Hello iFixers, I have a problem. I replaced the total screen from a Macbook Pro. The lcd was defect, so i bought a used product from the Ebay: A1278 EMC 2326 GENUINE APPLE LCD DISPLAY 13.3 ASSEMBLY A1278 EMC 2326 It is the model: ~VIN,MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) When i received the screen i noticed that the text on the screen was ‘Macbook’ and not ‘Macbook Pro’. The connection are all the same and the screen does work. But the sleep function doesn’t work. If i close the screen, the light stays on. What could be the problem? Please let me know Thanx !
You never know what you’re going to get off eBay. This unit may have been opened and the wrong replacement glass put on, But you don’t know what else was done. Frankly I’d return it and get one from a reputable parts supplier. The magnets that activate the sleep mode may be missing or this could be from a different user. Would you tell us why you replaced the display?
i replaced my macbook pro’s lcd with one from a macbook from the same year. just like your situation, everything works just fine but it doesn’t sleep automatically when the lid is closed. i’m looking for some specific insight on why this happens so i can try to come up with a workaround - i’ll look into the magnets first
