Chosen Solution
I recently upgraded my HDD, and when I went to put my display cable back into it’s port on the board, it has a blank screen and occasionally a fan runs fast. The LED troubleshooting lights only have 3 out of the 4 lit up, indicating a problem with the LCD display. I get a chime upon boot, but the fans and the HDD remain active. I checked out the Logic board and it does not have any damage. I can only assume that it is the cable itself since the pins on the MLB side somehow get slightly bent whenever I try to insert to the board. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, because obviously I am doing something wrong when I insert the cable in the port and the pins get bent. Is there a better way to reattach the cable to the port without damaging the pins on the cable?
I had to get someone in with much smaller hands to do this. The cable length is to short for a full grown man. This thing must be assembled by 4’ 10" small Chinese women. UPDATE Really, I got a tech with much smaller hands and I held the display while they inserted the cable.
