No visible liquid damage or corrosion, can run fine at times and other times seems to shut down under certain loads. But not really shut down, the backlight, keyboard light and USB all stay on with no picture, sometimes resetting it will still go back to this no picture state.
Running ASD with a Magsafe-2 I get no errors.
Running ASD with a genuine 85W Magsafe-1 with adapter I get a VDOR, IPBR and sensor below low point error and then it will jump into the no picture state. I can reliably get it to go into the no picture state with ASD and magsafe-1.
Figuring its some kind of current sensing issue, any usual suspects to check out first?

Did you check with a flashlight behind the apple logo if there really is no picture? Bad LCD cable/LCD assembly is the first thing to rule out.
