Powerbook Medic 4 months ago	@Ricardo - it is very very rare for the hard drive to cause a video problem. It should at least come up with the Apple logo on boot. You most likely have multiple issues. You can request a repair quote to speak to one of our techs and once you get that started you can send pictures to that tech.

Ricardo Andrés Rodríguez rincon 4 months ago	Good night , I have that laptop and yesterday ir happened that my brother had let it fallen down against the floor. Now it is a mess because in The córner it recieved the strenght of The impact , córner in which it's located The hard drive ( I guess) . The impact Also affected The screen I have The picture but i do not how to explain it I guess that it still works because there is not plasma ink everywhere but it is broken in The córner it has one líne 1 inch of fragmentation. The problem increases because while I turn it on it begins to sound wierd a nasty alarm that i supposse it has to do with The hard drive and it Also is a white led smaller than The other one which I know is for hibernation. I have The following question , if There is something wrong with The hard drive it does not let The screen to turn on?
Powerbook Medic 6 months ago	@Kevin - it should be fairly visible in the video. If you don't think you can do it, you can send it to us to repair.
Kevin 6 months ago	I need to replace the battery cable in my 2008 unibody 13" Macbook. I can't figure out how to access the cable. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Powerbook Medic 6 months ago	@Djan - we don't have a pinout for that. It is best to try a new battery and if that doesn't work, a new logic board. We offer a free diagnosis if you'd rather send it to us to figure out the issue.
Djan 6 months ago	I spilled sweet white wine on my macbook pro, hd was damaged, I replaced it, can't work from the battery since, I took it to the genius store, they told me the logic board needs to be replaced, how can I check if my battery/logic board is indeed broken, what voltages should i be reading on the pins on the logicboard where my battery connects.. Thanks! regards, Djan
Powerbook Medic 8 months ago	@Michael - it is most likely a fried logic board. You can send it to us for a diagnosis or you can open it up yourself and look for corrosion damage.
