I'm bringing it to one other place that fixes macs in town here and see if they can do it - and figure out the true problem - which is most likely the backlight going dead. and that it would take 6-8 weeks (roughly) - which is not really a great option for me.
MACBOOK MODEL NUMBER A1181 CHARGER MAC
So I took my mac into Best Buy last night and they said that I would have to send it to Apple and they would most likely replace the entire screen. duh - Glad I figured that out before I went to Best Buy. I realized last night that yes, I do have an LCD screen - NOT an LED. Thank you so much for the specs!! I really appreciate it a lot! This Mac I've had for only a year and a half!Īny advice would be greatly GREATLY appreciated!!!!! My first Mac I ordered straight from Mac and never had issues - until it died - but had it for a long time. I got it at Best Buy and I hate to have them touch my Mac. Is there anything else that I can try before I bring it in? There isn't a Mac store by me. What I don't understand is that it's OBVIOUSLY not burnt out - so I'm assuming it has to be the inverter? cable? then after charging it up for a bit I gave it a shot and the light stayed on for the longest that it had (but keep in mind it was only a few minutes).Īfter letting it sit overnight I opened up my laptop this morning and it was the display light worked - but again for only a few minutes. Last resort was completely draining the battery which I did last night. I also "moved" the brightness control all the way down to off and then all the way up again which worked - but only for a few moments. I also tried putting the display to 1 min (under energy saver) and then wake it up after the minute past but that didn't do anything either. Then I tried removing the battery, holding the power button down for 5 secs, etc. I first tried the COMMAND+OPTION+P+R and it worked at first but the light went out again. Under a bright light I can see my screen so it's not the "black screen of death". I noticed that this has been an on-going issue for not only MacBook but other Mac products. I have been searching online since yesterday for any tips or help for this issue. Yesterday as I was in the middle of typing a response to an e-mail the backlight went out.
