Screen will not light up unless external video is connected

Metin:

Hi!  I've got an odd 15" aluminum that will not show video on its own screen unless it is connected to external video, in which case it comes on, and the external screen works fine as well.  I've tried cycling through the external display modes, and booting up in each one.  I've tried resetting the PMU, which works, but the machine's PRAM will not reset -- it just sits on a black screen endlessly.  It's a shame, because I think a PRAM reset would probably fix the issue.  I've tried another topcase/keyboard.  I've tried having a hard drive installed vs no hard drive.

Occasionally, just randomly, the screen will light up with no external video attached, but it seems to be about one of 10 attempts, and like I stated, randomly, and not in response to anything in particular.

I'd hate to conclude that this is a bad board, and it seems like there must be a fix.  It seems as if something is "stuck".  Anyone know how to reset the PRAM without the keyboard?  There are power and PMU power-on pads, but none for PRAM that I know of.

Thanks
