Replace the logic board on my early 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch and now the screen won't light. There is a short flash of light when it starts up but then it goes black I've removed and redone the connections and still the same problem. Any suggestions out there?
Is this a good question?

Hook it up to an external monitor for diagnostic purposes. As Jessa stated there were GPU issues resulting in a class action law suit and subsequent repair program, which of course has now expired and Apple is no longer honoring. https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro...
Please give us a history on your problems with this machine and the source of your replacement parts and what led you to do the replacements.

Thank you Mayer, I have an iMac mid 2007 can I use that for an external monitor and how do I boot the macbook Pro to send the video signal out to the external monitor.

2011 MacBooks are notorious for GPU failure---where did you get your "new" logic board? What made you decide your old logic board was bad?

Bought the new board from Ifixit, when the mac store told me that the graphics card was toast
