Apple eventually offered an extended warranty for the MacBook Pro’s keyboard issues. When I boot my macbook, the backlight lights up but for about 2 seconds then shuts off right away. Hello, My macbook pro retina 15 is having a keyboard backlight issue. But if you’re a MacBook Pro owner - especially of an older device from 2016 - it might be something that you’ll want to keep an eye out for should it turn out that the problem is more widespread. Keyboard Backlight is not working properly. As of publication time, Apple hasn’t formally acknowledged the issue. The Verge has reached out to Apple for comment. It’s still too early to tell whether Apple’s new MacBook Air will have the same issues, as it has a different but similarly arranged display setup, which could put it at risk for similar problems down the line. That’s especially frustrating since older models of the MacBook Pro that had display connector problems could simply get the $6 cords ( which threaded through the hinge, instead of around it) replaced without having to get the entire screen assembly replaced.Īccording to iFixit, the issue is only affecting the 2016 era and onward MacBook Pro models, so older models should be fine. Adding to the issue is that, as iFixit notes, the cables for the modern MacBook Pros are directly integrated into the screen, meaning that if they do fail, afflicted users have to get the whole screen replaced.
