Screen goes black after a few minutes when fully charged

Recently, My screen has been blacking out after a few minutes of use. I thought my battery was bad but I've only gone through 600 cycles. It should last to 1000 cycles.

MacBook Pro 15", 10.13

Blacking out or shutting down?


If you can shine a bright light through the back of the lid through the Apple and see you screen fully booted, then it is GPU/cable/cable connection/LCD/LED backlight.


If it is shutting down then ref:
