Screen replaced - Just a black screen now
Hi,
I've recently replaced the screen on my 2020 13" Macbook Air M1, replacement went all fine, the thing boots, you get the chime, keyboard is backlit.
But, the screen is black. No backlight, nothing.
I've tried resetting SMC(?), NVRAM, power cycling to no avail.
Connecting to an external display, it works as intended (Currently mirrored), the internal screen is detected as it does show in Settings > Displays.
The webcam is working as I can unfortunately see myself when I open Facetime and get a preview.
I've tried reseating the cables again and still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
I bought the display from a UK eBay seller for £200 (rip me :( ) - contacted them to see what they say but it's strange.
Edit:
Also tried increasing/decreasing screen brightness and that didn't work.
Why was it replaced? The screen suffered a hit in the top right of it and damaged it, no water damage or damage to the body/keyboard.
Also tried shining a bright torch behind the Apple logo and nada. Is that even still a thing you can do?

Hi @danj,
Replying here where I can actually attach images.
Ooh that's interesting!
I've taken a few pictures (I hope they're okay!), to me they look fine but what are your thoughts, worth a shot of me replacing this?
I promise the "goo" on some parts isn't liquid, feels more glue-y (not sticky like a soda)!

@apoorsodlol - The cables contacts look OK, but the image is a bit washed out.
My guess is this is the last hurrah other than the logic boards connector which you won’t know until you pull it to replace the cable.
Do take the time to look over the backside as you had noted some sticky stuff, I don’t see anything around the connection but it might be on the other side.

@danj,
Thanks Dan, I've got a replacement ordered so fingers are crossed, I'll let you know of the outcome.

Hi @danj,
I've had the replacement part you linked come today, removed the logic board, underside of that looked all good, nothing sticky.
Fitted the new part, put it all back.... still nothing :(.
Do you think I should try the calibration again or do you have any other ideas?
Could it be it's just half dead now and I should just use it in clamshell mode?
Also, I still don't see anything taking a flashlight to it in a dim room.

@apoorsodlol - Bummer! This truly doesn’t make sense!
We’ve gone down the display rabbit hole as far as we can now. So that only leave one more place to look which is the Hall Sensor logic! Here there is a magnet in the display that hits a spot on the uppercase to tell the logic board the lid is up as well as down. Clearly it’s stuck in the down sense state.
The sensor is part of the right speaker unit MacBook Air 13" (A2337, Late 2020) Right Speaker. So is it this side that got the worse of it when you dropped it?

Hi @danj,
It was the right side that suffered the hit! The right speaker still works.
I'm willing to try replacing this too, as what's the worse that can happen?
Is that ol' trick of running a magnet across it still doable, just to see if it could be that and would I need to run the magnet across the keyboard side on the right?
