So, I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro that is broken. The screen goes white sometimes, other times it will flicker and show lines.

The camera does not work and the bluetooth shows none available.

I have removed and reconnected both cables going to the display, the one near the hinge under the power button and the one near the dvd drive.

It has not made a difference. If I connect it to an external monitor I can use the monitor, but the laptop display still does not work.

Has anyone had this problem before? what did you do to fix it?

I have gone to ifixit and found this cable and think I will give it a try.
