iSight Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard & AirPort Don't Work. Connector?
Hello everyone.
I know there's a similar question posted like this one, but mine's a little more extreme I think. Maybe someone can help.
So, I bought my 13" MacBook Pro off of eBay for parts. The original owner said that he'd torn the display off of the MacBook Pro. He made a REALLY crummy job at replacing the screen, giving is a really ugly Aluminum Unibody MacBook one that had a destroyed AirPort/ALS/iSight/Bluetooth cable and no AirPort/Bluetooth board.
Well, I bought a new screen (a MacBook Pro one) and it still doesn't use the iSight camera, AirPort, Bluetooth, or the Ambient Light Sensor, which naturally triggers the backlit keyboard.
I have looked at the connector on the logic board under a microscope at my work, and fiddled around with the prongs in it to make sure that they are straight, but nothing at all seems to help it. I've even used the pressurized air that we have at my work to get any particles blocking the connection out of the way. Nothing helps. I have plugged and unplugged the cables countless times, and it never seems to help.
So, I'm just hoping someone out there might have any ideas. Unfortunately, I have limited battery life on the MacBook Pro since it seems like the MagSafe board has gone bad as well. But I'm going to try reinstalling OS X tonight. Hopefully it'll do something! :)
Thanks everyone! Sorry for the extensive description!

Howdy all. Unfortunately, reinstalling the OS didn't solve the problem. I think there's just something permanently wrong with the connector on the logic board. I think I'll try removing it and replacing it. That is a little bit extreme, but if it helps . . . .

On another note, I took jvmoore1's advice and downloaded Lab Tick. It allows me to control the keyboard backlight independently from the ALS, so I know now that the keyboard backlight definitely works. That's a great thing! :)

By the way, I tried my display in a different computer, and everything works. So it's definitely the connector on the logic board. I'll try looking into that. Please ignore the INCREDIBLE inappropriate and immature response my mayer. That's completely rude.
