Display Macbook Pro A1260 Had A Loose Connection Macbook Pro 15 Core 2 Duo Models A1226 And A1260

Chosen Solution

Hi there, i have a Question. My MacBook Pro early 2008 had a display problem. The problem is when i moved my display gently up and down the display flickers and have a black color softly. The authorised apple personal told me that i have a loose connection problem with my display. So my question is what can i do now? should i buy only a new LED panel or a new Display(complete)? Could you please help me to solve this problem? Thank you so much Best regards

USe the guide to open the top case check the connections there, look at the cables for crimps or shorts. If none there then remove the display bezel and check the connections to the inverter, while you’re at it lube the hinges and tighten screws before reassembly. If this answer is acceptable please remember to mark it. Good Luck, N.

The most likely culprit is the Display Data Cable : [linked product missing or disabled: IF185-133-1] Here’s how to replace it: MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 Display Data Cable Replacement

Try pushing below the Apple on the back of the screen if the color returns your display cable probably isnt broken. It is easily fixable with some doublesided tape. Just follow the Installing display cable tutorial Without removing the cable. When opening the screen you can see the chip right next to the display connector, cut a piece of tape the size of the chip and paste it on there (between chip and plastic). That should do the job and spare your some money on a new display cable you dont need..

Try taking the computer apart VERY CAREFULLY keep track of every single piece. If the connector is ripped get a new screen, if not just reconnect the connectors. -Me-
