Inspect the display cable (the one with 51 pins on it!) and it's connectors really well, if a connector's had a knock you may be able to see/feel if it's loose. inspect for dirt/grit/lint/glass inside them too. If the connection is happy you should be good to go, I had no such problem with mine. unplug the battery again, for an extended period of time, and after that leave the charger plugged in for a few hours (unless you can hear the machine is on) and try again. It's interesting you said backlight cable, if you're talking about the thinnest cable to the back of the screen you may have made a mistake in buying that - its for the pen If you meant the 51 pin stubby looking cable and you've already replaced that well you could be in real trouble :/ ...unless you've been fooled into installing it upside-down! the pair of digitiser cables go pins-up in their connectors on the MB, this is unusual and may have easily thrown you off, the 51 pin cable goes pins-down on the MB *shameless plug alert* replacement...
I've seen the parts you're looking for on ebay very recently *shameless plug alert* I'm selling several display and pen flex cables for this device soon on ebay, message if you need
If you're having trouble finding pen parts for SP1, buy the cheapest wacom or s-pen you can find, the tech is the same they're all interchangeable, mine was £5 from china and never looked back since
Hi, I've just ordered a batch of a few of these, anyone clicked "I have this problem too" recently? Get in touch here for a little discount off my ebay asking price - which will be less than the £15-50 going rate for a second hand one
Hi Trungvo47, I'd be super interested/grateful to hear any tips you picked up from your successful upgrade. With regards to the glass obviously - ifixit have us pretty well covered for the rest :) I know you posted 2 years ago but if you or anyone else can share success stories it'd be really good to people like me who have never owned a thing they didn't strip down for some reason at some point. %#*@ I hate these "disposable devices", no fun at all.
Edit: major lols @ the censorship of the word very similar to danm
