When I opened my MacBook Pro, all I saw was a dark screen. Backlight is on and keyboard is on, I think (caps lock lights up at least). Restarted by holding power key, no change. Safe restart (hold Shift) — same thing. Am pretty sure this is a dead hardware issue — off to Apple with it, But thought maybe someone here would have an idea.
Update: I hooked up a second display (HDMI TV) and it works, so pretty clear that it’s the display hardware on the MacBook. I’ll use Duet to set up my iPad as a second display and limp along until I can get it fixed.
Additional suggestions welcome.
Some models had issues with the display cable. Only fix for that is to replace the cable.
Great answers. Thanks, all.
A week later, it started working again. No apparent reason.
But now it says the battery needs service.
I’ll reset the MPU when I get home but I don’t expect much…
