Chosen Solution
The backlight to my macbook display isn’t lighting up. I know I get video, because if I hold up a flashlight against the Apple logo on the back of the display I can see my login screen in the front. I was thinking it could be the backlight fuse, but I dont know where its located on the logic board?
Hello Jstervil, It may very well be the backlight filter. There is not a user replaceable “Fuse”. The backlight filter is a soldered on SMD “surface mounted device” and will require microsoldering skills nd a lot of specialized equipment to repair. This, sadly, is not a DIY repair. Call around a few shops in your area and see who would be willing to take on that job. Get several quotes though as they could range significantly. Hope that helps, Holger
