So its been doing this for a while I have hooked it up to an external monitor and the macbooks display doesnt come up at all. I can shut the laptop and it goes to sleep and the camera works fine. There is no cracks on the screen it looks perfectly fine. The computer works well since I tested it on a monitor. Just nothing is being displayed

you have a driver issue
