You can buy a new one & try to replace it yourself as describe on "LCD Replacement", see "LCD Replacement step-by-step" on It does not seem like an easy thing to do though, see more on (LVDS)+Connector+-+What+to+do+now 3.b If the display itself is damaged You can buy a new display & try to replace it yourself as describe on you spilt a tiny bit of liquid on the screen & it sneaked down to the cable. Please post a comment if you do! 3.a If the data cable is damaged How do I know if the display or the data cable is damaged? That's the million dollar question, I did not find anything about this. either the LCD or the display data cable has an issue.

It may be the logic boardĪs explained on this thread: "Remember that the problem can be on the logic board and not the screen- meaning you can have a logic board that works with external monitor and not the internal screen- but to no fault of the screen.

Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.One last thing to try is resetting the NVRAM/PRAM (I read this on a post once, I don't think it will work but it cannot hurt to try): You can try pressing the screen at certain points and see if it gets restored (This won't fix anything). If both the external monitor and the Macbook pro still won't display anything, it is a software issue. If the external monitor displays the screen, then your Macbook must have the problem (It's a hardware issue).
