Symptoms

  • No image on LCD

Solution

  • Check the LCD cable and the connector on both the screen side and the logic board side.
    • The backlight power line is right next to the eDP data line for the image.
    • Any minor corrosion here results in 30 volts or more going to the displayport mux, U9850.
      • U9850 is what the dedicated GPU and the CPU's integrated GPU go to before it goes to the screen.
      • Unlike the 13" machine where the backlight voltage destroys the CPU, here it destroys a cheap chip.
        • Replace U9850, and the screen cable, and the connector(on the screen side and the logic board side) and it will usually be fine.
