Chosen Solution
I’m asking for a friend. He put some pressure on the screen when something was under it and the screen is now black. However the backlight works and the machine works on an external monitor. The glass is has a hairline crack, but isn’t shattered.
The screen needs to be replaced. These screens go for about $440 USD (part only) average.
We do not have a guide for replacing the display on the 15” model but the guide for doing the 13” will work just fine. The guide is marked as Moderate Difficulty but I found it to be difficult. While taking it apart is not that hard, putting it back together is. The T3 screws were tough for me.
