Extremely Blurry and dark Screen M2 MacBook Pro 16


I've been using this machine for 1,5 years and everything was OK but today I open it up and the screen was extremely blurry and black. All the options like reset, restart, etc didn't help. The laptop is fully functional I still can use it, but only with external monitor. Looking for other forums it seems like this issue has been going on for a while and still unsolved. Does anyone have any suggestions others than go to Apple Store and pay them $1000 more to fix that?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.2

Thanks for your prompt feedback. I just went to Apple Store did diagnostic and they offered me screen replacement for free because laptop is still under warranty. All should be good within 24h.
p.s still very Curious about the reason which caused this problem

Good computing icedance777— thanks for the corroboration.


Reason luck of the draw(?)—Apple ships ~57,000 MacBook Pros every day, electronic failures do not need a reason.
