    2015 A1398 15" MBP no backlight

    Hi everyone, I have a 2015 A1398 with no backlight. The backlight circuit tests ok because I am getting around 53v on J8300 pin 1. I wanted to check the voltage on the screen side of the LVD cable, so I reconnected everything and the backlight works again. I am wondering if I got lucky or this is an intermittent issue.

    Thank you

      A1398 2015 820-00426 No image and display backlight before log in on macOS
      by prw07
      Image and display backlight are present while macOS is load but the display turns off before log in. The laptop is working (hear sounds), but without image and backlight. Internal LCD normal is worked in safe mode also when connect external LCD.

      I think the problem is with the integrated graphics iGPU.

      Is it possible to disable iGPU ?...

      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

      Macbook Air Early 2015 820-00165 No Backlight
      by Constantinos
      Hello everyone.
      I am trying to repair a friend's macbook air.
      The initial problems were that there was nothing on the display.
      The board was water damaged.
      After disassembly, I noticed that the fuse was still ok but there was a burned capacitor.
      After cleaning the entire board with IPA and replacing the capacitor (L8304 on schematics), I now have the picture without backlight.
      The macbook boots and everything works, except for the backlight
      There was considerable water damage around the u7701 chip
      I haven't repaired macbooks before, but after watching...

      Guide me through repairing a Dell p2210f LCD ccfl backlight monitor
      by DanPoka
      I bought this p2210f dell monitor to fix. Schematic is the same as p2210.
      Behaviour is that monitors comes on but then backlight switches off almost instantly. If I look with flashlight I can still find the "No signal message". So definitely a backlight issue. Trying to advance the issue I proved that the protection circuit is switching off the backlight by shorting out C3 and resistor to disable the INL chip then re enable by removing the short.
      This is where it gets interesting. When I disassembled the monitor to solder leads on c3 capacitor I noticed the backlight flickered...
