It&rsquo;s still possible to use it, which can be done by connecting an additional display or specific remote applications. Let&rsquo;s talk about several ways how to use MacBook with a broken screen.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-connect-external-screen-to-your-mac\">1. Connect External Screen to Your Mac<\/h3><p><strong>Here is what to do to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT202351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>connect an external screen<\/strong><\/a><strong> to you your MacBook with a broken screen:<\/strong><\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Determine which Apple adapter and cable (see instructions below) you&rsquo;ll need to connect your Mac &gt; connect the screen to your Mac.<\/li><li>Open <strong>System Preferences<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Displays<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Click the <strong>Arrangement <\/strong>tab.<\/li><li>Don&rsquo;t select the <strong>Mirror Image<\/strong> check box (unless you want the second screen to display the same content as the original screen).<\/li><li>You will see a white bar at the top of the screen &gt; drag this bar to the screen you want to make the primary.<\/li><\/ol><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image1-2.png\" alt=\"System Preferences &gt; Displays &gt; Arrangement\" class=\"wp-image-112149 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image1-2.png 822w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image1-2-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image1-2-768x572.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><figcaption><em>System Preferences &gt; Displays &gt; Arrangement<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Cable Do You Need to Connect Mac And Display?<\/h4><p>It should be simple, but since Apple has changed ports on Macs over the years, it can be hard to figure out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/mac\/accessories\/power-cables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">which connectors<\/a> you need to connect a monitor to your Mac. That&rsquo;s even before you examine the ports on the back or display to figure out which connector is required.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>USB-C to HDMI<\/strong>: The Apple USB-C Multi-Port Digital AV Adapter lets you connect a Mac with Thunderbolt 3 to an HDMI display.<\/li><li><strong>USB-C to VGA<\/strong>: The Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter lets you connect to a VGA display or projector. It&rsquo;s an analog connector and does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content, for example, HD movies.<\/li><li><strong>Mini Display Port to VGA<\/strong>: You can use the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect a Mac with Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt ports to an external display or projector that uses VGA.<\/li><li><strong>Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter<\/strong>: You can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect a Thunderbolt display to a new Mac.<\/li><li><strong>The Thunderbolt 3 Dock<\/strong>: connects your MacBook to a docking station with various connections, including one or more HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA ports, using a single cable. It will also contain more USB connections, including a Gigabit Ethernet port for wired Internet access and other connectors.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Connect via Screen Sharing or VNC<\/h3><p>macOS supports remote screen access over a local network, but only if <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-help\/share-the-screen-of-another-mac-mh14066\/mac#:~:text=On%20the%20Mac%20you%20want,it's%20listed%20on%20the%20right).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Screen Sharing<\/a> is enabled in the Sharing preference pane. <strong>In this scenario, take the following steps:<\/strong><\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Turn on the Mac.<\/li><li>On another Mac (on the same network), go to the <strong>Finder <\/strong>and look if you see your Mac&rsquo;s name in the <strong>Locations <\/strong>section.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If yes, choose the Mac option. Is the <strong>Share Screen<\/strong> icon visible in the Finder window&rsquo;s upper-right corner?<\/li><li>If so, click it and enter your account information into the <strong>Screen Sharing<\/strong> app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If everything is done correctly, you should be able to log in.<\/li><\/ol><p>You can use the default VNC screen-sharing software from any computer connected to the network remotely. You&rsquo;ll need to activate Screen Sharing and create a password for VNC viewers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use Target Disk Mode<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-help\/transfer-files-mac-computers-target-disk-mode-mchlp1443\/mac#:~:text=On%20the%20Mac%20you%20want,then%20click%20Target%20Disk%20Mode.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Target Disk Mode<\/a> may come in handy if everything else fails.
