Starlink hacking and fixing.
Born and raised in Crimea, Ukraine. Currently in Kyiv.
Well, almost two years later, and the display is broken again. The same symptoms. Just died overnight. Matrix/cable issue.
Last time, the whole lid assembly was repaired under warranty. This time the warranty is over.
The new display costs $760 in Ukraine; delivery time is 2-6 weeks (logistics is a little bit struggling these days).
Not a huge deal since it's works perfectly with an external display and I have 4 other computers to work, but still a bummer.
The elegance and subtlety of the devices kill them.
Brand new MacBook Pro M3. The display suddenly died just after 5 months of careful usage.
HDMI output is functioning correctly, so it seems something happened to the matrix (the best case) or LVDS transceiver (the worst case).
