    Macbook Air A1466 no backlight no image

    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.

    I have checked and verified the lcd connector diode mode values with working macbook air and they are exact same.

    I am not sure how to proceed on this or its some other issue and I am wasting time on fixing backlight.

    Can someone with their experience help me out please.
    Thank you so much

      Hey, easy. If you want some sort of output (in this situation backlight) just check enable signals check bklt_en and bklt_pwm signals on board, then you will know if board wants to turn on backlight

              No, first lets check if these signals are present, if they are. Then we need to fix bklt circuit, maybe there is an image, you just cant see somehow. Because when you turn off macbook, you said that lcd fades out, that means, that lcd is getting power is recognized and should show something.

                  Macbook A1466 - no backlight
                  by survivalbloke
                  MacBook Air A1466 board 820-000165 - I've got no backlight. Backlight fuse is fine, and I've got 8.5v on that one. I replaced the backlight driver with one from a donor board but no results. I've also swapped the screen but still no backlight. What else can be checked?

                  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 Backlight comes on for less then 1 second.
                  by sikocan
                  Hi all, I'm going crazy and can't figure this one out.
                  MacBook Air A1466
                  Board: 820-00165

                  Issue: Backlight comes on for a split second - then off. I can capture the 26V on the Oscilloscope before it disappears. Picture is fine and OS boots fine.

                  I've replaced the following:
                  4 Different screens
                  4 U7701
                  1 D7701
                  1 Q7706
                  1 Q7707

                  I've inspected LVDS connector - it looks good.
