Screen Failure - options to diagnose the problem.
Hello,
I have a black screen on a macbook pro retina late 2013.
I already tried all the software fix like resetting NVRAM and SMC.
i’m trying to find a way to be sure it’s a harware failure from the screen.
The computer works fine since it’s booting and i can link it to a tv to see the desktop, so it’s not the graphic card either.
The computer got water spilled from the ceiling on the left side of the screen and it got all the way inside through the keyboard. The water quantity was very small, still the mac gave out instantly. Now it’s rebooting fine but without the screen.
I would like to find if the screen is done for good or if the connexion to the logic board is screwed. After opening the mac nothing seems to point that the logic board or the display cables have suffered.
I have a working screen from a mid-2012 macbook pro i could install for testing but i dont know if it’s compatible. On the Ifixit shop the two screens have 50 dollard of price difference, although it has the same spec, also i dont want to mess with my working macbook.
I know i could launch the apple diagnosis but it seems i cant make it display on another screen via HDMI.
Any ideas to rules out possibilities ?
Thanks for reading.

Hi, I got the same issue.
MacBook a1278
black screen, no spills or ever been dropped.
done all of the usual resets, but pressing keyboard combinations, works fine with external display and I can see the screen when I shine a light at the back on the logo, could this be just a faulty fuse, at one stage I was thinking it was the lcd cable connector or the screen it self, but I guess if it was, my screen would not have any images.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, seem to me that your backlight circuit might be at fault. When i got that problem i tried all i could to find what it was exactly was at fault on the motherboard, i was sure it was the backlight fuse ! well, how naive of me ! when i checked it with a multimeter it was fine, just fine.
Actually you need some real skill and understanding to exactly find real problems, and at some point, i just putted everything in looking for a real reparator with the right tools, not some software fixer that you can find at every streetcorner.
Actually even with that i couldnt make it fixed, since in my case, more that just the backlight circuit was screwed in the end.
In your case it could be just the fuse, or not at all ! Anyway even if it's just the fuse, replacing half a milimeter component is just too risky to do yourself with a big ass soldering iron. You could find the right tools somewhere like a hot air station, but even then you could also find someone who is proficient in using it too.
