Hello everyone,
I have this problem for over 2 moths and after searching the entire web for answers (youtube, macrumors, google etc) but with no success.
The problem is that I had a wine accident with my MacBook Pro mid-2012 15" (A1286 EMC 2556). After this accident I've immediately disassembled the MacBook and cleaned the logic board with Isopropyl alcohol (96%) let it dry for two weeks while waiting for the new keyboard since I'm sure the keyboard takes the most damage in this cases. I also changed the cable (screen).
So after two weeks I've received the keyboard and re-assembled the MacBook. Everything worked perfect for almost a week and after that the screen would turn black and stay that way until I restart the machine and again the same thing happens over and over.
after a few days the MacBook powers up and play the apple sound but the screen stays black. With a flashlight I see the Apple Logo and after a while I can see the background (of my two kids) so the MacBook does power up and loads the OS, but nog backlight.
I did a lot of searching just to find out where the responsible backlight inverter is or ic or chip or schematics, but no answers on the net. I do have experience with electronics and replacing things and also have the right equipment (rework/reballing/soldering station) but no idea what I should replace.
I hope someone here can help me trough this. I've attached some pics of my logic board.
Thanks
