    820-00850 dim backlight

    hi all,

    i'm working on macbook pro A1989 820-00850 that has dim backlight.
    means only when set the brightness from 50%-100% then the macbook has backlight. below 50% is no backlight.
    the board is clean, no sign of water damage.

    already change the lcd but still the same.

    do you guys had this problem before?

    Remove all power. Measure the resistance to ground of the backlight voltage pin.

    Do try a PRAM reset.

      PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT = 16 Mohms down to 6.6 Kohms down to O.L and circle again
      PPVIN_SW_LCDBKLT_SW = 10 Mohms
      LCDBKLT_FB = 151 Kohms
      PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT = 17 Mohms
      LCDBKLT_EN_L = 77Kohms
      LCDBKLT_FET_DRV_R = 20Kohms

          Sounds like a software issue.

          If you remain on the login screen -> display is bright ? (do not enter the login details to test)

          Can you test with a bootable USB media ?

          If the USB media boots normal and maintains the high intensity then it is down to the OS settings for your display.
