I have MacBook Air 2014 it was working fine in start but all of sudden screen started flickering and then went black ... though I can see with flash light that it's working fine but back light won't work I tried to do the pram and smc thing on it and tried to disconnect battery but still no luck with it can anyone tell me what else could be done to it to bring it back to life. Thanks

sounds like you need a new screen

If you bought it in Ireland call apple support and they should fix it for free

you might need to quote this to them to get warranty

I got it used and I don't have any proof of purchase ...

if its an Irish model you can still go back to apple

Same thing happened to my 2014 macbook air. Black screen but when you plugged in the charger the green light came on to say it was charging. Tried all the reset options but in the end had to bring it to an apple store and they replaced a cable inside. Luckily I was just inside my warranty when it happened though so don't know cost.

How can we check if it's Irish model ? Thanks

Durrani

But my one is out of warranty and I have heard fixing from apple is very costly

Just telling you my experience and sounds like similar issue. You're going to have to pay something I think. Try a non apple repair shop.

Durrani

Try sending it out to an external monitor to make sure it's insides are all still good.

Well honestly don't have that thunderbolt things to me it just looks like something is wrong with back lights. Coz when I put flash light on it I can see everything.

Try Teknik Repair Group, they were one of the 100 companies in the Dublin Tech Summit this year. Very cool guys, fighting also for the fair repair bill here in Ireland.
