Display stop funtioning on my Macbook Pro

I am up a creek here. Overnight the display stopped working. I tried doing the command ,option, R-P restart process, no success. I connected an external display and it didn't work, no signal flashed on the screen. I do not have the restart restore CD with me and I am in the middle of Uganda with no teck support insight. Is there anything else I can try?
Does anyone know where I can send it for repair in this region? There is nothing listed on the Apple web page for Africa. I don't want to have to ship it back to the US as it will take for ever to get it back. Any suggestions?

Not sure about the text on screen but that sounds like they replace the standard display with a High Resolution model.
Open System Preferences and the Display section. Make sure it is toggle to Best for built in display and then change it to scaled and see wha the resolution is set to. Then toggle it back to best to Best for built in display.
As to the lines it sounds like the Logic board will need to changed.

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,

How to connect my old 20in Cinema Display to my thunderbolt new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone, I just brought a new MacBook Pro to replace a older model(brought earlier 2010), and a new thunderbolt Cinema Display. I have a old 20 inch LCD Cinema Display all the way from 2005 and brought a mini display port for my old MacBook Pro, worked just fine. However with the new Thunderbolt Display, I noticed there's another thunderbolt port behind and was thinking to connect my old Cinema Display as a secondary monitor. I've brought a thunderbolt port from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 ), but my old monitor still shows black. What did I do wrong here? Thanks!

So currently there are two displays and you expect there to be three?
Can you swap the displays just to make sure there is nothing else wrong?
That is confirm:
1) MBP -> Display A works
2) MBP -> Display B works
Then try:
MBP +-> Display A
|
+-> Display B

My iMessage and Facetime have totally stopped working on my macbook pro - im still connected to wifi and my internet is working fine...what happened???

Help! My Facetime and iMessage just totally stopped working on my MacBook Pro - my wifi is still connected and all other apps/internet are working fine. What happened??

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
          Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
          Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
          Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

The dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro

help!!the dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro mid 2010 and its amazing how much i need to use it has anyone else had this problem with keys and would they be able to fix it at the genius bar at my apple store

Well if you took it completely apart and couldn't get it to work by operating the silicone "cone" then the trace or contactor must be corroded or discontinuous. The only repair is to replace the keyboard. Sorry.

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009?

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009 (mini display port? The image passes through the mini display port to the monitor, but the connections (Firewire, USB, ethernet) do not work. Can you confirm?

I'd love to get confirmation if this is the case too. I was all ready to buy the new iMac until I found I couldn't use it as an external monitor for my DisplayPort-based MacBook Pro. And then I was all ready to buy the new display.
I really hope Apple hasn't restricted this to purely Thunderbolt-equipped Macs. I know I'll end up upgrading my MacBook at some point but I can't do so just yet, and this means I'll have to go for some third-party display, camera, speakers etc for the new Mac Mini which is crazy.

My Bose SoundLink stopped connecting to my Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2

Hi, I know this is probably to a other threads but nothing read seemed to help.
I have a Bose SoundLink and it worked just fine with my Macbook Pro for about the first 4 months. Around December it stopped connecting. I can see the device on my Mac, the Soundlink just want connect. I have no problems connecting with my iPhone.
So far I've deleted and re-paired the soundlink a couple times as well as messed with the bluetooth settings (but restored them). I don't think it is the bitrate problem others are having because it won't connect at all. Could it have something to do with the newest version of Mountain Lion?
Thanks in advance.

So... as per your suggestion I got a solution from the friendly folks at Bose. I did a system reset (as described below) and problem solved! Here is the email with a couple things to try that may be helpful to others:
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you are unable to pair your Bluetooth enabled device to the SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker, there are several issues that could be contributing to this.
First, be sure the source’s Bluetooth function is on. Many Bluetooth enabled devices have an option where the Bluetooth feature can be turned on or off. Be sure this option is set to on.
If this does not help, a system reset may restore the connection. To do this, press and hold the Mute button for ten seconds. The LED lights on the SoundLink will flash briefly. Press the Power button to turn the system back on.
If this does not help, and the SoundLink speaker has been previously paired to the Bluetooth enabled device, it should automatically reconnect when its Bluetooth function is turned on. If the SoundLink Speaker does not automatically reconnect, manually select the Bose system within the Bluetooth device list on the device (cell phone, computer, etc.).
If the Bluetooth enabled device has not been paired to the SoundLink, follow these steps to connect the two devices:
Put the SoundLink Mobile Speaker into discoverable mode. To do this, with the SoundLink speaker turned on, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker for five seconds. The Bluetooth indicator will slowly fade on and off approximately once a second. The SoundLink speaker will remain in discoverable mode for twenty minutes, or until a Bluetooth connection is completed.
To pair a Bluetooth enabled computer, the computer (or attached Bluetooth dongle) must support the A2DP or Bluetooth Stereo Profile. Refer to the computer’s owners guide for more information. If the computer or dongle meets this specification, follow these steps:
1. Refer to the computer or dongle owners guide to determine how to set it into discoverable mode.
2. Wait for Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker to appear as an available device, then select it.
3. Enter the numbers 0000 when your computer requests any of the following:
-          Passcode
-          Passkey
-          PIN code
4. Select ‘Yes” to confirm this connection, as needed (if your computer requires it). The computer should display Connecting” with the Bluetooth icon. When the connection is made, the Bluetooth icon on the SoundLink speaker will stop flashing.
5. If the audio output device on the computer does not default to the Bluetooth Adapter automatically, select the computer’s audio output device in your computer’s audio settings menu.
We also recommend that the software be updated to the latest version if this has not already been done. Please click on the following link to update the software to the current version:
