no video on startup is my MacBook dead?
I had a spill incident, and I replaced my motherboard. Now the video won't start up, and I found that one of the pins on the lvds cable was broken.
I need to know if replacing the cable will fix the problem or if its going to be a different solution. I heard of starting a macbook with another macbook in target mode, and i was wondering if i could leave my lvds cable unplugged to do this.
Any other troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Is this a good question?

By video I assume you mean the display. Connecting an external monitor is a quick and easy test if you have one available.
