Black Screen MBP

I got a 15 inch late 2007 MBP. Two days ago it didn't start up as normal. The startup sound is there as usual, the HD starts to spin and after a minute or so the back lit keyboard turns on. But the screen is completely dark --- just as if there is no power (i.e. not gray or blue or any "radiating" color).
I did one "press and hold the power button" shut down and restart. Nothing. I repeated the procedure. This time it went back to normal. Everything fine!
One day later the screen was again black. This time I couldn't repeat the trick from the first day. So i surfed the web using my iPhone and found the "reset NVRAM" trick. I tried this one and it worked! (However, I don't think that the screen went alive because of resetting the NVRAM, since the screen went alive immediately when I pressed the command-opt-p-r. Anyway I was happy it turned on).
Today, the screen was black when I tried to awake the MBP from sleep. No tricks from the two other days were working. So I tried to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) as suggested in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15996660#15996660
No luck. The screen is black, but the start up sound and the keybord light is still there.
So now I turn to you for suggestions on what to do (or not do) next.
recent changes in my system:
I did change from the original 2 GB RAM to 4 GB Corsair Value DDR2 SO-DIMM PC5300 (two matched units) two months ago.
I upgraded to Lion last friday (a little more than a week ago).
Any suggestions are appreciated!

I'm 2 months outside of the extended 4 years warranty program, so there will be no replacement or any further help from Apple.
It is not 100% that it is the GPU that is the problem but most likely it is. Since I don't want to spend "half the price of a new computer" on a replacement board myself, I think that I am forced into - baking.
I have done some research (google) on baking the motherboard in the oven, and it seems to help some people with graphics card problem, so why not give it a try?
Anyone out there with experience on baking? Any particular webpage with valuable guides/info?
Thanks!

  • 'You shut down the computer because of a problem'. Mbp constant black screen crashing, can only hard reboot each time. Please help, latest report here...

    Hi for the last few months my mbp seems to randomly crashing to black screen at seemingly unrelated times. Most frequent are after periods of sleep and sometimes when web pages such as youtube load. This crashing is getting more and more frequent and when it occurs only a hard reset with the power button has any effect. The screen goes completely black, no backlight, no keys work, the fans keep going and if there was a song/video playing it starts looping the last note/second of noise over and over until the laptop is reset. My worry is that if i take it to the apple store, it will decide not to crash on that day which would drive me insane as its been happening all the time.
    I've sent lots of 'reports' off to apple and saved numerous panic reports, here is the latest one:

    Any information on why this is happening would be so so so appreciated as losing all your work in a blink of an eye is unbelievably rage inducing.
    Thank you!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
    You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

  • Black Screen on MBP, Can hear chime and can boot from HDD via another MBP!

    Hope someone can help me here, as I'm at my wits end.
    I've got two issues, one with my MacBook Pro 17in, 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm (2008) and another with my iMac 24in. 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm (2009).
    Firstly the MBP, left work on Thursday last week, got home, powered up the MBP and got a black screen!!! Tried resetting PRAM, SMC, booting in safe mode, removing and re-installing RAM, removing battery and mains power and leaving off overnight etc etc, yet nothing happens. Benn all over the forums and have not found any solution to get my beloved MBP working on it's own. I can boot off the HDD using another MBP 15in, re-install Snow Leopard and as far as I can tell the HDD is fine, as I have run disk utility and it tells me the HDD is OK.
    I can't figure this out and it's doing my head in, as I use this laptop for business use and just can't afford to go out and buy another Mac. I should point out that this MBP never had any issues when running on Leopard, but ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I have had nothing, but trouble. I did a clean install, in fact I have done it at least twice, even erasing the HDD securely, both at 7pass and 35pass, yet I have had permissions issues regularly and on the odd occasion, I have also had the problem of the HDD not being recognised.
    The iMac is nearly the same, but the screen is working, although the iMac doesn't see the HDD no matter what way I do, again, reset PRAM, SMC, safe boot etc etc. In truth the iMac has been a lot more unreliable, but with the screen working, if I can get any solutions here, then I'll be working to work on that without the need or hassle of working via another.
    I think that the MBP is only just still under warranty, but the iMac definitely is, but I need at least one working for business use, so really only want to let Apple have one at a time to look at/repair etc.
    Ideally, as the HDD is working in the MBP, if I could get a solution to the black screen issue, then I could do without the iMac for whatever time it takes, so if there is anyone out there that can help, I'd be so grateful.
    One last thing, when I bought the iMac 24in., I also bought an iMac 20in., but I never upgraded the 20in. to Snow Leopard and to this day, it has worked flawlessly, without a single issue ever.
    Perhaps, I'm getting paranoid here, but there seems to me to be a link between the ongoing and regularly occurring problems with both Macs ant the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Why also, or is it just pure unadulterated coincidence that both the MBP and the iMac 24in have failed at pretty much the same time??!!!!
    I'm going mental here, so I hope someone out there has a better fix, then me overdosing on Prozac!!
    PS
    I'm not a mac expert, not good with a soldering iron either, but I'm capable of following good instructions.

    Concerning your imac, have you tried installing the OS on an external drive and running the iMac from that? My friend in Texas had her iMac's hard drive vanish, so we installed the OS on an external FireWire drive I happened to have and then restored her data from a recent backup. So far I haven't had time to install the drive in her iMac, so it's been running off of the external for a long time now. Perhaps you could do something like that so you could at least have the use of the iMac while your MBP is in the shop. Once you get the MBP back, you can send in the iMac.
    Be sure to report both of these to Apple and get case numbers so that you can document that the issues started while you were still under warranty--especially for the MBP that's about to go out of warranty.
    Good luck!

  • My mbp always hang (black screen but still keyboard light)(snow leopard and lion) and self hang and restart(mountain lion), How can I do? (I report problem to apple for 100 times but no reply)

    I use mbp late 2010 (MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) Serial Number: W802627ZAGZ)
    (core i7 2.66GHz. 15" 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3) and change display to highres (1920x1080)
    it has problem that the screen go blank (or black screen) but keyboard still light. seems to display driver stop working.
    I send my mbp to service but they said no problem about hdd.??? I'm not sure that they take care just only hd problem but not handle  another problem that I tell him.
    I use it and it still hang up (not it reach 100 times errors) how can I do with this problem?

    Can't recall which I used to do the dynamic repartitioning.
    I'm betting that it was originally Partitioned with Snow Leopard.
    As a test I just added a second Partition with Mountain Lion to a FireWire HD and it would not let me Install Snow Leopard from my System or Retail Disc into the Partition.

  • MBP stuck on black screen, does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have a MBP (MD311LL). it was functioning perfectly fine, when one day I went to use it and I get a black screen when it should be starting up. I can see the back light it on (the apple on the lid it lit) and the fans run for a few seconds, but nothing else is happening. I've tried different key combinations for the various resets, but nothing. I wanted to determine whether it was my screen or something more severe so I've tried logging in when the lock screen should be appearing and even put a movie in the disc drive. It just ate my movie...

    Try this:
    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
    If this doesn't help contact Apple.
    Best.

  • Black screen in Win 7 with intel HD driver display on MBP

    I'm getting black screen in Win 7. This is very weird - the only help is uninstall intel HD graphics driver (everything is fine under standard VGA windows supplied driver- MBP i7 13.3') or use external display through HDMI. Any suggestion how to fix this?

    Hi,
    i have the same issue.
    You need to restore Win7 before this installation
    and install 260.99 version of the driver.
    It seems to be the more recent one that works with Apple hardware at this time.

  • Black screen while installing 64 bit Windows 7 on early 2010 MBP.

    Hi,
    I just tried doing a clean install of Windows. After partioning the hardrive my system booted into a black screen. It does not have the blinking cursor like I see on other forums.
    I was trying to install a 64 bit Windows 7 on my MBP Early 2010.

    Forgot to mention, it is a 13". But I don't think that is relevant to this matter

  • Boot Camp MBP '11, W7 Install = Black Screen

    I'm struggling with getting Boot Camp up and running on my new MBP.
    Since it is likely relavent: I have installed an OptiBay in my MBP 15 (high end) with a secondary hard drive, with my SuperDrive connected externally via USB.
    After creating a boot camp partition, the machine reboots with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install disk in the SuperDrive. The disk reads like it's preparing to install, the white screen stays up until the disk stops being read, then the white screen turns to an active black screen as if it is going to display something, but then it just sits at a black screen for ages until I just have to turn it off because it's not going anywhere. I've tried a number of different install disks, all with this same problem.
    After an entire night of trying to get the above to work, I decided to remove the OptiBay and put the SuperDrive back in its place and try to install Boot Camp on the primary HDD. In fact after doing this I had even less success, the disk would read and the screen would stay white for a long period of time, and then the Folder w/ Question Mark image would blink on the screen as if it couldn't find what it was looking for to boot up.
    I'm at a total loss here, haven't seen anyone else with similar issues and can't for the life of me figure out what is going on here. At first I thought it was my install media, then the drive configurations, and now I just don't know. I suspect drivers but I've also seen other people post they've installed W7 without issue so it's probably not that. Any ideas?

    you could Try to disable the wrong graphics card driver:
    Run the Windows installer,
    wait, until the black screen appears, then, wait for maybe 15minutes to be safe
    shutdown the computer by holding the power key for >10sec.
    turn on the computer, press several times F8, as soon as the machine boots, until you get the windows startup menu options.
    choose safe boot
    Now windows will start, but there will be a messages that setup cannot continue in safe mode.
    Do not click continue/shutdown.
    press SHIFT-F10
    A command prompt comes up
    enter: compmgmt.msc
    then look for the device manager,
    expand the graphics card section,
    right click the graphis card, choose "disable"
    close the program
    exit the command prompt
    now click on the restart computer button
    Computer will restat, setup should continue normaly
    Finally install the apple supplied drivers.
    does that help ?

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • Black Screen on install of Windows 7 32 or 64bit on MBP Late 2008

    I have an issue installing Windows 7 32/64bit on my late 2008 MBP from a fresh Lion 10.7.1 install. Boot Camp creates a partition just fine, recognizes the Windows install disc and restarts bongs grey screen then only displays a black screen. No cursor, nothing... but if I hit esc twice the machine restarts. I have tried removing and re-creating the partition, resetting pram and repair permissions.
    Any suggestions? Is this a widespread issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)

    I am having the exact same problem. I have late 2009 MBP with Lion 10.7.1. My harddrive has a partition and everything has been smooth. When I start the installation process, the "mac sound" starts and the screen is grey. It then turns to a black screen with an underscore in the top-left corner, then just remains blank.
    We need help!

  • MBP sleeps unexpectedly, black screen shows " z z Z" I've NEVER seen before

    I found plenty of posts on Macs NOT sleeping. I have the opposite.
    About an hour ago, abruptly my screen went black except for three "Z"s in the middle, stacked lopsidedly. Seems pretty evident that it's put my MBP to sleep. I click the spacebar and return; it takes maybe 10-12 seconds to come back up (usually it's instantly when I hit it that quickly).
    I checked my Sleep and Energy Saver settings. As usual: computer NEVER sleep, display sleep at 5 minutes. As it happened several times, I wondered if it were getting that 5-minute interval somehow. I upped it to 15 minutes, and it did "z z z" again, but at something like 17-18 minutes (hadn't noted the seconds), so that seems to rule out it getting some instructions from that preference.
    The only plist I recognized as possibly involved: com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist
    Made no difference. It happened again just a few minutes after I moved that to the desktop. Does anyone have any ideas about some other plist to which this may relate?
    I can't find ANYTHING online reporting this. And as a Machead since 1986, I don't recall ever seeing this kind of sudden sleep.
    Recent installs: a week or two ago I did install a "Fireflies" screen saver, which is basically a more lively variation on Apple's "Flurry." I used it for a few days, no problem, then went back to something else. I did start it up again last night, but I had no problem then.
    Still troubleshooting, I've changed my Energy Saver to "Never" for both computer and screen. As I'm typing this, the last "Z Z Z" happened over a half-hour ago.
    And WHOA — for just a moment, right then, I saw a probably briefest-possible black screen — but it didn't continue to the "z z z."
    Has anyone ever seen this happen? Any other plists or apps to suggest?
    Thanks,
    Chuck B

    Heh, you read my mind on this. When I first started using Keynote I did deliberately pair it for only my MacBook, to PREVENT problems. Now I may undo that, because I can think of a few people with whom I might play around a little — who wouldn't mind the joke.
    Of course, if, unlike me, they already know the remote does that, they'll probably just turn around and say "CUT IT OUT ALREADY."
    Obviously you're way ahead of me on Mac stuff, so you probably already know ctrl-opt-cmd-8 as a toggle for reversing the screen colors, another funky little trick.
    Danke!

  • Boot up on early 2011 MBP, black screen?

    Hi, I've been using an early 2011 15 in MBP for the last 2 years. Been running pretty well overall, but have been noticing as of late that when booting up, insterad of displaying a grey screen and chime, I'm just getting a black screen (clearly screen has been turned on), no chime, and boot is taking longer. I've tried doing an SMC reset, and it temporarily alleviates the problem, but the next time I boot up again, I get this black screen. Anyone know what is going on?
    Thanks in advance
