Hi, so I recently bought a 10.1 LCD display. It’s actually for a Raspberry Pi unit I have. I have also a 2007 MacBook logic board just the logic board and its LCD display which is working I bought a HDMI cable and mini-DVI to HDMI adapter which I plugged into my LCD displays controller board, I then plugged in HDMI cable to the HDMI port and put the mini-DVI adapter into my MacBooks mini-DVI port and switch on the LCD display but nothing shows up on it. I also contacted the seller and he said that it doesn’t support 1680 x 1050 so if anyone knows what I can do to get picture on my LCD screen that would be great thamks. Also i have a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and that also didn’t work either.
To clarify what you have: You have a bare MacBook logic board without a display which you want to get to work. The LCD display you have has a HDMI connection on it. So you connected a HDMI cable which then connects to the mini HDMI to mini-DVI adapter to the MacBook’s mini-DVI connector. Are you sure the logic board is working? Do you have the original display, keyboard and the trackpad from the system? You do need to start off with these parts making sure the MacBook is working with a SATA drive running OS-X which it supports.
