I just resolved this problem with mine today by replacing the display data cable. I had to follow the 17 pages of directions here, then a few more pages from this PDF: http://www.PowerBookmedic.com/xcart1/fil... The worst part of this is that you have to disassemble the LCD housing (the lid) and it's glued together with epoxy. Mine didn't turn out TOO bad but it's definitely battle scarred now. It did work, by the way, but it took me over 7 hours to do the repair and I'm no newbie.
I solved this problem by heating the heatsink from the other side (from the keyboard side) using a hair dryer on high heat for about two minutes. It turns out that this was TOO effective and the heatsink compound dripped and made a bit of a mess. The point, though, is that heating it works.

I am having a very difficult time removing the logic board. I double checked that I have all of the connectors disconnected and all of the proper screws out but it just won't budge beyond 1/8 inch when I lift from the top (where the man's fingers are in the photo). I think the CPU is strongly adhered to the heatsink and it won't come apart. Suggestions?
