A1932 - Black screen, no startup sounds - but I think it turns on?

So we got this Air - Late 2018 A1932. Which I think turns on, the fans are sometimes spinning, and/or the logic board gets a bit warm, so I think there's some kind of activity at least.

Here is what we know so far :

  • Black screen
  • External screen not working (tried with USB C adapter with HDMI port)
  • No startup sound
  • Tried disabling some of the connections like battery, speakers, audio jack board etc - no luck
  • Different charger - no luck
  • No visible fluid damage

I don’t have much experience in these “newer” MacBooks, so could anyone suggest what I can test next? I dont have the skills to do “component” testing.

But any guidance or suggestions would be awesome!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
