I want to read the message box, but too blurry. So much for that.
So u brought a defective, out of warranty laptop and you want Apple you help you? What kind of help do you expect from them? How much should they charge you?
Run a hardware diagnostic, hopefully it will tell you what's wrong, or what's missing, or looking for.

you bought it for $100 of craigslist, even if you paid for them to fix it you're still gonna pay a ton less than it was new...
We feel bad for you, but maybe this whole 'picture' should've been a giant red flag to you. Without knowing how old it is, it may cost you more to have it fixed to a useable state, than you're willing to spend. Get an estimate at the Apple store, and then decide if it's worth it. If not, be glad you didn't spend more, chalk it up to experience, and move on.
I'm going to fix it myself not going threw apple just was trying to get some advise from apple never said I wanted them to fix it I made this post just thinking people would just give me some advise some people on here tryed to help and other just want to be negative thanks to the people that tryed to help me
Woah, try to use punctuation in your posts, run on sentences can be hard to work with when trying to help.
I second what Tag asked, does the issue persist when you safe boot?
The trackpad cable shouldn't cause a kernel panic if it's disconnected although I'd make sure it's completely clear of the logic board and trackpad connection on the logic board. If it's resting against the logic board then it could possibly cause a short or other odd behavior.
