Internal Display no backlight, External Monitor NOT working
Hey all,
So something happened with the Macbook Pro 2019 13" (no touchbar!) of my GF. (its apparently the day of dead macbooks here at home)
I wanted to connect an external monitor connected via a HDMI -> USB-C Adapter to the Mac. At this point, the internal screen was working fine, but the external was not getting detected(yesterday it was still working). I closed the lid of the macbook, and removed the HDMI cable...
Drama: when opening the lid, the internal screen was black.
I did SMC reset, PRAM Reset, couple of restarts, nothing changed. However, the Mac is alive, as I can play songs on Spotify (it opens automatically) and I see all the ICONS when lighting the screen with a flashlight. So the OS is working. I can even start Excel etc..
But yeah the background light is not working anymore. And the External Monitor(tested 2 working ones!) also gets nothing. Its not even detected.
I have read about people having problems with the flex cable and no background light of the internal screen, but I think it is strange that even an external one is not working.
It can't be a graphical hardware problem, because otherwise I would not be able to see the icons and everything else with my flashlight? But having no external monitor getting detected makes me questioning about a hardware failure...
What happened and what else could I do ?
Many thanks !
