Macbook Backlight Repair

Macbook Backlight Repair is needed when we have a Macbook which turns on but the screen stays black.

We can quickly and easily diagnose this by ourselves by shining a torch on the screen. For instance, some Macbook models built before 2017 have a glass Apple logo. Shining a torch through the back shows the problem immediately. This way, we can see if the whole screen is not functioning or if only the backlight is missing.

As seen in the picture, when we shine a torchlight with these models, we can actually diagnose if there is indeed a backlight issue.

What causes backlight problems on Macbooks?

The main cause of this damage would be a water spillage on the LCD connector unless there were an intervention from the user. For example, trying to disconnect the screen and have shorted it accidentally.
Additionally, this connector is pretty close to the charging port on these models, and a little water spillover over the Macbook is enough to damage it. This can cause a Macbook Backlight Problem and would require a Macbook Backlight Repair.

Sometimes we are lucky and can get away with shorted backlight fuse, although it is very rare.
However, most of the cases we have is a shorted Macbook backlight chip causing voltage not to be boosted enough to supply a backlight. In a case like this, we need to replace the Backlight chip.

On some occasions, it also can be caused by the screen connector or screen itself (especially with new generation USB-C type Macbooks).

Most of the time, we will have to replace the screen, although we can sometimes repair the connector, as in the example below.

Repaired, not Replaced!

We are committed to reducing e-waste in Australia. How we do it is by educating our customers on the reparability and longevity of their devices, as well as providing affordable Macbook Repairs here in Adelaide.
Although our best intentions and hard work, this is not an easy task. Customers must accept that cost of high-quality electronic repairs, is between a third and half of the price of a new device. However, with the current trend of planned obsolescence in electronic design, we see more and more Macbooks having shorter lifespans. To tackle that, while we do our repairs we target common planned obsolescence engineering design mistakes to ensure we extend the life expectancy of the Macbooks we repair. Check some of our Macbook Repair Cases to get an idea of the process.

That said, if we buy a new one or write it off via insurance, it does not guarantee that the new one will not meet the same fate as the older one pretty soon.
As matter of fact, quite often we see accidents reoccurring within less than 2-year gaps. If we can save 2000$ or even 1000$ today by repairing our faulty Macbook is brilliant. That’s an extra half Macbook cost ready to be spent on another one when the time comes or our need for performance increases.
When that time comes is up to us to buy a new one or keep pushing the one we have, but delaying it by a year or three is always a good starting point and saves another abandoned Macbook from polluting our one and only Planet.
