Hi. I have an A1278 that after 30 seconds the screen scrambles. At first, my thought was that it was going to be an LCD/cable replacement. I removed the board to look it it over and found that U2600 and the area around it was liquid damaged. I have already replaced the damaged components and everything is functioning normal. My question is; can you give me a general idea of how this damaged circuit effected the display image? I am currently tracing through the schematic but a hint would definitely be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Thats the clock. If that goes out, then all signals go out of sync, causing all kinds of anomalies.

Its more odd you had a intermittently working clock.
