I have dropped my 2018 13” Macbook Pro to a carpet floor.
Now I can open up the lid until approximately 75 degree without any display problem. But the screen dead once the lid is opened up to further degree. I have brought to the repair store and they said it is the problem of some cables.
I’m wondering how I can fix this, by myself?
Many Thanks.

There is a set of ribbon cables which traverse between the main case to the display lid.
Sadly, these cables are not replaceable on there own, the complete display unit needs to be replaced MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Mid 2018-Mid 2019) Display Assembly and here’s the guide Reemplazo de la pantalla de la MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2018
FYI - A new screen will need calibration to set the TrueTone and camera. A used screen won’t need that.

Did they say if it was the backlight or display cables(or both)?

@andrewsawesome Thanks. They only mentioned cable, but I can't remember what cable it is. But definitely connecting the screen.

@Sheldon After opening the screen over 75 degrees, did the screen backlight go off as well?

The best test is to plug in an external display to make sure the tilting of the internal doesn't loose the GPU's signal.
An alternative test is to place a flashlight against the screen at a sharp angle to flood the screen with light when the screen is tilted so the image disappears at that point you should still see the faint image of the desktop and its icons.
That would tell you the backlight ribbon cable is damaged. But that won't fix the problem as replacing the cables in this display are really not doable.

In this case, the cheapest option would be to use the repair shop, as it sounds like they have the skills needed to replace the display cables.
