My 2017 MacBook Air screen is black but after charges I can see a faint apple symbol then faint language set up screen. Anybody have any ideas how to fix?

Try holding down the Fn key and tapping the F2 key to increase brightness.


If it does not bring the brightness up, then the backlight may have failed. You could need to setup a Genius Bar Appointment at an Apple Store or Authorized service provider so they can take a look at it. Click here-> Mac Repair - Official Apple Support
