Macbook Pro Screen went dark

Hi all,

My early 2015 Macbook Pro 13" is having display issues. My display will light up properly and then go completely dark within 15-30 sec. The only way I can whats happening on the screen after that is by holding my iphone flashlight a few inches away from the screen. I've made sure it wasnt a display preferences problem and made sure my battery was in good health. I've read several forums telling me to do many different combinations of holding certain keys down while powering up to no avail.


Any idea what could be causing this? I'm hoping its not a hardware issue with the display. Replacement screens cost a ton of money.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a hardware issue—take it in. Could be as simple as a cable connection issue.
