Hi,
I just wanted to see if there was an update on this thread. I have a similar issue, i have a A1237 and just repaired the right hinge, and after putting it all back together, I get a white screen at start up, and on the right side of the LCD i get vertical multi-colored stripes that run up and down the entire side of the screen.
I wonder if it is as simple as the LCD cable? I hate to tear it back down.
I am also wondering if I applied too much pressure on the LCD screen and caused this issue???
