Ok, i decided to try the reflow procedure, since it was working for many other users who have tried it! So i covered the MBPro in a blanket and turned it on for 40min, it got quite hot! Then i shut it down and restarted it, it booted fine without any issues and worked as if it was brand new! Just to make sure i restarted it a couple of times, all seemed it was ok! Of course im not expecting this to last for ever, but in case it doesn't work again, il go straight in replacing the logic board!

I got a cable (dvi to hdmi) to check the display on an lcd tv. Just to be safe,i first plugged it in an older laptop of mine (powerbook g4), just to be certain on what will i be expecting to see! But now i think i got more mixed up cause i can only see the PowerBooks desktop wall paper... is that right?

Guys, forget about the issue with the older laptop, it was just a matter of screen arrangement. I connected the dvi2hdmi cable to the MBPro model and there was nothing to display on the lcd tv. So what is the verdict now?
