suggestions?

You could try a local AASP, an Apple Store might or might not sell you the parts, technically they aren't supposed to. The cables are going to be 992- parts, which means the old part does not need to be returned for credit, which makes them a little easier to get than, say, a logic board.

I am an AASP... and apple is backordered on the parts... been so for 6 weeks now! thats why i am looking for another route to go... any other ideas?

you could try ebay, they might have parts, they would be cheaper there, but they might have them here, if not, there is one other website "welovemacs.com" i think it's called, but im not sure whether they have just parts, you should also be able to use a part from a 13" MacBook Pro, since it technicly is the same computer with the addition of an SD card slot. and "Pro" after "MacBook"

good luck, display parts can be a pain to find correct models, so make sure that you check before you buy anything!
