Help! MacBook dropped, worked for 3days, now display is blank / black
Around 4 days back, my MacBook Pro (a1502) dropped from a chair (2-feet high). Since then, it has been working properly, no issues. Yesterday, I was working on it and suddenly the display went blank / black.
- The computer is still working (startup chime, keyboard lights up etc.)
- Connected the laptop to an external monitor - the computer is full usable with an external monitor
- Tried some of the tests people have suggested: Held the apple logo against bright light - the display is Black (I don’t see any light).
- I did try Cmd R, PRAM and NVRAM setups - no luck
- I opened the back cover, and there is a cable that can be disconnected. I followed this How to Fix Dropped Macbook Pro Black Screen - no luck
Is there anything else I can try to make sure that it is not some loose connection.

Sometimes the cure someone offers is not the best ;-{
Following Kev’s video could make things worse!
While he’s on the right path of reseating the display connector he didn’t first disconnect the battery (power) which could have caused issues! Then he got distracted playing with the AirPort board before getting to the display connection. Unplugging either of these with power running could damage things!
If you review all of the guides published here its the very first thing we focus on MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Display Assembly Replacement Just doing the first six steps and then jumping to Step 11, is what I would have done.
