ifixit is a great place to find help for your problematic electronics so let’s try to keep it organized for everyone’s sake ! different year and models may have different and or similar behaviours when problems occur and therefore we need to be organized . So please only post in this thread if you have the SAME YEAR MacBook as original post . Make a new thread with your model and year so it’s easy for other people to quickly find relevant solutions . Also please keep things factual , your feelings , intuitions and opinions are very important but they just confuse , mislead and bloat the troubleshooting thread ! Example year : 2011 Model : MacBook Pro 15inch version of OS X : 10.4.1 issue : trackpad working but options not showing up in settings Tried : changing battery Result : didn’t fix issue tried : reinstalling operating system 10.4.0 result : successful

Guys I have you ever thought about putting the crappy tape they had placed over the lvds connector !?! :)
