Burnt chip? White screen but external monitor works.
Hi, new here and I’m facing a pretty annoying problem.
I’ve had my MacBook Pro late 2011 2.4 for a few years and I love it. Issue is my screen cracked a few months ago but was still working fine.
Recently, in the past two or three weeks, it stopped working. All I got was a grey screen like it is with the apple logo but no logo. I got really worried because I had bought a new SSD and increased my ram for a speed boost AND when the screen stopped working bought a new screen but no luck.
I tried all the button combinations, nothing worked.
Tried taking the cable off and wiping it clean, nothing. The only way I can use my laptop is with an external screen.
I’m pulling my hair trying to figure it out until two days ago I was looking very closely at the logic board and realized there was a bit of a burn mark near the video cable, a little below it. Could this be the issue?
Do I have to replace my logic board? Is it possible to resolder or replace the chip?
If I have to replace the board should or could I upgrade to the 2012 2.9?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Could this possibly be the fix?
I was looking at the board the other day and noticed the 2nd pin was actually off the board and loose. I pulled it out with a tweaser after I couldn’t get the ribbon to fit properly. I have a donor board from 2009 for extra resistors.
