I recently swapped the display in my Macbook Late 2006. It was cracked and I found a cheap working display on eBay . The Macbook boots okay but the display remains white. I connected an external monitor and the Macbook works fine with that. Do you think it’s a faulty display? Or is it possible I have connected the display cables incorrectly?
Sounds like you got the wrong display assembly. While they look the same they are not the same! MacBook 13.3" Core 2 Duo Display AssemblyMacBook 13.3" Santa Rosa/Penryn Display Assembly
