Hi Community, Will this machine work without a screen? I recently bought at 12" MacBook (2016) for very cheap off eBay. The idea was to create a screenless “slab top” connected with USBC/Screen Duet to my iPad. Or airplay to the TV. As purchased the unit was working well… However, I watched a Youtube tutorial and proceed to remove the screen. This was my first time working on a MacBook. I thought everything went smooth but when I put it back together (Screenless) and turned… no power. No start up noise. Is it possible to pull this off? If so please help!
Matus & @hellomacos Sadly SMC services prevents using MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro’s from working properly without a screen. SMC receives temp for both the display and the camera which without the display assembly will cause SMC to ramp up the fans RPM’s (in the case of the Air’s and Pro’s) as well as lower the CPU’s clocking.
