MacBook Screen Completely Black
MacBook appears to be on (keyboard lit, fan running) but the display shows nothing — backlight failure or display cable fault.
Faint Image Visible in Bright Light
You can see a very faint image when holding the screen under a bright light — this is classic backlight failure, not a full display fault.
Screen Goes Black After Opening Lid
MacBook display works briefly then goes black when the lid is opened fully — display flex cable damaged at hinge point.
Flickering Then Black
Display flickers and then goes permanently black — often a failing display cable or backlight driver circuit.
External Monitor Works But Built-in Doesn't
MacBook works fine on an external display but the built-in screen is black — confirms the issue is display hardware, not logic board or GPU.
