[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1061612, member: 46727"] The backlight may have failed or it could be the inverter board. But it's likely either the backlight or cable to the backlight from the inverter. Changing a backlight is not an easy task on any computer display and usually it's better to just replace the entire display assembly which includes the backlight. You can get an idea of cost and how to change out the display yourself by going to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. Look up your model MBP and find the step by step instructions for swapping the display. If your MBP is still covered by warranty (Apple care) take it on in to your local Apple store and let them repair it. Regards. [/QUOTE]
