Sudden black screen on Macbook Pro.

Hi everyone,
Occasionally when using my macbook pro the screen turns black, yet the macbook appears to be still running (keyboard lighting is still on and the notebook makes its usual sounds). This happens like once a week on a random occasion, but always seems to follow an action (last time the screen went black after emptying my iPhoto trash can). To activate my macbook i always have to manually shut down and reboot.
I use a Macbook Pro purchased in 2010, with mac OS X Lion installed. This sudden black screen problem did not occur before installing Lion.
Does anyone else experience this problem? And any suggestions on solving it?
Kind regards,
Tom

I have the following failure since updating the EFI firmaware in my Macbook Pro 13" 2011:

I´ve been asking Apple for about a month to fix it under warranty but no answer so far, they say tha the error cannot be repoduced at the store so I sent the video to them, still waiting for an answer.

Black Screen on MacBook Pro Early 2008

Hey guys,
i have a problem. My MacBook Pro Early 2008 doesnt boot anymore. If i press the power button the screen remains black and the hdd spins a few seconds and you can hear the superdrive make a short noise. But nothing more happens.
I know from the nVidia 8600m GT issue and i even have the modelnumber A1260 but the apple reseller told me that if there comes no start sound , it is not that problem. My question is: is it possible that the (probably) defect 8600m gt chip on my logicboard has caused a defect of the whole logicboard ? I heard from a guy whos board was repaired for free but its PowerManagment Unit on the logicboard was defect but the Technical guy told him , that it was caused by the nvdia chip and so it was repaired for free. How can i find out if my chip was the reason for the defect ?
Iam not a native speaker and i hope you can understand what iam trying to say iam happy for every correction and help.

"How can i find out if my chip was the reason for the defect ?"
By having it examined by a certified Apple technician. If necessary, show the tech the KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues
"apple reseller told me that if there comes *no start sound* , it is not that problem."
You do not have a start sound?
Have you tried starting up from your install DVD?
If you have AppleCare, strongly suggest that you contact them first.

Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
What should I do?
Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
But there is a major difference!
-They have a black screen after they login.
-My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.

Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?

Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

Multiple kernel panics & black screen on Macbook Pro Retina early 2013

My Macbook Pro Retina (early 2013, 8GB ram, 250 GB hard drive) has been experiencing multiple kernel panics forcing rapid-fire restarts of the computer multiple times within a very short time frame. This is followed by the screen staying black even if the computer is on (keyboard lit up, can hear volume buttons) but nothing is on the screen. Once the screen goes black, I have to employ some combination of manually shutting it down (by holding down the power button) and then turning it back on (+/- doing an SMC reset) to get the screen working again. I also tried a PRAM reset once, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and I've repaired the disk permissions.
This issue has happened multiple times in the past week. It seems to vary as to how long it takes to happen again (could be a few days, could be less than an hour), and it has happened during multiple different activities (surfing the web, using Word, using Mail). I have experienced this both on Mavericks and after updating to Yosemite over the weekend.
I took it to the Apple Store on Saturday and while the Genius saw that the screen was black when I initially brought it in (even though the computer was on), we couldn't recreate the issue and the diagnostic tests he ran showed nothing. It even started back up fine for him. I thought I was OK, until I had another round of kernel panics + black screen this afternoon. At this point, doing a normal restart of the machine results in a kernel panic before it even makes it off of the loading screen and then a black screen.
This time, I checked the logs and saw the panic report included below. I don't know enough about this to understand what it means, but hopefully someone else does! Some internet searching has suggested that it might be a problem with the GPU (and the log below says GPU panic). Help, please!

Black screen on MacBook Pro running 10.6.8

Zapping PRAM, safe reboot, battery removal -- no help. Ideas? Have been using external monitor for about a year since hinge broke and ate the screen in the process. Right now external monitor does give me a "no signal" message at shutdown so I know it's working. Thanks.

Boot disk on USB Thumb drive - Augusta Maine
Apr 28, 2014 7:06 PM
I have a mid 2010 15" MBP i5 with 8 gigs of ram running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Three times in two months it crashes to black screen and the only way back it a hard (power button - off) restart. Then it works fine. I have to pay more attention as to what I was doing at the time, but in all three cases I was actively using the keyboard. I do not have any video games on this laptop. I can't say for sure, but I am thinking it happens when I execute something new, today it happened when using Chrome. I either just launched it, or more likely it crashed when I hit RETURN to initiate a search.
I captured all three error reports, the beginning of each are as follows. Any and all sggestions are appreciated. And if MAINE ISLANDER is reading this, I have a Snow Leopard bood disk on thumb drive that you can borrow if in the Augusta area.

Black screen on Macbook Pro 2014

The screen on my MacBook Pro retina 2014 stays black for 20-30 seconds (with the cursor visible) when i activate it after it has been deactivated while not using the computer for a while. Why does it stay black?

I think there isn't a real problem at 2ºC but that is a bit cold. It could affect the hardware. If the problem persists inside at room temp, them take it in for service since it is in warranty.

Upgrade to Lion Causes Black Screen On MacBook Pro

I read early discussion posts on this topic and thought by now Apple would have corrected this poblem but apparently not. I updgraded my MacBook Pro last night to Lion and since last evening I have had 5 black screen (failures) and had to power off and reboot. Is there a known correction or update to this problem? It is extremely disappointing as I need my Mac for my business and cannot afford to send it to a depot for a five day repair.
This same problem was happening to me with an older OS but ONLY when I used both PowerPoint and Parallels at the same time. For this probem I took the MacBook into the Genius Bar and had to leave it there through the weekend and all day Monday. They told me after running multiple tests they found no hardware problems and the issue had to be software. The only fix was a five day depot repair. I thought I would manage by not using PowerPoint and Parallels together but now, with the Lion Upgrade it happens with ALL apps and when I simply try to read an email. Very, Very DISAPPOINTING. COME ON APPLE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.
Go back to 10.6, the stability of your business comes first.

Black screen after MacBook Pro wakes from sleep; reason, solution?

Greetings!
I have 2 MacBook Pro machines; both are running the latest versions of OSX for their age.
The 2 GHz Core Duo is using 10.6.8 (2GB RAM) and 2.5 GHz Duo Core 2 is using the 10.7.x (4GB RAM).
Both are routinely used with external monitors. Every so often when either of the machines are put to sleep, the external monitor disconnected, and finally when the machine is woken, the native screen remains black and unlit. If the machine is connected to the external monitor, it shows its appropriate desktop but the finder bar is unavaible so nothing can be done short of forced shut down and a reboot.
Am I forgetting some simple short cuts (key-bases) to bring the native screen to life or is forced shut-down really necessary?

Black screen on macbook pro 13in 2011

A few weeks ago my screen went black while I was having a web cam chat with my wife. I was able to hook it up to my flat screen TV and it is working fine but not on my main apple disply screen. The apple icon on the back isn't lighting up and I can see shadows on my screen now after I did a PRM reset. Everything is working the way it should just not the screen. I'm living in China so my options are limited to where I can go to get it fix. I don't want anyone telling me its the mother board when I know it isn't (as I was told before along with a very high price for a new one).
Can anyone help me with a self repair option?
Thanks.

That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
But there is a major difference!
-They have a black screen after they login.
-My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
Until now, nothing!
Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

I have now updated it back to 10.6.8. The problem still exists. This doesn't seem to be limited to an OS version and seems like an issue with device driver or with hardware. I will try to take it to the Apple store and see if this gets resolved.
You too have a black screen in Windows 7. ?

Horrible sudden black screen

Hello,
My new macbook pro, which is just one year old, has a problem. I must face up to sudden black screen when I'm using it, which obliges me to restart my machine. The fact that I am on battery power or not does not matter : the problem occurs, especially when I am on the Internet and download big file.
Regards,
Philémon

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

'black' on 23" HD Cinema Display is not 'black' on my Macbook Pro 15" disp

'black' on 23" HD Cinema Display is not 'black' on my Macbook Pro 15" disp - I'll edit a photo on my desktop cause its lots faster but what looks black on the display does not look black on my laptop. I don't think its calibration because I have put both on the same color profiles and there is no difference. Would the Cinema display just not be as bright/intense as the laptop display since its older? The Cinema display looks fine and hasn't given me any problems...
Any insights?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

A0020 model of screen in Macbook Pro Retina 13' (Late 2013)

A0020 model of screen in Macbook Pro Retina 13'. Anyone know who is the manufacturer of this screen? I've tried to find it on the internet, but it's seems that nobody know. I'm worried a little bit about that, because I didn't knew about the problem with the LG displays in Mac. In case that it's LG, there is some instructions how to prevent screen degradation?

Go step by step and test.
1. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Changing the screen ? Macbook pro 2006/2008

Hi all !
I need to buy a new mac laptop, but infortunately, I can't use the LED screens (yes, I know, it's a pity - it gives me serious headaches, and no one computer builder seems to take these kinds of problem in consideration), so I can "only" think about the last generation of macs laptops without LED-backlight screens, the Macbook pro 2006/early 2007.
But I was wondering something : if I can find a later one, before the unibody generation, like the 2008 one, 15", (with a LED-baclight), and find a Macbook pro 2006 non-LED-backlight screen, 15", will it be possible to change the LED screen to the non one, and so giving to the 2008 computer a non-led technology, or will it be some incompatibilities at some points ?
Thank you for your answer,
Rergards,
T.

Thank you for your answer, but yes, I did. And even if it's not soooo fast on a anti-glare LED one, the headache come anyway after a while.
I also have used special calibration software for this kind of problem (the one with sunglasses icon). Honestly, it gives me maybe half an hour more of work before headache. But a 3 days migraina (or migraine, too late to know the right writing) for 1h30 of work on a LED-screen is not something I can handle every day.
The fact is that I have to work also at other places than home, or wandering ones. So, that's why I wonder if it's possible to change displays, and ask the wonderful Apple community. :-)
Thank you for your answer,
T.
