MacBook Screen Black but Still Hear Sound? Expert LCD Screen Replacement in Columbia, SC

Experiencing a black screen on your MacBook while still hearing sound can be frustrating. This issue is more common than most realize. Many Columbia, SC residents contact TravelTech about this problem, seeking fast, reliable solutions for their Apple laptops. In most cases, a failing LCD panel is the root cause, not a logic board issue.

At TravelTech, MacBook LCD replacement is one of the most requested services across Columbia, Forest Acres, West Columbia, Irmo, and Lexington.

Common Signs of MacBook LCD Damage

A completely black display despite startup sounds
Very faint images visible under bright lighting
Flickering, flashing, or colored vertical lines on the screen
Only part of the screen lighting up
Screen shutting off completely after a light drop

In most cases, the device itself is functional—the screen has simply failed internally.

Causes of MacBook LCD Failure

Light drops from desks, beds, or tables
Pressure on the screen inside backpacks or briefcases
Aging components in older MacBooks
Flex cable wear issues (common in MacBook Pros 2016–2019)

TravelTech finds that 90% of black screen issues in Columbia area MacBooks are due to LCD failure—not logic board or GPU problems.

Diagnosing MacBook Display Problems

External Monitor Test: Checking if video output appears on an external display confirms the motherboard is working.
Visual Inspection: Looking for signs like cracks, liquid damage, or screen bleeding.
Internal Diagnostic Tools: Measuring screen responses and backlight output.

When a MacBook plays sound, shows external display video, but stays black internally, the LCD almost always needs replacement.

Why Professional LCD Repair Is the Best Solution

MacBook LCD replacement is a highly technical repair requiring:

Safe disassembly without damaging sensitive flex cables
