Hi I am seeind DIM Display on screen - i figure out something is wrong with Inverter board/cable - the apple centre says it is not so, and it is motherboard issue which would cost Rs 20,000 plus. kindly suggest.. thanks gurmeet
Hook it up to an external display and see if the problem persists. It sounds like an inverter problem to me too. UPDATE Do a web search for the inverter part: 922-7375 or 922-8280 Here’s how to install it: MacBook Core 2 Duo LCD & Inverter A1181 (fast method) Replacement also check the inverter cable: MacBook Core 2 Duo Inverter Cable Replacement
I suppose you tried such things like resetting SMC, PRAM? One more thing which can be causing this apart things you mentioned is display itself, respectively dead CFL in the display (suppose that Macbook does not have LED backlight yet). But according my experience CFL usually does not die instantly but it starts to blink at first.
Fed of dealing with Apple team - they sent to other Apple Authorized Centre and they too say Motherboard issue. I am not so technical about hardware parts. Wondering where else can i look for options in India. thanks Gurmeet
