1 Display and Apple Logo not working, but works with external Display
Hello community,
I’m trying to help my Mum out with her old MacBook Air. When turning the MBA on the Display doesn’t show any kind of signal and the Apple Logo on the back isn’t glowing either.
When I’m plugging a Monitor via the DisplayPort in it, I get a signal and the Mac is usable.
Somehow the Display Assembly doesn’t get any power from the board.
I opened up the bottom and tried to find anything that could narrow my search down. Something that might’ve burned out over the years. However, I wasn’t able to find anything looking suspicious.
I will add some photos. Maybe one of you guys could help me with the problem.
thank you :)

@danj Just took the photo of the connector. Let me know if I could do anything else that would help.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Lets give this a try take a flash light and aim it into the lids logo you should see the faint image of the desktop and its icons, do you?

@danj I just checked out your profile. What a legend you are here on this forum. I hope that there has been someone before me who thanked you for the great work and effort you put into helping others here.
I tried it with the flashlight and wasn’t able to see any kind of symbols. What a smart idea you came up with, so to use it as backlight. That probably means that it’s more than just a loose cable or something easy to fix. I tried to take a photo of the result but I’m not sure if you can see enough.
