Hello to everyone! I'm a newcomer and a guy from El Salvador, Central America.
I come here, seeking your advice, as I have had a real trouble that plain sucks.
recently my hard drive stopped being readable, an after trying some other hd i figured out that it was the hard drive cable to the motherboard. I ordered it on ebay and problem solved.
And there I was placing the bottom case to start screwing it, suddenly an alluminum part of the bottom case touched the battery resulting in little sparks and the macbook shuttind down inmediatly. I turned it on again and there it was a pretty much dimmed led screen.
Everything is fine, i have used it with an external monitor, the led is fine you can see, barely but it works. It's just the backlight.
I have tried everything from the people here, PRAM, SMC, everything and it's not solving anything.
I figured out after reading here, that it could be either the inverter or the bulb.
What do you think it could be? also, i can;t seem to find any of those for my macbook pro led 13.3 inch.
I live in el salvador, so there is really no 3rd party tech center that could help me out.
PS. I don't really know if i have been resseting the SMC well, the instructions at apple point out that the magsafe led should change, but it has never happened to me. Also when i press Shift+option+control + power, the machine turns on inmmediatly. According to apple I would need to press the power button again to turn it on, on my case it turns on the first time I press the power button..
I would really apprecciate your help.
