I don’t believe it detects any of the three unfortunately. Initially thought it was just WiFi and Bluetooth (Airport card) issue, however I’ve noticed that the iSight camera is not detected as well, which leads me to believe the cable is the issue, I’m not a pro however. I tried plugging in the cable multiple times (slightly different angles) but no bueno. I received the laptop like this, always had these issuesPrior to my attempt we took it to best buy, included below, best buy quoted something ridiculous from what I remember, 350+This system doesn’t seem to be able to boot into hardware test Was hoping for some insight. I’ve included some pics. Thanks in advance!
You can try replacing the display assembly. If you don’t care much for the looks of it, even iFixit has a couple of pretty cheap C-grade display assemblies for sale. Replacement is quite straightforward, only torx and philips screwdrivers are needed. If that wouldn’t solve the issues you’d have a faulty connector on the board, but you should be able to verify its conditions before purchase. Here’s the needed part: MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Mid 2009-Mid 2010) Display Assembly
Let’s try this run the onboard diagnostics, restart your system and press the D key hopefully diagnostics will run on your system, Apple messed up a firmware update and some systems diagnostics is not working. Take note of any error messages and codes and let us know. Reference: Mac startup key combinations
