Hello guys, After a water spill, the MacBook Pro backlight stopped working. if I light the screen with a flashlight I can see everything there working, so I think is not a display issue (as the water came through the keyboard). I’ve seeing some answers about this, and I think it has to do with the fuse (Data Cable?) or the pin 1 of the LCD connector. This is my computer info: MacBook Pro 15.4" - Late 2013 Serial: C02LW42UFD56 Model #: A1398 Sales Number: ME293LL/A, ME294LL/A Logic Board Serial: 820-3662-03 Any ideas guys? Thank you so much! :D
Hi there. It’s unfortunate your computer fell victim to a liquid incident. However, your best bet would be to replace the LCD panel, or just the entire display assembly. I’d go with the latter, although it is quite a costly part. It is much easier than attempting to pry your LCD out of the frame. If possible, go to a local repair shop as they might even be a cheaper alternative or have various other methods for fixing the backlight.
How confident are you with repairing something like this yourself?
