White/Black screen after water damage
Hi everyone!
I got a MacBook Pro 13" Unibody. Some years ago someone spilled coffee on it, and as a result it won't work. I have finally managed to do something about it, and after some rounds of alcohol and fixing we know that the battery is dead and probably the hard drive.
When I start the Mac with the original hard drive it starts, chimes the start music and after a while the white screen of death comes up, so I thought it might be enough to replace the hard drive. When I put in the brand new hard drive it starts, chimes the start music and the screen remains black.
Do anybody here know what the problem might be?
Is this a good question?

Probably corrosion under PCH.

Can I ask where the PCH is? I am kind of new to this and not very familiar with all the terms. Thank you!

Its the larger chip near the CPU heatsink. You would need a ultrasonic cleaner.

OK, thank you very much!
