Black Screen on MacBook, but display on external Monitor
Whenever I boot up my Macbook, it just shows a blank screen. On the external monitor I have it plugged into, it has display. Is there any fix?

@danj I think it might be the attena cables. Look at the video i’m going to show you
It seems like it’s flickering on the display
FYI. I somehow got it working by opening it halfway, then turning it on, then opening it fully.
@cipherh - Which display are we looking at here? The internal or external?
This sounds like a backlight ribbon cable issue this series encountered. The fact opening the display part way to get it to work is a common symptom. Here’s a deeper write up FlexGate here the common line is damaged not one of the three strings lines which gets you the stage light effect.

Sorry, that’s the internal. But if what the article says. Then am I screwed here?

@cipherh - If moving the angle of the lid causes the screen to wink on/off proves it. Sorry for the bad news, you might find a used display that’s cheaper.
If your set, don’t forget to score the answer and accept the answer, thanks!
