Re: Mid-2009 MBP A1278 820-2530

After checking the board some more, I'm missing LVDS_IG_PANEL_PWR.

Could this be a GPU issue?

Hi,

I've been using this laptop for 7 years and then out of nowhere, I came home one day and it was turned off. I went to boot it back up and received a kernel panic right on the apple screen:

Hey, I came about this site by researching why one of the FETs on my macbook motherboard failed. I can't afford a new laptop and this one has been good to me for 7 years and other than the fact it doesn't currently work, it was a great platform for my coding and developing projects and I miss it dearly .

I've done a lot of tinkering with other electronics and was just starting up my own website (solderandflux.com) when my laptop died.
