Solomon Zamora, my colleagues must be taking the weekend off :-). What is the number for your logic board? It should be an 820-XXXX number and stenciled on the board. Also, what are the last four digits of your computers serial number? this will help me to properly identify your hardware. Right now I have 6 different logic board schematics but need to make sure I have the right one for you.

Your backlight system has a problem. This series used LED's on the main logic board is the WLED driver which often burns out it is located near the LDVS cable connection. I often find liquid damage in the area.

Pop off the cover and take a good detailed picture of the area and post it for us to see.

Buco Escobar marked it for you in your picture. The reason for the pic was to see what could have damaged it and see if it was burnt. I don't see any signs of water damage and the chip its self looks physically OK. So I wonder if the fuse link burn't instead. Did you disconnect the LVDS cable before? When you first had the problem.

i disconnect the cable just to get picture.where is the fuse link located?was it on the opposite side of the board?

25 jul. 2014 door Solomon Zamora

If you look carefully near the large chip you should see a small resistor with a white dot on it this is a fuse link. I'll try to post an image later today with it marked off for you. But the issue now is are you able to solder fine contacts? this is not easy if you haven't I would recommend you bring your system in to someone who can. Besides you'll need to get a replacement fuse link.
