Macbook display question

>I know you're not here to provide tech support services, but now that I've acknowledged that you'll provide me with tech support anyway right?
No

restart the fucking computer

I know it's annoying and I am sageing this post so as not to bump the thread and bother people. But I am not coming here before using google and trying multiple different solutions to no avail - and I'm not looking for step-by-step instructions if it's complicated, just in the hopes that someone could point me in the right direction. Even if that is telling me to just go to a repair shop because it's a hardware problem.

Have done so, including restarting and manually resetting the NVRAM.

the screen or its connection to the mobo needs to be replaced imo

Why/how would it break all of a sudden like that?

I am sorry to bump this thread again, but can someone suggest a more appropriate place to post this, at least? Someplace more support-oriented where people are willing to help? I've gotten some good help on /g/ in past years, but I guess you guys have gotten tired of it - hard to blame you... but I hope this small piece of advice isn't too much to ask.

Jesus Christ dude:
Apple technical support
Reddit
Stackexchange
Apple forums
Did you open the MacBook up and look at the connection to the display?

Found your problem.

Thanks.

I haven't physically opened it up; I don't have the sort of weirdo star-shaped screwdriver I would need to do so.

Thanks again for the advice, I am not much of a tech guy and so in the past X number of years the only place I've ever gone for help has been /g/ (prior to this no tech support rule being officially implemented, I guess - last time I had a question I knew it was sort of rude to drop in to beg for help, but it wasn't addressed in a sticky or anything).

The thing that confuses me about it potentially being a hardware problem is that it happened out of the blue - the laptop wasn't dropped or even jostled hard. All that happened was that it was connected to a TV and then disconnected, and once it was disconnected there was no more indication that a built-in display was recognized by the system at all.

I am going to ask elsewhere and I am saging my posts itt so as not to bother people (maybe I forgot with the last one? if so, my apologies).

I just have had a lot of help from /g/ in years past, and I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction because I trust your level of knowledge. Clearly board culture has changed and become a lot less hospitable to polite questions in the past couple of years, and I understand that now. Thanks for the help those of you in this thread have provided me.

Don’t bother coming to /g/ if you have a question about computers or technology. ONLY show up if you intend to post copypasta about GNU plus Linux.

Reset the SMC and make sure there's no gunk in the HDMI port
