Hi everyone,I’ve got a Late 2013 Macbook 13" Retina and the screen just suddenly stopped working without any apparent reason. There is no light coming from the screen, but plugging an external monitor works well and the camera of screen works as well.I’ve tried SMC and PRAM resets, unplugging and plugging the screen cable from the logic board, but all of this didn’t fix it.Would you have an idea of where this problem is coming from?Thanks a a lot!
I think you’ve proved the issue is within the display, but to be sure place a lit flashlight shining through the lids Apple logo do you see the faint image of your desktop and it’s icons? If you do the issue is really within the logic board backlight power circuit and you may have an issue within the display its self as well. I’ve often seen people who spray a cleaner onto the display don’t consider where the drips go at the bottom. This is where the display cable connects to and gets corroded and might even be shorting out!
