I'm going to start by saying that there IS a similar thread like this one, except that is for a MacBook Pro and I don't have that. I'll try my best to explain my case.

In late July of this year, i went for a short vacation to the States. When I woke up, i proceeded to charge my devices (which all of them are Apple-based)I tugged some cables underneath my laptop and it went to the floor. I didn't know what to think or feel about the problem, so I ignored it and kept on truckin. About 2-3 weeks ago i startd to notice that the top was a bit loose and I made a research on it. I found out tht the hinges on Apple laptops were weak. so 2 days ago i went and took apart my laptop. i thought it would be a cakewalk but i was gravely mistaken. this morning I reassembled it properly and to my horror nothign happened.

I turn it on and the light turns on and I hear the HD (I think) and the screen flickers for a moment, but nothing happens. no sound or anything! Another thing to note is that aparently I have 3 cables that may not be commonly found. These connect to the 2 1 and 0 connections on the left side, slightly raised from the LB. The cables have diffrernt colors and they are Black, Blue and Gray. I might've not plugged them or something. i don't have internet on my iPhone or my other phone (sidekick '08) so you could send me an Email OR call me on my mobile (787)909-6026 and ask for Dave.

Don't let this happen to you. If you know what to do, make the call and save me some money!

I want to add to this thread that in the event that you by accident choose to remove your SD RAM sticks, ensure that they go in (they may require a bit of force). The way I did it was by placing the "L" shaped bracket and screwing it in a little, then pushing the sticks in. This should help. In the event that someone may be reading this, only remove them if you choose to upgrade. Thank you and good day.
