How do I get my screen to return to normal, it’s pitch black unless I hold a flashlight up to it, the brightness is maxed out but the screen still appears to be black unless I look at it at an angle and hold a flash light up to it
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
More than likely, the above may not resolve the issue because I believe that, based on your findings, your backlight to the display panel is out. Often this happens from a failed IC (Inverter Chip) or a damaged Display Panel Ribbon or a failed fuse link. Any of those can cause the backlit panel to fail. Questions - Did you happen to accidentally drop or bang the MacBook Air? Is the lid opening and closing feel normal to you? Finally, any chance that your MacBook Air may have had some water/liquid damage?
If recommendations 1 and 2 do not work then the next step is to have your MacBook Air examined and if the repair centers are close then please contact ➔ Apple Support
