Internal display doesn't work, video out does & internal is detected.
My old MacBook a1278 doesn’t show a picture on the internal display. This is after replacing the thermal paste, which required me to remove the logic board, unplugging each cable connected to it.
I have tried to figure out what I have done wrong in the process of reassembling it, but I am clueless, hence this post.
I have tested various features to make sure they still worked, so I will list them here:
- Webcam works still, green light even turns on.
- Video out via DVI still works, in fact I’m typing this on the laptop in question.
The only thing I have not been able to get working is the internal display, which remains stubbornly blank, thought I will note that it does very briefly turn on, for about a fraction of a second at boot, displaying a slightly brighter shade of black than it does now without end.
Here are my specs, for the MacBook:
- Macbook 5,1
- 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 8 GB Ram
- 1 TB SSD
- Runs MacOS Catalina, 10.15.6, via DosDude’s Patcher
Another note, that I have been running Catalina with no problems for months beforehand, my display issue happened immediately after I reassembled the MacBook after replacing the thermal paste.
Not sure what else is necessary to list here, if I left out some important stuff let me know.
I will also mention that when I close the lid, the laptop goes to sleep, as if no display is plugged in.

Using a flashlight aimed through the Apple Logo in the lid do you see a faint image of your desktop & icons?

No, it’s just blank, though I can see the light shining through the logo on the back, I have no picture onscreen.
