Thanks guys for all your help, I ran thru the diagnostics in the repair guide which was extremely helpful btw. Now i'm just waiting on the slow mail to get across the pond to the sandbox so I can get to cracking on this repair. I figured first thing is I will try to hook up the new display straight to the logic board before installing it and see if i get a picture, if not then I go into replacing LVDS cable, if nothing then I just replace logic board which i have already acquired. By the time this thing is said and done, I will rebuild this entire macbook on my own! Again, thanks...I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome!!
