Macbook pro screen blacks out
I just bought my first Mac. I have noticed since I received it a couple weeks ago, that the screen blacks out occasionally. I am pretty sure this mostly happens when I am in Safari. Any ideas why? This will happen with my ipad 1 every once in a while too. It will black out and revery back to the home screen.
You should take it into the store as it certainly could be a hardware problem. In my case, however, i didn't notice it when I was on Lion, noticed it on ML, and then haven't seen this problem again since downgrading to Lion.
Since your problem is intermittent, it might be hard to produce at the store. So, you might want to try to capture it on video before you go to the store so you have something you can show them.

Macbook Pro screen blacks out keys stay lit
The gist of it is in the subject
Pretty much without warning, does not have a preference for type of application being ran, the screen will completely black out. If sound is being play it either stops or begins to skip. The keys stay lit. The only way to bring it back is a hard restart.

Macbook pro screen blacks out for few seconds?
Hey
Since around 2 weeks I am facing a problem with the screen, it blacks out for few seconds in a random time and then it become normal. I have Mountain Lion since more than 6 months and always it was working fine but the last 2 weeks I faced this problem so how can I solve it?
tyWhich model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g. "15" late 2011")?

My macbook pro keeps blacking out
My 13" macbook pro keeps blacking out when I'm using it and the only thing on my screen is the cursor, could you please tell me how to resolve this problem?
Go step by step and test.
1. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own"
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

Black vertical bar with lines on Macbook pro screen Appeared out of nowhere
I was working on my computer late at night. Like always.
I went to bed, and left the computer on in it's screen saver , as I always do.
When I woke up I had a black vertical bar on the screen about 1 1/2 inch thick with some flickering lines next to it.
here is what it looks like: http://www.talkcitee.com/ourspaceimages//2coolcode/2coolcode.jpg
I don't believe this to be a memory problem, I can take snapshots of the full screen, and I can hook up an external monitor with no problem. Also restarded PRAM plenty of times, etc.
But this black bar appeared out of nowhere. As if one way my screen decided it was going to blow out on me out of nowhere. I've had this MacBook for 2 years.
Question is, do you think the problem is:
a) the screen
b) connection / short problem to the screen inside the macbook
I hope it's B , because they told me it would cost $800 to replace the screen which is stupid cus I can get a new macbook pro for less than that.
I think there is a connectivity problem with the hardware , possibly a short, or something messed up with the wires or pins that link to the screen.
I noticed after repeatedly opening and closing the macbook, there were some changes in the small flickering lines next the big bar, and some of them turned solid black.
Has this happened to anybody else before?
Message was edited by: Uhuru83Usually what happens is that over time the cable comes loose from the back. This happens because the enclosure within the hinge housing is quite tight and the LVDS cable has little room to move around. Because of the frequent opening and closing on the lid, the cable starts to move out of place try opening and closing it a few times and push it back very gently. You might see the line disappear or decrease slightly.

Macbook Pro screen blacks/colours out when laptop is moved
Hi all,
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" running OSX 10.8.2.
In the last 24hrs or so it has begun acting very strangely. The screen has been blacking out when the computer is lifted off a surface or tilted backward to sit on it's spine. At first, it was just when it was moved to put pressure on the back left hand corner, but now it will black out when it is nudged and even with no movement at all. Additionally, the screen now not only 'blacks out' (mind you, it still appears to be backlit), but it will also black out to a specific colour. So far, my screen has been completely filled with bright pink, and then green, on two separate startups. I have had to do a forced shutdown when this happens as it becomes completely unresponsive. If I try and reboot too soon after forcing shutdown, I get intermittent beeps that are synchronised with the light on the front right hand side. When this happens, I get no Apple chime, no response from the keyboard, nothing. Have to force shutdown again and wait for a while. The beeps seem to be one to every five seconds.
My first thought was RAM or the display cable, but after replacing the custom RAM with the original RAM I got with this computer, the only difference I found was that the beeping at startup stopped with one of the custom chips out. The screen issues persist.
Moving the display angle of the Macbook Pro does nothing to return the display. Keyboard stops functioning. I've tried booting into Recovery, but often this hasn't worked. I've reset PRAM and SMC but have not noticed any difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciatedIt sounds like a defective Mac. I would see what the Genius Bar says.

Macbook Pro Retina blacks out for a few seconds at a time
I have a new (2-3 weeks) Macbook Pro 13" retina display. A few times since I've had it, the screen went black for about 10 seconds and then came back. Any idea what's up with this? Is this something to return the machine for, or is a software issue? Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks!

Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" Blacks Out Without Warning
Quick Summary of Problem: My MacBook Pro is currently shutting down without warning. It would be more accurate to say that the screen goes blank but the machine remains on as can be heard by the fan. Nothing resolves it without powering down and restarting. It has occurred when attached to a power source or via the battery.
My machine specs: Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15” with 500GB hard drive, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics/nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB, anti-glare 15” screen with max resolution 1680 x 1050). Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 2013-001 Security Patch installed.
I have AppleCare which commenced when I first bought the machine in July 2010.
System Profiler says my battery condition is ‘Normal’. Cycle count: 610.
Detailed Summary of Problem: Back in January, my MacBook Pro shut down several times without warning. Each time, I was creating selections on high resolution imagery in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Not long after, I saw the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ relased on Feb 12 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633) and installed it via Software Update. By coincidence or not, my MBP behaved much better afterwards and the seemingly random blank screens requiring a restart disappeared.
But then I installed the ‘Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)’(http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642) via Software Update and that’s the only thing I can really remember changing to my system. Since then, the black-outs have reappeared. As before, I was usually using Photoshop and working with high resolution imagery. However, one time the machine blacked-out, I was simply doing a two-finger scroll on the built-in trackpad whilst in Chrome (Version 25.0.1364.172).
The blackout has occurred twice now not being connected to power, and twice with it being connected to a wall socket. Needless to say, I lost work in Photoshop (even though I’ve begun to save more regularly) and now it feels like it’s a ticking time bomb and I don’t know when it’s going to go off.
One thing I’ve found rather odd is that in the crash log, the kernal version doesn’t seem right for Snow Leopard:
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386
System model name: MacBookPro6,2 (Mac-F22586C8)
The full crash log can be found at the bottom of this post.
Fixes I’ve tried:
1) Resetting the NV-RAM has done nothing. (was suggested
2) I’ve tried reinstalling the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ by downloading the manual installer from Apple, however it now says ‘Alert: This software is not supported on your system’ which in a way makes sense given I’d already applied the firmware update, but a more accurate message along the lines of ‘This firmware update has already been installed’ would be more reassuring.
3) If all else fails, I could resort to copying over a backup I created with Carbon Copy Cloner, which was done before I reinstalled the 2013-001 Security Update for Snow Leopard. But that’s a bit of a headache too, because my documents I’ve updated since the backup will be out of sync. Another reason this isn’t a great solution is that I can’t take advantage of the 2013-001 security update, nor future ones.
Any suggestions? There’s probably no good time for something like this to happen, but this is a particularly bad time – I’m currently beginning design and finished art freelancing and brushing up on some applications I haven’t used in years. Nor am I going to make an impression meeting with recruiters without my folio being presented from my MBP.
I’ve already booked a Genius appointment 2.5 days from now, but all help and ideas greatly appreciated!

However, the issue described by TS4088 is not a soldering problem. It is a Latent Defect -- a flaw built into certain batches of those chips from the day they were packaged and installed.
If your Mac fails the VST test used to detect this Latent Defect, re-flowing the solder is likely to have NO EFFECT on its performance -- the solution is the remove the defective chip and replace with a good one.
There certainly can be problems in these and other Macs where a re-flow would be beneficial. But I caution Readers not to generalize your solution to Macs that are known to fail VST. Re-flow alone will not solve the Latent Defect problem. -
MacBook pro screen black on startup
I have a 2007 MacBook pro. When I went to open it, the screen came up black. I held down the power button to turn it off to restart it. When I pressed the button to turn it back on, the internal components began (I could hear them) but the screen stayed black and there was no startup sound. I did some research and performed the SMC reset as well as the PRAM reset (I believe that is their names). Now when I turn on the computer, the startup sound works but the screen remains black. I have tried adjusting the brightness and holding a light to the screen but see nothing. What else can I try? I am far out of warranty and think it might just be the end of this laptops life so if I'd prefer not to spend money on apple support for them to tell me it needs to be replaced. Also, the nearest apple store is two hours away so it may be difficult for me to take it in to get looked at. Any input or suggestions are appreciated.
nboyenga,
are you able to connect an external monitor, to eliminate the possibility of its graphics card having died? -
Macbook Pro randomly blacks out
My macbook pro 13' mid 2011 model had recently (past month) experienced some screen suddenly blacking out issue (it goes to sleep randomly). I searched the forum and apple's support center, and they only address the issue for 15' 2010 model, does anyone else have the same problem, and what can I do other than brining my computer back to the Apple Store?
Below find the article from Apple support site. It may apply in this situation.

May be you should take the computer to the Apple store.

Early 2008 MacBook Pro screen black wont wake up from sleep won't restart
A few months ago my screen would flicker and freeze every so often. It hasn't done so in a while.
Today, I was working, and it was working fine. I shut it (in sleep mode), and a few hours later I went to open it and work again and the screen wouldn't come on, and from what I can hear wont come back on. I've held the power button down and the sleep light will go off, but if I hold it down again, you can hear the computer do something, but does not chime as if it were starting up. The battery is fully charged, I've taken it out, let it rest, and put it back in, and its still not working. Twice now I've held the power button down and all I get is this deep loud buzzed beep.
Any ideas what this could be???MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues

I have a MacBook Pro running mavericks. Sometimes the screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus, software issue, water damage, etc? An error message usually appears after being restarted. It does it all the time please help.
No Virus. You have a Hardware Problem. 3 Beeps means a RAM problem. You could try Reseating the RAM is its sockets.
But that wouldn't necessarily cause the screen to Glitch Out, as you say. -
MacBook Pro screen black with cruiser
I turned on my MacBook Pro today to find it starts up all normal then it just goes to a black screen with the mouse cruiser... I've tried shutting it down and turning it back on a couple of times but it just does the same it was fine last night when I was using it. Also the brightness goes up and down and it makes noises when I press most of the keys /: please help
Hello Olivepal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your computer is not booting like normal. I'd like you to do the two processes below, first starting with the SMC reset, followed by resetting the NVRAM.

MacBook Pro randomly blacks out and have to shut down
My MacBook Pro's screen will go black randomly and the keyboard is still lit but the only way to bring the screen back is to power it down via the power button. It happens all the time and I don't know what is wrong with it!

Macbook pro running 10.8 boots but display is black
Only the people looking at your machine will be able to tell you whether it needs to be kept for repair.
At the Genius Bar, explain that your hard drive isn't backed up and you're worried about your data if the machine needs to be kept or sent out for repair. Ask whether you can take the drive home with you instead of sending it along in the machine, or whether the store can back it up for you before doing anything else to the machine. If the answer is no to both questions, take the whole machine back home, remove the drive, copy it to another drive or replace it with a new one, and then take the machine back to the store for repair.
