Why does the screen turn black when it's over 30 degree angle?

When I open my macbook pro 2016 with a small angle, like less than 30 degree, the screen will light up normall.

But when I try to open it more, the screen will starts getting darker with some gratings on the bottom of the screen. After the angle turns to 60 degree, the screen turns black completely.

But everything else works fine, including sounds, keyboard etc.

I am new here, don’t know if anyone can see my thread. I wonder it could be some kind of screen flat cable issues? Should I try to replace the flat cable myself ? (The only thing I did like this is I replaced my android phone’s camera)

Hey I have the exact same issue, I’m not sure what to do. A new display is very expensive for me as a student, so I would just want to know what did you end up doing and how much it was.

Either a delaminated backlight sheet or kinked display cable

You have to replace the entire top half of the computer, this thing is not repairable down to the details.

Save yourself time and effort and let Apple handle this one. This machine is not meant to be repaired by amateurs.

Thanks Aaron Cooke, my MBP is already over warranty, so I am considering to replace the top half myself (Apple charges about $600 for this...). I read some guides here and found someone did it successfully.

I've done one and it is difficult. The guide says it is moderate but my bet is he never put it back together! The T3 screws and getting the airport cable back in are tough, but it can be done.
