Hello all
I recently purchased a spill damaged Macbook late 2007 Core 2 Duo 2GHz 1GB RAM. Opened it up and cleaned it all out with water dispersent and contact cleaner and re-pasted the heatsinks. Plugged the keyboard in, hit the power button and... Nothing!
So I watched this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnXsKBX5LM tried it and pow, Macbook fires up! Happy days, now have a semi-working macbook for under £30.
My question now relates to the keyboard and its port/socket on the logic board. If I am able to start the Macbook using the method in the video above, can I assume that its the keyboard that is damage/broken and not the port on the board? And that if I were to buy a new one for around £50 would it work?
I realise nobody could give me a definitive answer but a general consensus would be prime
Thanks in advance. TRTH
