How do you fix a Mac backlight?

My friends’ mac had the spotlight issue on the bottom of his screen and a few minutes later the backlight went out. Wanna know if that’s something I can fix. I have the pro-tech kit and I know how to fix iPhones and Windows laptops but I’ve only ever explored a mac and not fixed one.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi Matthew!

Great question!

  1. This issue IS fixable despite what the big bitten fruit may claim.
  2. This issue will require more knowledge and tooling than a Pro-Tech kit alone. This repair will require board level diagnostics and micro-soldering to repair most likely - although it is certainly possible that replacing the display panel alone may resolve the issue.
  3. I would advise testing with a known-good display panel and then proceeding from there.

Cheers!

Joshua
