    MacBook Pro 2011 turns on with keyboard light , screen dead

    Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
    I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
    Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
    is this the enable pin?
    can somebody with experience help, I'm a bit of a novice & not really too experienced.
    i have a multimeter & some basic knowledge & am willing to learn , please be kind as I'm very entry level but keen to advance my knowledge.
    ps: sorry if it's been asked multiple times & I tried searching for answers & no luck

    also am aware of bad amd gpu on these & have baked this guy in oven & no luck , also checked board for damage or corrosion & nothing appear wrong.
    does beep with no ram & does boot to os as far as I can tell with disc spinning & keyboard lit up .

    is the gpu dead & if so should it still be booting up ?

    if gpu is dead should the screen have no lights ? Including backlight?

    cheers

          iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
          by smic717394
          Hi,

          I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
          by Ryan.man
          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

          Macbook pro 15" 820-2915-B 2011 A1286 boot on but black screen
          by resistor83
          Hi everyone, I have this 2011 MacBook Pro 15" model 820-2915-B which has a problem.
          I turn it on, the startup sound is heard but the screen doesn't turn on, not even the backlight. The keyboard lights up after a while and the capslock works. If I press any key I can hear sounds as if the system is booting.

          I thought it was a screen problem but after changing it the problem remains.

          What could I do?

          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
          by Stephen
          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

          MacBook Air M1 A2337 Screen Replacement - keeping TrueTone
          by MagJ_
          Hello Everybody,

          I have a cracked screen and want to fix it. Usually, TrueTone will be gone as long as one does not prune open the screen and exchange only the LCD. However, I have seen the following Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNqhp6p_ZM, Solve MacBook M1 Pro screen true tone issue from the channel Master Liu, where only two chips called "display control chip" and "code chip" are swapped over to the new screen. I know, it is for the MacBookPro version. Though, I had the hope that it could work similarly for the MacBook Air as well.
