Hi,
I have a MacBookPro 5,2 17" mid-2009 in the closet that have a display problem since some years now. Time to try a repair, thought I could ask for advices here.
Completely randomly, it displays every thing that should be black as bright green.
can start at boot up, or after some time of use, random. I’ve plugged a external display, image displays fine on it. see :
I’ve tried disassembly, but can’t go as far as removing the all display assembly cause don’t have a heatgun to remove the display glass.
Plus removing that glass seems to be 1 on 2 chances of breaking it, and I see that screens only are not that cheaper than a complete assembly…
But before I buy a complete display assembly, could someone with more knowledge confirm me that this is not a graphic chip problem as the external displays fine.
