    1. M1 can turn off image creation if spi_tcon_clk_conn is not ground (this is why seller's flex shorted)

    2. such way if screen lcd has some (!!temporary) failure (mainly lcd <->tcon connection problems/ short) then M1 senses it and stops sending imagd to LCD even backlight exists

    3. on earlier T2 after glitch LCD was recoveryng automatically (continue to show image), on M1 - no more, :-(

    so solution is to make some button which shorts spi_tcon_clk_conn to ground and try to play with it. because after reboot M1 restores image creation (until spi_tcon_clk_conn is good), but reboot is not solution

    any ideas?
    So is the screen blanking out due to a bad flex cable? Has anyone been able to remove the lcd without cracking it? If so what is the secret? I've done 4 of these already and have never successfully been able to remove the adhesive without cracking the lcd. I've tried heat as well, it actually made it worse.

        do you have a link? I can't find any that cheap

        I got this screen to come back with the opening and closing dance again....turning promotion down to 47hz helped. it was working for around 5 hours today. then I switched it back to promotion and it went off again after 15 minutes 🤷

          can be liquid damage of TCON board/or motherboard. but you cannot remove LCD without damage. what left? use WD-40, sometimes it helps

          ps. wd-40 can make stain on screen. be aware

            MacBook Pro A2442, board 820-0298-A, no backlight
            by survivalbloke
            I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2442, board 820-0298-A. This device was liquid damaged and had no power. After I repaired the liquid damage, I find the device powers on and works with external video, but backlight is not working.

            Anyway, I really want to improve my fault tracing skills, instead of having to rely on others to always tell me where to look and what to check. In this case, I have a question about navigating schematics. If I wanted to trace the backlight power circuit, how do I find where that circuit begins? If I search for "lcd" in the schamtic, it is listed...

            Macbook Pro 820-01814 no image or backlight
            by Roccolade
            Hi! I'm a bit new to this whole repair world. But this is what i'm working on:

            A Macbook Pro A1990 (820-01814) from 2018. It has no image – or backlight for that matter.

            No history of liquid spills or anything. It's fully functional on external monitor - and the webcam works.. But it doesn't seem like the internal display is even detected.

            Sometimes the backlight lights up, when booting into recovery mode. (No image still)
            That's the only progress I've gotten.

            I tested the panel on another Macbook, and the display worked perfectly....

            Macbook Air 2020 13” model: A2337 backlight is on but no image
            by arevut
            Hi all! MacBook Air A2337. There are no traces of liquid or obvious damage, the motherboard is visually in perfect condition. The image is displayed on the external screen, but only the backlight works on the internal screen. There is no image, and the camera on the built-in screen does not work. How to exclude during diagnostics that it is the screen that is broken and not the motherboard? What signals should be present on the connector with the screen removed and connected?

            No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
            by Comp_Pro
            Hello all,

            Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

            Tests performed:

            There is no backlight even with a good screen.
            Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
            Fuse F8400 ok
            Current sense resistor R8400 ok
            Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
            Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
            Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
            Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
            I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

            Macbook Air A1466 no backlight no image
            by imcool
            Hello,
            On this Macbook Air A1466 with 820-00165
            I have only 8V on backlight line but no high voltage in boost circuit, I have checked all components like caps and diode and they seems to be ok.

            I have noticed that when macbook chimes after turning on there is no image at all even with flash light,

            I have tried 2 different OEM LCD and still there is no image,
            I see the LCD fades out when i remove power or turn off the macbook.

            I have 2 problems
            1 No image
            2 No backlight, but i have 8VDC on backlight circuit.
