My ex gave me her old MBP 2019 after the display broke. Instead of getting a new one, she just bought an M1. Anyway…
The mod works great actually. I’m not getting any issues with external displays as some others got. The only con is that I can’t get the KB backlight to work. At all. I’m wondering if it’s because it thinks the “lid” is shut, so it won’t come on. But I’m honestly not sure. I can’t adjust the slider in macOS…any ideas from a genius? I’ve tried everything.
This sounds like a cool project, would you mind posting some pictures? Did you cover the hinge somehow?
edit: The Verge has an article about the mod
Yeah mine looks exactly like that. I just took it apart myself after reading the article.
