Needless to say, I finally did it. I finally got my Macbook's inverter working again. I now have millions* of colours! Also, while I had the machine disassembled, I managed to shove my 1 gigabyte memory sticks into its anorexic memory slots. So now I have 2 gigabytes of memory now. I was actually just about to swap the original 60 gig hard drive for a 80 gig but decided not to waste my 80 since it has a legit Windows 7 key on it and the 20 extra gigs are not enough to warrant an upgrade. I might as well port the hard drive to another laptop (ie: upgrade other netbooks).
I did encounter a weird problem. The screen flickers on and off whenever I boot into its original setup. So I deleted the original partition and started with a fresh install of Snow Leopard. It needed an upgrade and I had the Snow Leopard disk since Christmas, I just never got around since the machine was in different stages of working. I'm currently waiting for the install to finish so I check if everything is working.
At the moment, I'm hopeful.
