Hello, I have split water over my MBP. The screen is complete black. I have attached MBP to the external monitor with a cable. It works OK. But today I have noticed that the black screen is actually working. When I play a movie, I can see the silhouette of moving images. The screen is complete black but if carefully looked I can see the moving images. It is like the screen is dimmed and the screen brightness is 1%. So what does it mean? Do I need to replace my screen? I thought the screen was dead. But what does those silhouette meaning? Cheers
It looks as if your backlight may be dead or you shorted the connector for it. When you open your macbook and look near the display connector do you notice any corrosion? If you dont then you probably would need a new screen. MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013 Display Assembly Replacement Thats the link to the guide to fix it.
