Dead Backlight on MacBook Pro Screen 15 inch Mid 2012
Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, the backlight on my Macbook Pro has died. After some research, I think the culprit is a burnt fuse. I stupidly set down my laptop on what I later realized was a wet surface (it wasn't soaking wet or anything, but apparently wet enough). The display suddenly went black after a few minutes and hasn't turned back on, even after SMC/PRAM resets.
I tried plugging in an external monitor, and sure enough, it works fine. I took a flashlight and shone it on the dead display. I can see everything, leading me to believe it is indeed the screen backlight that's the issue.
I did a lot of research, but I can't really find any answers on how to go about diagnosing the exact issue and going on to fix it. Does anyone know roughly how much a Genius bar repair would cost? Is it even worth it? My laptop will be 5 years old in a few months, and has a lot of other issues as well (like a dead keyboard that I'm using a bluetooth keyboard to get around and a battery that needs replacing). On the other hand, I did just invest several hundred dollars into other repairs in the last year like a new SSD and new chargers, so if I'd be happy if I don't have to write it off.
Questa è una buona domanda?
