Backlight Failure
Display cable and backlight inverter failure after 13–16 years — the large A1297 screen appearing very dim or completely dark.
Impact Cracks
Physical cracking of the A1297's large 17-inch panel from drops — the size makes the lid particularly vulnerable.
GPU Artefacts
Visual artefacts, lines, or colour corruption on the A1297 display — may indicate the known 2011 AMD GPU failure.
