i have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro, everything in it runs perfectly fine, everything but the backlight.. sometimes when i turn the Mac on, it works for quite a few time, but it die after 10 or 20 minutes and doesnt come back, i know its only the backlight cause if i put a flashlight in the Apple logo in the back, i can see the content in the screen.
One important detail, is that the backlight works for hours if i let the Mac rest for 2 or 3 weeks and try to use it with the AC conected, which is very strange, the backlight still dies after this time, but why it works for so much time when it rests for weeks?
Someone have any solution or have/had a similiar problem? i really wish i could fix my Macbook
