Last night I opened my black Macbook 1,1 it loaded everything and a second latter it went black. No backlight, no visible display even under high front light. I have done all the basic rests (pram, NVram, Tried safe mode, no dice.) I was able to log into my computer using back to my mac and I can see that my computer is running like normal just no display. When I check the display info in system profiler it says no display is connected. The only odd thing that my macbook is doing is the power light dose not come on and when the lid is shut it dose not dim the power light. (Have no idea if that is related)
So that being said I have 2 questions. 1) Can you think of any test I can run to confirm a dead display, or any resets I can try to get it back and 2) If I cant get the display back what do you think the best use of the laptop would be? Is there any easy way to run it with the lid closed?
Im fairly confident in my ability to fix the display myself if I have to but was wondering if you guys knew any tips or suggestions.
Thanks so much
