not liquid damaged.

board had a powering issue, I fixed by replacing the U4700. now the board can boot up.

but...

sometime I get black screen, no image, no backlight, I can hear sound and keyboard's will lit up.
sometime I get picture and everything else are fine.
also sometime when waking up from sleep or put the display to sleep, I get backlight but no picture or no backlight and no picture.
can also cause the system to crash.

Built-in LCD screen doesn't show up in system information.

Never lift it! Probably fucked connector or cable. Or the conductive tape that ground the board to the case at the LCD connector is touching the pins.

now I'm confused

I thought you meant to lift the flip then you remove the cable, see my pic:

I never lift it as it tends to fuck up. It is fine just sticking it in. Is the conductive tape under the cable not touching anything? I bet it is folded under the board or touching the connector pins.

you might be right about the conductive tape, they are everywhere.

I've post result after I find a way to isolate..

It connects the board to the case, not on the cable. If the board was out you have had to peel that tape away.

thanks Duke, you was right. After I isolated the leg pins of the connector with kapton tape, haven't had any problem for 2 days. crossed fingers!

Oh GREAT, I just had one of these the other week, waiting on a replacement keyboard, and yes, I've flipped up the top-latch on the metal FPC connector too; for future reference, how are you supposed to extract the flex from the board connector... or don't at all?

hold the connector with the flip closed with your finger then gently pull the flex out with your other hand's fingers.
