    Need help 820-00923 no backlight Newbie here

    Hello there, newbie here

    Have a MacBook pro to repair with no backlight. Thought that it was a faulty screen, so tested with good known working screen but still no backlight. There are no liquid signs at all on the board, the board looks clean as new.

    So started tracing all power rails and spot that PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT was missing after Q8400 so found and replaced faulty capacitor C8473 and that fixed this rail but still have no backlight.

    Started investigating further and spot that U8400 LCDBKLT_FET_DRV is 0V and it can't open Q8401. So is it a U8400 faulty or the issue could be somewhere else ?

    These are the readings from U8400:
    LCDBKLT_SW - 0.12V
    GND_BKLT_SGND - 0V
    LCDBKLT_FET_DRV - 0V
    PP5V_S0_BKLT_D - 5.13V
    ISNS_LCDBKLT_N - 13.03V
    ISNS_LCDBKLT_P - 13.03V
    BKLT_SD - 9.32V
    BKLT_PWM_KEYB - 0v
    BKLT_SCL - 4.61V
    BKLT_SDA - 4.52V
    BKLT_EN_R - 3.34V
    PP5V_S0_BKLT_A - 5.13V
    BKLT_SENSE_OUT - 0V
    LCDBKLT_FB - 11.19V
    GND_BKLT_SGND - 0V

    Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

    P.S. The MacBook starts and works perfectly just no backlight, I can see Apple logo and so on.

    UN65TU700DF picture and sound but no backlight. BL tests ok but repl. PSU didnt fix!
    by triplefour
    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...

    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...

    iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen Backlight Issue
    by cheebster
    Hello, got an iPad Pro A2378 12.9 5th gen with no backlight. Got another test unit without screen, tested the screen, still no backlight with the test unit.
    Figured out the backlight on the screen was bad, ordred a new backlight from mobilesentrix, *carefully replaced it* without damaging the lcd, oh well.
    Final result, issue is still there, the screen has no back lights. So i'm back to square one, with 3 hours less and 100$ out, issue still on the screen.
    The panel is still ok, i can see the apple in the middle of the screen when it kicks in, just no backlight.
    Anyone...

    LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
    by canadaboy25
    Hi all,

    I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

    I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
