What causes the MacBook screen not working?

Apple MacBook screens are a high-quality and very reliable product. Most of the time, they won't go wrong for no reason unless they have been suffered from physical impacts or exposed to liquid. You can easily notice a physical-damaged MacBook screen such as a cracked screen. You can see the image as well as the cracks. In this situation, you definitely need a MacBook screen replacement.

Other display issues such as a black screen or dim images are harder to diagnose, as the screen itself and the video chip on the logic board would equally contribute to the symptoms. If your MacBook screen has the following symptoms, you need professional advice before replacing the screen.

1. Intermittent flickering screen

2. Grey or Black screen

3. Vertical lines or Horizontal lines

4. Screen no backlight

MacBook Screen Repairs

A completed MacBook screen assembly consists of an LCD panel, a webcam and a wifi antenna. An older MacBook screen assembly also has a front glass and an in-built wifi card. If your screen display is working fine, only the webcam or the Wifi antenna is not functional; you may not have to replace the entire screen assembly. We can repair the faulty components for you to lower your repair bill. This type of MacBook screen repair will cost $100 to $200, depending on the MacBook models.

MacBook Pro screen repairs

There are two types of MacBook Pro screens: retina screen and non-retina screen. A MacBook Pro manufactured in 2012 or before comes with a non-retina screen. The models include A1278, A1286 and A1297. A MacBook Pro manufactured in 2012 onwards comes with a retina screen. The models include A1425, A1502, A1398, A1706, A1707, A1708, A1989, A1990, A2141, A2159, A2171.

If you have a non-retina MacBook Pro screen, we can replace the broken front glass panel, broken or burned screen cable, faulty webcam or the faulty wifi card/antenna at a low cost without replacing the whole screen assembly.

If you have a retina screen, we can replace the broken or burned screen cable. Please note that this type of screen repair will only apply to MacBook models A1425, A1502 and A1398. The screen cables in the retina screen manufactured in 2016 onwards are not replaceable.

Apple original MacBook screen vs third-party screen

When you need to replace the MacBook screen, you may need to make a decision between using an Apple original screen or a cheaper third-party screen. We compare an Apple original screen with a third-party screen side by side shown in the following photo to help you better understand the differences.

Apple original MacBook screen vs third-party screen

The above two MacBook Pro A1708 were manufactured in 2017. Both MacBooks use the same background picture and set the brightness to maximum. The screen on the right-hand side is an Apple original screen; the one on the left-hand side is a third-party screen purchased online. You can tell the differences straightforward by the quality of the images. Here we discuss the technical details.

A MacBook screen consists of two major components, an LCD panel and a strip of LED lights called backlights. The LCD panel creates the image. The LED lights illuminate the image from behind the LCD panel. There are major differences between an original Apple screen and a third-party screen as outlined here:

1. Backlight purity. Apple uses high-quality LEDs as backlight sources. The backlight is pure white. On the other hand, the backlight of the third-party screen is bluish. The bluish backlight degrades the vivid picture dramatically.
2. Backlight brightness. High-quality LEDs provide brighter lights and remain near the same brightness over time, even after a few years. Low-quality LEDs not only produce bluish light but also have brightness degradation problems. The brightness of some third-party screens may only maintain half of the original brightness after a year of use.
3. Photo sharpness. The Apple original screen produces a much sharper image thanks to the high quality of the LCD panel, as you can see on the right-hand side of the above photo.

We strongly recommend using Apple original screen if you have the budget.
