Macbook Pro with Cracked LCD But Still No Display Output

[@lapfix]

Disconnect to Connect 😁

[@kennyreck]

What USB-C/HDMI adapter do you recommend?

[@Guoenyi]

Used this trick on a 2018 Macbook air 13 inch so I could keep working. The screen just spontaneously cracked from the bottom left. You are a life saver!

[@greensarah18]

Thank you! I was so frustrated until you said "type in your password.' It worked! Couldn't tell it wanted that because couldn't see screen! You just saved me a TON of grief.

[@leonardohernandez9568]

Thank you Soooooo much buddy I couldnt see the screen cuz duh its cracked and I also couldnt see the external monitor but now I can because of you. Now I fixed and reinstalled MacOS Ventura for my client. 👍🏻

[@benjamindugone8118]

Thanks man, I couldn't figure out why the external monitor would turn up. Very helpful video.

[@lapfix]

Glad I could help!

[@thetrojanhorse.1320]

This was an awesome video. I’m having a problem with my screen is cracked. But I will need to watch this video half a dozen times because I feel like you need to be a tech genius in order to do this… Is there any other tape besides the one you used that I can see use? I’m very nervous to do this, but I feel like I have very little choose.

[@canceledcomedy967]

You don't need to be an expert. IT should work unless something else is wrong with your macbook :)

[@TheRomanianLad]

Thanks a lot ! Finally can get back to my logic pro

[@Cutest1TheGame]

Thanks for this! I'm in Hamburg, Germany, trying to help out a friend of mine with this problem.

[@tonyfernandes216]

Good job Buddy, I learnt something new today.🙂

[@1Domenickepps]

You are amazing! Thank you much for creating this video

[@JessicaMullins-gj5og]

Would this be the same process for a 2020 MBP with an Intel processor?

[@-Indubitably-]

Hey is there a work around for this? I don’t have the tools and need to get my things off

[@ewaste9658]

These are one of those golden tips where you spend 2 hours misdiagnosing the problem to only find out there was no board issue

[@lapfix]

With Macbooks, you never know 😁

[@celulartj]

Totally agree

[@atacanyesilada]

Computer works only when it is plugged into charge. No screen but HDMI was working. The OS's disappearance is the main issue. During an external file update, my friend severely damaged the PC. and right now, not even with an HDMI connector, there is any signal. What can we do?

[@noah.w5634]

Question Because I need some serious help. So I did all the steps, but when connected to the external display is displays nothing, the only time it displayed anything was when it low battery and did the whole lightning bolt sign. but now when connected to an external display, i mean it displays an output cuz the display backlight turns on, but theres nothing on there. Ive tried the comand R and all that. no luck. anyone know whats happening??? is the OS broken or something??

[@KH-np4bv]

Thank you for this. I was an idiot and bought MacBook Pro 15" Retina A1707 (2016-2017) model and am in need of a new screen. It powers on and the backlight comes on but has the classic no image no display just fractured lights and lines etc. Luckily I am able to Mirror the Displey onto my TV with an HDMI cable and my Dock. I say idiot because of course I buy the one that costs the most to replace the screen. The other major major irritation is how the keys started going bad on this money pit. Shame on Apple for creating such an expensive heap of junk that will cost an egregious amount of money to fix. Wrapping up my want I find it 1000% ridiculous that I have a “Laptop” but in order to use it I MUST have a Keyboard, 2nd monitor used as a Primary Display, and a Mouse. I basically have porthole Desktop using a $2500 MacBook Pro as my hard drive. So pissed. My question is, at what point is it worth repairing it vs getting an iMac or the like. Who knew the screen would cost that of a brand new Low End iMac. Thank you.

[@Tamil.o.Official]

my macknook screen damage and can i remove the screen for the convenience? and connect to external monitor

[@westwalnutrecords]

Can this be done on a macbook pro 14" M1? I am asking because the display is disconnected and completely removed. However, I always need to press command F1 to go into the external display. I want the macbook to always be on external display because if not it makes it difficult when I need to go into options startup menu etc. Thank you!

[@limbicservicesltd1798]

Hi, I am having a similar issue, when I connect to a monitor it shows up but annoyingly it is in secondary monitor mode and I cant do anything on the laptop. I have tried short cuts to put it into mirror mode but no joy. Do you have any advise? Thanks

[@leonardohernandez9568]

Did you already disconnect the screen?

[@SumitGaming-]

Update please

[@plutoguerra]

Mine has something similar. Display is not cracked but I think it failed. The weird part is when you press power button you see the apple logo, also when i put the laptop in recovery i can see the image, everything perfect. when the laptop boots in MacOS no image is shown at the display, only an external monitor work.

[@SumitGaming-]

Update please

[@vasypascu5246]

Hi, I have a cracked display. I folowed your steps but still nothing shows on the second monitor. I am using a type-C to HDMI connector to my second screen

[@dennisa.4695]

Same. Any luck?

[@GamingStreet1]

Please update

[@tre_]

Greetings, Thank you for this. It worked until i put my password in and loads, then it goes blank. The laptops runs fine the external monitor goes blank. How can i get around this? Thanks

[@Charles-oo6jm]

We are having the same issue. Put in password and it loads just fine then before it opens to my desktop it shows no external monitor connected. Not understanding why this would happen. Any help would be appreciated.

[@SumitGaming-]

​@Charles-oo6jm update please

[@tradeandsales4130]

[@lapfix]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gabaisa]

I have an A1708. I followed the video's instructions. When i turn on the computer it only displays the apple logo on the external, no loading bar and just stays there. Any suggestions?

[@tirthamin9672]

I have the same issue did you manage to figure out what's happening?

[@SumitGaming-]

​@tirthamin967ypdate2

[@pawelbizon436]

Thanks so much, this video has just saved my data and my money

[@almightyrith4881]

Followed your steps, but it did not show up on the external monitor. What could be the issue?

[@SumitGaming-]

Update please

[@siosaiafonua9286]

what happens if the macbook pro m1 screen is glitching and flickering. Would that mean replacing the display?

[@rafeiahamed2957]

Hey let me know if you found out the solution to this problem (I have it too)

[@Sailer1337]

I got an Macbook pro A2159 and it shows only the battery symbol, waht can i do?

[@lapfix]

That sign means it doesn't detect a charge on the battery. Keep it plugged in for a while. If nothing changes it can be a charging issue with the logic board or a battery issue

[@johnnypeebles2364]

I did this to my 2019 macbook pro and it still doesnt seem to be working. I bought it off fb marketplace and somehow the guy had it connected to an external monitor (he showed me in person) but i cant get it. Any solutions?

[@LeonoX97]

Hello, can you teach how convert macbook pro 2008 into external monitor?

[@sveltecouture8369]

I followed this for my MacBook Pro a1708 where screen is cracked but computer works. But once I connect to external display . I see apple symbols but it stays like this. System doesn’t complete booting . What shall I do .

[@jerodholbrook389]

[@GamingStreet1]

Update please

[@djokotriono7787]

ive got screen busted a2141 as well. the idiot me put windows to start in safe boot and forgot how safe boot will use only internal screen. which is busted. so if we disconnect the video like the one you showed it here, would it put windows safe boot in external display too?

[@kierancarter3693]

[@LOVEROCK77777]

[@Olive_Bradford]

I was doing this fix on a macbook pro (13") and the second monitor is stuck on the apple logo. I also tried to EFI boot, the menu showed up but when i tried to boot it sent me back to the apple logo, do you know why this is or amything that could help to fix it?

[@lapfix]

try a p-ram reset first, see if you can see your drive there. If not try booting to recovery mode and see if you see the SSD. I have other videos talking about this issue if you still have a problem

[@aymoc]

@@lapfix Hey lapfix, do can you list the videos? I can't seem to find any videos upon this topic and It's giving me a headache thinking about this myself. I can't really seem to find anything about it on the internet.

[@virtualcity721]

[@mattfarkas1228]

[@darwindee44]

[@Yawonacademyyy]

Hey there, will this work for a 13’ inch MacBook Pro? screen is cracked. only thing it will let me display on 2 monitor is the reset password. once I do that and reset the computer it won’t reconnect to the 2nd monitor. the keys board lights up.. the 2 times I did it in the beginning it worked.. then it stopped working. feel it has something to do with the password. when it did display onto 2 monitor the Touch Bar had 2 options. mirror or display. but now the Touch Bar shows nothing. tried using voiceover to type password in but nothing worked. I don’t wanna pay for another screen. how would I go about this?

[@lapfix]

Yes, this should work for your issue

[@josef7601]

My mac connected to the monitor for few mintues and now the screen is connected but its all black and the fan is on.. Please help me figure this out :(

[@SumitGaming-]

[@onurpelit4521]

Hello; I own a macbook pro 16 inc 2019. macbook screen cracked. I also started using it with an external monitor. One day I needed windows and I installed win 10 with bootcam. but when it started in windows it stopped displaying the external monitor. how i did i deleted mac startup and windows startup. when i run internet recovery it is loading. As the apple logo fills, it outputs the image to the internal monitor. the computer is working. When you press the shutdown button 3 times, it gives a voice command. but it does not display the image to the external screen. I also disconnected the motherboard monitor connection. but still nothing has changed. What can I do. I've been dealing with it for weeks. I tried to download offline. The internet goes straight to the rescue. please help me...

[@didi6178]
