No display or backlit keyboard
The backlight seems to work as the screen is dimly lit but black only. The screen flashed on and off (showing the desktop) a few times but now is completely gone. The backlit keys are no longer working anymore either. Not sure if that is related or a light sensor issue since the screen isn’t coming on. Should I look at the display inverter first or start somewhere else? This is my first repairing a MacBook Pro. Only other thing I did was install RAM back when we could. Otherwise my experience is with phones, iMacs and other laptops. Thanks in advance, I appreciate any and all guidance.
Update (03/22/2022)
@danj - I found my hub, connected the tv as an external and was able to get this to show up. Nothing else on the screen and the onboard screen totally black. The trackpad and keyboard appear to still work as once I located the pointer I could move the curser and use the tab key. I chose to restart and this is what it opened right back up to.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

PS if I choose start up disk it takes me to screen and shows the Mac HD but states that it’s an “Encrypted Disk.” The option to reboot in Target Disk Mode is available.

PPS - the backlight on the MBP keyboard does not work either. Not sure if I’ve mentioned that earlier.
