New Display, boots fine, after few minutes presents glitch & goes dark
HI There,
Replaced the display bezel and LCD per ifixit.
Machine boots, but after machine starts, new display looks great for a few minutes, then the display presents a diagonal, staggered pixel-blocking pattern and goes black.
Hoping it maybe the display inverter cable, is there a process of elimination to test?
Is this a good question?

Note to self, and to all who attempt this project. Make sure you go through the process of elimination... check with an external display first to make sure video card works on an external display without glitching.
If it does, STOP & salvage the parts that are good, DO NOT invest in trying to fix the laptop because it will cost way more than it's worth.

Thanks Owen. My mistake was to buy the parts before going through the process of elimination to determine the ultimate problem source.
The external video turned out to be glitching as well, something I should have tested before placing the order! So now I have a laptop that has a new LCD and works great for a few minutes, then :(
Hoping to find an inexpensive logic board or someone who could use the new parts! Thanks again.
