Black Screen after HD replacement
I replaced the HD with a SSD. I now have no screen image or back lighting.
Here is where it gets intresting. I took it to Apple and they said it was the screen. They replaced the screen and the LCD cable and it did not work. They said next would be the logic board replacement but they were not sure. Apple just swamps out parts until they find the bad one. So this was just their best guess.
Here is some other info. External displays work. Fans are running at 100%. I installed a MC Fan Controller to slow them down and monitor them. The SSD and OSX are running fine.
Is this a good question?

The fans and the display not working correctly may be two issues. Did you happen to keep the temperature sensor from the old HDD? If a sensor like that is missing, the usual effect is for the fans to run at full speed.

Yes the temp sensor is on the SSD. It was not just the Hard Drive fan that was spooling flat out, all 3 were.
