    another 820-3662 no backlight after liquid on lvds connecor

    first think i would check is voltage on L7710. if pin 17 is ok and pin 5, pin 18 are all present then no boosting is happening on pin 2 of of L7710, then change U7701. please report back these voltages first.

    That I've been told a 13" screen will not work on a 15" machine. i would suggest going over the pinned post on back light issues even thought its not a macbook air.

    NOOB QUESTIONS. Do I use a power supply to connect to the board? How? ( & other ?s)

    for me i always use the proper watt power supply directly to the magsafe jack, except when diagnosing battery only issues. Board view does show which components are connected to each other as long as you select a component. I does show what each pin is supposed to be but not actually values like...

    829-3437 not power up

    sounds like buck converter problem between u7100 and q7130. i would check for short to ground on pin7 of Q7130, if no short then change q7130, then u7100. I'm betting U7100 is not working properly.

    i recently fixed one that had similar issue. everything i would plug in the battery it would blow something up and no green light, log story short i chased a short to ground all the way back to the smc threw PP3V42. i thought maybe the battery was bad until i tried a know good battery.
