Hello guys,
the hinges of my girlfriends MacBook Air (Late 2008 - A1304) broke so eventually also the screen died (more the cable I guess). We bought a new screen assembly off ebay and exchanged it but the new LCD screen stays white all the time. You can control the backlight LEDs via the function buttons. Also the camera + AirPort works. But no image.
Now the strange thing is that if we hook up an external monitor (miniDVI) it works just fine - that was also the solution before the new screen was mounted. In the system settings the newly mounted screen even appears as 'LCD Screen' but there simply won't come any image up.
I also have another 'test screen' from another old MacBook Air that I hooked up to the MBA and it's the same symptoms so I can exclude any screen failure.
Does anybody have any idea on that problem? I've read about this problem now a few times but nobody seems to have a solution. Is it worth trying to reset the VRAM or will we then just also loose control over the external screen?
Thank you for any suggestions!!!
