Hello ZXTV,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding your MacBook Pro has backlight but the screen remains black. I can definitely see how this could be concerning. I'm happy to help.

If you haven't already, disconnect external devices and reset the System Management Controller (SMC). Use the information and steps in the link below:

If the issue persists, use the steps in the following link to reset NVRAM

Let us know the results. Please include any additional steps you may have tried.

Have a great day!
