With Macbooks, it often requires replacing the entire lid, screen and all, and sometimes the main board. Take it to an Apple repair shop for diagnosis and estimate and then decide if its worth saving | |

Added the results of a test conducted connecting the MacBook to an external monitor

I connected the MacBook to my projector, I restarted it and put the password (on the black screen, hoping I was doing it correctly) AND I CAN SEE MY DESKTOP AGAIN THROUGH THE PROJECTION! Thank you so much for giving me this idea. What should I do now? How can I fix the screen? | |
