1 Dropped MacBook shows black screen.
No visual damage was found.
Mac was inside of suitcase and it was inside of a bag.
Mac boots up,I can hear the chime,but the screen is totally black,not even “light” black. Caps lock light doesn’t work.
I tried SMC,PRAM reset, didn’t work.
Reconnecting screen display by unplugging those two things didn’t work. I used this video
Reconnecting battery didn’t work.
I also tried SMC,PRAM reset while the battery was disconnected and Mac was getting energy from the charger. Didn’t work. I used that video.
What else can I do before changing the screen?I don’t want to swap screen cause it’s expensive.

@david83516 have you tried an external monitor yet? What did that show?

@oldturkey03 i don’t have functional external monitor unfortunately. Buying new one is too expensive.

@david83516 since your display is completely black, (not grey which would show that there is some response) my suspicion is the display itself.
