Hello all,
I have a MBP A1278 MD313LL/A - I spilled water on it and screen went dark. It still runs and I can view the display when hooked to an external monitor.

I read online that many people were able to fix this issue by installing a new display. I bought a new display (aluminum top and all) and installed it yesterday. I made all the connections but it is still not working. Few questions:

- Do I actually have to put the entire laptop back together for the display to work or should it work with just the connections made. I didn't want to put it all back together if I was going to need to install more parts. Is the laptop thinking it is closed and the display is not working???

- Also, if it is not the display - where do I go next???

Thank you for your time.
