Nov 29, 2016 Hi, your retina MacBook does not have an inverter - inverters are for old A1181 MacBooks and MacBook Pros which use CCFL tubes to light up the screen, which require an AC to DC boost inverter to power the CCFL. If you have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and still have no luck, then the problem is. MacBook Pro 15' Retina Display Late 2013.
For some reason the backlight LED of my display doesn't work anymore.
I was away to get coffee and i come back and my display was black.
When i shine with a flashlight at the screen, i can see everything.
No backlight, but the screen looks OK.
So it's clear to me that the backlight is not working.
I have called Apple Support and did some things, like resetting the NVRAM.
They advised me to go to the nearest Apple repair centre (iCentre).
I have made a call to them, it cost about 750 euro's to repair.
Now is my question. Can i repair this myself, to save some money, by replacing the whole screen? Or is this a fuse problem? Or something else with the Logic Board?
Is this a good question?
