You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. I bought a brand new Macbook Pro back in 2019 (Touch Bar/6-core i7 2.6GHz/16GB/256GB SSD/Radeon Pro 555X w 4GB).

While browsing the internet in 2022, it shut down and wouldn't start. However, since it was not my main computer, I didn't bother with it until now.

I took the computer to an authorised Apple service for a diagnostic and a quote. And, to my surprise it came back with the following issues:

Motherboard - to be replaced (not surprised)

Battery - to be replaced (not surprised)

Display - to be replaced. (why?)

While I get the idea for the first two - the computer sat unused and I suspect a problem with the motherboard was initially to blame, the battery lost its properties, I don't understand the display part. What kind of issue could affect the display?

At this point I'm wondering if I should take it to a different service for a new diagnosis?
