An interesting case of a Macbook Black Screen Repair we had by post today in our Mac Repair workshop in Adelaide. This gorgeous 13″ 2017 Macbook Air came from north SA.

Upon opening, it was clear there was slight liquid damage on the LCD screen connector causing it to short the power lines of the screen. They carry 50V boosted voltage, causing significant damage when shorted.
