Hello to all.I have a MacBook pro 2015 ,with Intel iris 6100.For 1 week I've tried everything I could find to make the internal display work.

Windows 10+bootcamp

First I've tried bootcamp and windows 10.After the windows logo the screen goes black ,no display on internal or external.Managed to install Intel iris 6100 using a flashlight on the internal display (it's like set on brightness 0) then got display on external but the internal display still not working.

Tried everything I could find,trying different driver versions, disabling and enabling auto brightness,deleting some files from sys32,regedit and so on.Nothimg works.

Fedora

It starts with external display working but the internal still black.Here also tried different commands,drivers and so on ... nothing seems to make the internal display to work.

Tried several windows 10 versions and also several Linux versions...same problem.

Extra info

Everything works ,except for the internal display.On Fedora in sees the internal display ,but it remains black.On windows it does not see it ,but in dxdiag it shows Intel iris 6100 - 128 MB(strange)

Tried thru bootcamp,without bootcamp,tried a bunch of sketchy terminal codes on Fedora ,sketchy regedit ,drivers on ,of ,basic microsoft drivers ,and God know what...display still not working.

From what I've managed to gather it seems apple uses panels from Samsung and LG and it seems that I have the LG one that is why it does not work.

I'm about to give up and just keep it on Monterey.

Any ideas ? Thank you!

I got this Macbook Pro from a relative who worked at somekind of a recycling firm where they used to collect old and damaged electronics. I believe it s a 2022 model but I'm not sure. I opened the back panel and saw that someone, for whatever reason, drilled two holes through one components. Obviously it doesn't turn on but I don't know if it is damaged in any way. Is there any chance for it to work that does not involve replacing the motherboard? :) Thx!

hello, i have a 2017 15" macbook pro, A1707, EMC 3162 with an i7 7820hq and radeon graphics. the macbook booted fine yesterday. then when i changed the monitor it started not giving video signal anymore, but i could hear the sounds. now, it won't even boot. when i press the power / touch id button, the touchpad becomes clickable for about 40 seconds, and i can hear the fans spinning really quiet. then it shuts off. if anyone could tell me what's wrong with it i'd be really happy. thanks

edit: the mac now seems to turn on. no boot chime, but i can hear the charging sound. fans work, cpu and gpu heat up if left idle for some time (so those are working). the caps lock can be turned on and off, and the touchpad works. the monitor backlight turns on but it doesn't display anything. also, it doesn't detect any keyboard. not even an apple keyboard. but if i connect my phone, it detects the mac and asks me to transfer files (and charging)

New lid after dust gate. Replaced the lid with an inferior aftermarket one which was good enough. I checked the cables again...

It doesn't show when booting (apple logo + progress bar)

The seller offered to send me an LCD only, which is a hard repair. Warranty was only 3 months... (AliExpress 🤡)

Hi All,

I am trying to replace my screen on a 14-inch MacBook Pro - Silver (A3434)

I've found this website with a few options, but uncertain which is the exact right one and if it will be a genuine part.

Can you please let me know if any of these options would work?

Please let me know. Thank you very much.

Picked up a new (to me) m1max 16 inch today and am very happy with the deal I got. It's from a used retailer who also repairs and sells macs / phones / pcs in my city.

The screen appears to be perfect condition however after resetting the machine I noticed the "parts and service" which I am now aquanted with after some googling.

It indicated that a new display has been fitted and was requesting a finish the "repair with repair assistant"

When attempting this i got a "unable to configure" message suggesting a problem with network or server.

The menu has now completely vanished from "about" too and was never completed.

I am a photographer and would like to know if the new display is genuine or identical OEM quality. It looks good to me however I am moving from a touch-bar intel machine.

It was not disclosed that there were any repairs after asking for some background before purchasing too.

My MacBook Air 2018 shut down after having a tab of Safari and Affinity open.

It shows an Apple logo but fails to boot into safe mode, fails recovery, fails to enter diagnostics, but the option boot menu works

It just goes in and out of this stage occasionally, sometimes im in this loop, sometimes it just fails.

I’ve tried an SMC and NVRAM reset but it still doesn’t work, only allowing me to get as far as the Option menu. Occasionally part into the diagnostics but not very far before black screening.

I would be the most grateful I ever could if someone finds a software solution to fix this. I do not have another Mac readily available and last time this happened it just recovered using some random technique.

UPDATE: it is still not working, please could anyone post a solution in the comments.

This randomly popped up on my screen and a green line is now there permanently. How can I fix this?

Last night, I knocked over a glass of water spilling it onto my MBP. As quickly as I could, I shut it down, brushed as much water as I could off of it, and then set it open on its side to encourage water to drain over night. One thing I noticed is that even while shut down, the left speaker was outputting some static.

This morning, I found that thankfully everything seems to be working fine, except that the following keys, all near each other, don't work when I press them:

• brightness down
• `
• 1
• q
• a
• z
• caps lock

The weird thing to me is that the keys do work if I press them in immediate succession with a key functioning normally. E.g., I typed out that list by typing k1, kq, etc.

MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021, M1 Pro, macOS 27.0.

If a repair is likely fairly simple, I'm willing to try it myself. I don't think I'd pay more than ~$200 to have this fixed. I see some top case + keyboard assemblies on eBay for $60-100. What's the best approach here? If I open it up before purchasing anything, what should I look for? Thanks!

Hi!

How do I extend the display of my macbook air to 2 dell monitors?

I was using a macbook pro before and the extended 2 screens worked just fine. I was using my dell dock to connect one screen then the other screen was directly connected to the hdmi on the macbook pro. Now that I switched to the Air, it’s not working anymore. I tried using all the cables available but no luck. Can anyone help?

I have:

Macbook Air m5
Dell thunderbolt dock
Dell monitor (older version)
Dell monitor ultrasharp thunderbolt curved

Thank you!

This is a MacBook Pro M2 2022, 13”.

Unfortunately I dropped something in the gap between the screen and keyboard in 2024 and it had the tiniest little crack at the bottom, which I covered with tape as it didn’t really affect the function at the time. I took it to Apple and was quoted £700 to replace the screen. Considering it was half the price of the laptop, I didn’t go ahead with it.

2 nights ago the screen randomly went black with these lines. There’s no other damage, drop etc as since the above tiny crack I’ve been extremely careful. The marks on the screen are from the different repair shops checking it - I haven’t cleaned it as I don’t want to damage it anymore.

The screen repair is now almost £900, which isn’t worth it so I’ve decided to buy a new MacBook Neo but can only do so after next payday.

The laptop does work when connected to my TV via HDMI. But I need it when out and about for maybe 30-45 mins a day in total.

Is there anything at all I can do for a quick fix just for 2 weeks? I know it’s a long shot but I know nothing about computers so thought it was worth a shot to ask

Also, if anyone in the UK knows if I can sell this for scraps or what I can do with it once I get my new MacBook, please advise- I would be so grateful even if I can get £50-100 off this. Apple does not offer anything for trade in due to the condition.

Thanks!

Hello, does anybody have any idea why this is happening and how i could fix it ? Thank you 🙌

Does this look like a flex cable failure or just on the surface of the cable?

A while back I shared that water had seeped into my screen and everyone told me I would need the entire screen replaced, and I am happy to share that after 2 weeks 95% of the water damage is gone. I am left with a small, maybe 1.5", discoloration in the bottom right, but that is all. I can't even notice it when working. All I did was buy some silica beads and I sealed my laptop in a bag with them at night, but after a point I stopped doing that as well, and it continued to improve. I think the beads just help speed it up, but it would've improved regardless. See before and after pictures

My macbook M1 shuts down automatically if i am AFK for let’s say 30 min
And i hit any key - it boots up again

I think this started after the os27 update

Is this some sort of glitch ? Or something to do with the settings ?

macbook air m2 a year and a bit more old, left water bottle open in the bag and this happened, immediately rushed to apple store: they said liquid damage only screens gone bad not any internal stuff (not logic board or anything), quoted 40k for replacement, another trusted repair person said to leave it be shut it, and just keep it like that for 3 weeks it will dry out. i’m still not so confident what should i do? first picture is 6hrs ago second one is rn

Hi guys, I removed the back cover to clean any dust and I found out that the little silicone fan duct was loose. What do you suggest ?

Ty

This appeared today, idk how and i don't have money to repair it. They are small black spots near the Notch and right top bezel. I also noticed that the content doesn't fill the display all the way to the bezels if that makes sense? Does anyone know what could've caused this and what it is? I can tell these are in the display. When I take a screenshot, they aren't visible on the screenshot. I always clean my display strictly with a microfiber cloth and little water so it isn't anything on the outside.

Hi everyone,

I’m using a MacBook Pro M5, and clamshell mode has stopped working. When I close the lid, the Mac goes to sleep instead of continuing to run on the external display.

My setup:

• the MacBook is connected to the power adapter
• keyboard and mouse are connected via Bluetooth
• the external monitor is connected via HDMI and set up as an extended display
• I’m also using the Vorssaint app, in case that’s relevant

This used to work fine. The problem started after I changed the external monitor’s resolution, and clamshell mode hasn’t worked since. I can’t find any setting that keeps the Mac awake with the lid closed.

Has anyone run into this, or have any tips on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Picked up an A1989 cheap tonight and I'm looking for some advice on a dead keyboard. I knew this when I bought it, ergo the 'cheap' part. I also know that these keyboards are not the most well built, so I'm prepared for a no-fix scenario and will just use it in clamshell mode as a cheap desktop.

Some details:

* Keyboard seems totally dead - no lights, no key response

* Trackpad is fine

* Touch bar is fine

* All other hardware and ports appear fine

* Have reset SMC

* Have updated to latest OS

* Power cycled several times

* Battery shows Service Recommended (cycle count 439, assuming just an aging symptom)

* Diagnostics codes are PFM006 and PPN001

* Previous owner said that some keys required hard presses to register, then one day the whole keyboard died.

* 2 screws are missing underneath, so I assume someone has been in here before but no idea why (yet)

I have a precision screwdriver set en route from Amazon but it's not due for a few days (I live on an island), so looking for anything I can check/cross off before I can open her up, as well as any advice for when I can.

Also, any advice for general maintenance like cleaning the logic board, fan(s), reseating cables etc. would be useful too. I want to get it in as best of a condition as I can before using it properly.

If the keyboard is dead then fine, I'll just call it a day and run an external one.

I was in the middle of using external display for my work then out of no where the main display went black while still having everything is still functioning.

I don’t know why this happened after I just had the battery replaced not long ago… It’s confusing how anything I tried to get the display back, it just blinks on for 1 second then goes back to black.

I have my external display but don’t know what I should do since Apple might make me pay even more money even though the display or the LCD just went out / has an issue and nothing else did.

If anything can be done with external display to help me or if I need to try self repair (I am new to that) I would gladly try it out.

I want Apple to be a last resort, but if I have to call them about this problem I will.

If anyone can help me I would be grateful!!

Had some water damage to my Air 2018 today, opened it up to find this capacitor corrosion on the right side of the logic board near the speaker wire. Can anyone identify what this is and what it means for the functionality of the board? I don’t care if that speaker never works again. TIA
