@Wayne - the product page for the left fan has many options depending on what model you have. You may have selected the wrong option or we may have accidentally sent you a different one. I'd advise contacting our customer support department and they'll help figure it out.

I ordered a left fan unit for my powerbook Pro 17", but there is a difference in the conectors. The PBM fan uses white larger connectors than the logic board can accept. The video shows the type my logic board supports but the cables are in a different location and can't reach the logic board connector.

I have a pro a1212 that has a black screen (flashesthen turns off), no chime, the MagSafe connector is a dim green, and the front sleep light turns on that fades away. Any ideas anyone?

@Anne - I would try the inverter cable next. It may have gotten damaged and is shorting out in the hinge area. It may have even killed the replacement inverter board.

I have an A1212 whose backlight isn't working. You can see the images on the screen using a secondary light source and the computer is still outputting video to an external monitor with no problem. I replaced the inverter and the display worked fine for several hours but then quit again. It has, a few times, randomly come on upon boot but always dims to black after a few minutes. There's no discoloration or lines or anything when it is on or fading. Should I try to replace the inverter cables or do you think there may be another issue? (I should probably also note that the laptop was dropped about a foot while splayed open and the lid will no longer stay closed due to tension at the hinges. The display only stopped working correctly after someone took the laptop apart in an attempt to fix the lid closing issue.)

@koocm - yes you can use the same tape. The A1261 has some slight differences, but you should be able to figure it out going by this guide.
