Early 2008 MBP screen turns off/on (not NVidia issue)

My MBP is an early 2008 A1260 15" and the screen suddenly turns off and on. Originally I thought it was the NVidia issue but that doesn't seem to be the case because I can hook up an external monitor and get video. I took it apart to check any loose video cables on both the logic board or behind the screen itself and everything seemed intact. I even pushed everything firmly in to make sure the connections were making good contact. The backlight also lights up but without any image so the inverter is not to blame either. Then as I figure it's simply the LCD that has gone bad and i'm using my comp through the external monitor the screen suddenly turns back on and works. Later shuts off and back on. This makes me think it's a faulty cable however everything is connected properly and there were no signs of damage to the video cable.
Any suggestions as to what to check or this could be? I don't want to pay nearly $150 to replace the LCD screen if that's not it. :/

Allow me to elaborate the situation...
Taking in to Apple = $350
Purchasing a new display and replacing it myself = $150
New video cable = $30
Taking it to Apple = No.
I can fix computers on my own but I am a bit stuck on this slightly odd situation so I would greatly appreciate any replies to not include the response, "Take it in to Apple."
I appreciate the suggestion but that's not going to happen after I already took it in thinking it was the NVidia issue and there found it was a display problem.
You're right that it seems it's a component that's failing but that's why I am asking, which other components should I check? Any other similar issues? Etc.
Thank you

Early 2008 MBP screen not turning on

I have a 15 inch early 2008 MBP that the screen will not turn on. When i power on, the hard drive makes a sound that its turning on, but then nothing happens, there is just a black screen. The indication light is on, but again, nothing on the screen. I have tried pulling out the battery, resetting everything i can reset, but still nothing. Any ideas?

Hi B,
You may have the NVIDIA issue. If you have the GeForce 8600M GT GPU it is covered under the free repair program. Bring the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP for free testing. If Apple's free test confirms the issue, repair is free. Read all about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
There have been stories of, ummm, "uninformed" workers, so print out the article, familiarize yourself with it, and if you meet resistance, politely/firmly stand your ground and ask for someone higher up the food chain if need be. The GPU is part of the logic board, so "repairing" it means replacing the logic board (Some workers have tried to play word games, saying the logic board needed to be replaced so it wasn't a covered repair because it wasn't just the GPU. Grrrrrr!). Good luck!

MBP Screen Turns Off Randomly - Battery Charge/Plugged In...

Two to three times per day for the last several weeks, my 201 Macbook Pro screen will just turn off. If I am using Spotify, the audio will stutter and I'll be forced to hold down the power button and turn it off and on.
Per instructions on this site, I ran the hardware test which said one RAM slot was faulty, bought a new stick, installed it, ran the test again, no more error messages but the problem persists.
Otherwise the computer runs beautifully, no issues whatsoever. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 with 8 GB of RAM.
When it comes back on I get the following panic report:

Hello,
I've got the same problem, it seems to came from faulty memory slots, not really from faulty memory sticks.
In my case, I'm using a MacBook PRO 15" Intel I7 2,66 ghz from mid 2010 with two sticks of 4go DDR3.
At first I had error messages like yours with reboots and so on ... After some weeks it gets worst : The MacBook wouldn't reboot, it plays 3 beeps with black screen instead of starting normally.
I thought that it came from the memory sticks and replace the two sticks without any result.
Lets call the two memory slot A and B (A the higher and B the lower).
I tried to start the computer with memory stick in A : OK, some error messages and reboot by day, but starting ok.
I tried to start the computer with memory stick in B : Impossible, 3 beeps and the computer wont start.
I Have repeated this test with 4 different memory sticks, the result is always the same, B is no longer working ...
I'm very disappointed, a computer like this that brakes in two years ... I'll go to my Apple Store next week, if you're intrested I'll give you the diagnostic ... and the price of the repair ...

MBP screen turns off after opening

It happens every now and then that the display light of my MBP late 2011 turns off right after opening it and I only can get it back by hitting F1 and F2. Any ideas??
Thx

Hi ...
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Early 2011 Macbook Pro screen turns off/on

I was listening to music and doing some homework when the screen turned off and then turned back on. The computer wasn't hot at all when it happened. The music also stopped when it happened. After a few seconds it turned back on and everything went back to normal, I had sound and everything. I'm not exactly sure what happened, battery was at 87% so I'm sure it wasn't that. This is the first instance of it happening. If anyone has any advice or knows anything I could do to ensure it doesn't continue or get worse it'd be very much appreciated.

I thought it might have been an update that triggered it, but I guess not. It could be your hardware, but I would try to dianose software reasons first.... such as something else you were running that triggered a resolution change. Whats involved in "doing your homework"?

MacBook Pro (June 2010) freezing with screen turned off (not sleep)

Hi.
This issue has happened to me two times now. I recently bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch and the problem has happened when I let the computer sitting there without moving anything with its lid opened, after like 20 minutes when i'm going to use it again it has the screen turned off, the fan on and the indicator light half way on constantly but anything would respond, to use it again I have to hold down the power botton until it turns off.
It was not sleeping because I have the sleep timer set to never, what I do have on is the sleep display timer to 15 minutes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Please help!
Now I got this then of turning it back again and a 3 min loading of the OS.
What could it mean, I don't know how to read this please

External Monitor causes MBP to turn off

I got my MBP back in April. I also got a Dell 2005FPW external monitor that I hook up to my MBP when I am at my desk. My MacBook Pro gets really, really hot, just like others and apparently that is ok. I guess it is no longer a "laptop" because it is too hot for a lap. Anyway, aside from being uncomfortable, the heat usually does not cause problems. However, I have found that when I plug in my external monitor and have both screens going and have my processors maxed with some video applications my MBP will just turn off. Not sleep, or anything else, it will simply turn off. This is while it is plugged into the power so it is not a battery problem. How can I get my MBP to stop turning off, aside from not plugging it into my external monitor and running intense applications?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Do the random shutdowns happen when you don't have your MBP
connected to the external display?
I have tried to duplicate the random shutdowns without the monitor attached, but to my touch, it feels as though the MBP does not get nearly as hot as it does with the external display attached.
Do the shutdowns happen with less intensive processor
tasks?
No, it is usually when I have multiple programs open and both cpu's are near their peak.
Are you using the display cable that came with the Dell
display? Is the cable firmly seated in the display and the
MBP?
Yes, I am using the cable that came with the Dell display. Yes, firmly seated.
Have you installed any third party software that uses
kernel extensions (like a temperature monitoring program)?
No, but I have downloaded TechToolDeluxe, I have just not run it yet. Should I?
Do you hear the fans come on at any time before it shuts
down?
Not that I noticed but I was not really paying attention.
A little more background information. I originally found this problem because I would have my MBP at my desk at home, hooked up to the power supply, external keyboard/speakers/monitor. I would start a video processing application running on a long task and go to bed. I would come back and the MBP would be off. I would turn it back on and the task I had it working on would be only partially completed.
So I took it to work where I sit in an air conditioned office and have it on a glass-top desk. I tried to hammer it with tons of programs being open and video processing applications. The CPU's would run on max for hours and the MBP would get plenty hot but would not shut donw.
It is only recently that I realized that the shutdowns happened only when connected to the external monitor. So I thought that perhaps the video card for the external port was producing just enough extra heat to get the MBP to shut down. To test this I ran the same video processing application that I usually run over night, only this time I left the external monitor detached. No shut down.
Does the TechToolDeluxe program measure heat? That would help to quantify the heat levels.

My N8 turned off and not turning back on

my N8 turned off and not turning back on
phone's battery was fully charged, earlier today it turned off while i was in the middle of a call. pressed the power button and it turned on normally.
a while ago i took it out of my jacket's pocket to find it off. tried the 8 second power push, no use.
also tried the 3 button reset... no use either.
an ideas on how to solve it before i send it to nokia care?
they take a week or probably more to have it fixed !!!
help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks puasho, but nothing... nothing at all
tried pressing the power button, then holding it for 8 seconds and more
still nothing
used the hard reset... still nothing. no vibration and screen remains black, nothing at all.
i plug in the charger, still nothing
i use the USB port, light on the side doesn't light up either.
do I have a totally DEAD phone?
when going to Nokia, should i have it fixed or not settle for anything except for a brand new phone ?
note: phone is less than a month old and in a totally mint condition

Early 2008 MBP, can't install OS X

My Early 2008 MBP has a dual hard drive configuration. The stock HDD has all my documents and data on it, the SSD that used to have OS X installed had to be formatted. I tried to use Recovery Mode to reinstall OS X, but the install screen stops at the very end of the installation and says that it could not download the necessary files for the installation. I have tried installing on both of the hard drives even with previous versions of OS X only to yield the same result.

WiFi only shows when there is no Ethernet cable connected and it shows during the Boot Process so you can chose and log in to your WiFi SSID.
1) Right you more then likely bought it with Lion Pre-Installed. But the Early 2011 models originally had Snow Leopard Pre-Installed until Lion came out. Early 2011 models were released in February 2011. Lion came out in June I think and then the late 2011 models came out in October. The the Early "Mid" year 2011 models came with both version of OS X, Snow Leopard and Lion. Depending on when it was manufactured.
2) if you already downloaded and installed Lion a week, or so, ago why are you doing it again? What problem did or are you having that is making you re-install?
Whatever that problem is may be the ROOT cause of the downloading problem you are now having. Like not being able to write to the drive. A HDD failure.
Do you have an external drive laying around? If so connect that external and point the download to that drive and see if it completes and then starts the install. Back up whatever is on that external.
If the download does complete and the install starts then you know it is a problem with the internal drive.

HI! early 2008 MBP 4,1 startup or power up Failure! HELP! thks!

I have an early 2008 Macbook pro 4,1. The computer was sleeping all night, and when I pull up the screen to use it, the Mac apparently was running but no screen on it, so I try to increase or decrease de light on the screen but nothing happened, so I force it to shut down with the power bottom, then I tried to power it up, and it really does for 2 to 3 seconds, and it shut down... there is nothing at screen. What i did to troubleshoot with no results: press de power bottom for 5 seconds with no mega safe adapter and battery - press de left shift + option + command + power bottom with the megasafe adapter - I did take the HDD - took de RAM memory.
Another thing: When I took the Ram memory the MB stayed beeping like telling me that there was no memory, but it didn’t shut down. I had to shut it down myself...
Any suggestion please!? Thanks a lot!

The early 2008 MBPs had serious videocard problems which you may be experiencing. You will need to go to an Apple Store or service provider to have the MBP tested which may cost you. The problem is that the 4 year extended video card warranty has long expired for all these models so getting a free repair is not likely.
Some discussions to peruse.

Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l...
If that does not help, try a factory reset:
1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

Black screen/turns off random bootcamp windows 7

I have a imac 27" mid 2010 and i am using windows 7 x64 ultimate on bootcamp (3.3 and later 4.0) from snow leopard to lion, i have
recently upgraded my mac with mountain lion.
But after i did upgrade to mountain lion a day later my screen in bootcamp goes black/turns off. I can sometimes hear the sounds when it happens.
The black screen/turn off, is also randomly so its not happening when i do something or opening something. So after a few black-outs i started to get fustrated and i surfed the web for solutions (Option + Alt + P + R), disconnect power cord wait 10 seconds and reconnect, install/uninstall new drivers, reinstalling windows. reinstalling mountain lion and windows but the problem is stil there.
But when using mountain lion i dont have any problems everything works fine.
I think that mountain lion has changed something to the firmware or bios of the system, or changed something to bootcamp?
I really dont know, the only thing i know is i cant use windows as i normally did, and my boss isnt happy when i dont finish my work.
I really need some answers and solutions.
Thanks

Same problem occuring for me, although Windows 7 boots fine in safe mode but when booting in regular mode after the lauch screen it goes black and turns off. Funny thing is that mountain lion didn't seem to be the problem for me instead I believe windows updated it's software for me and then it started happening. Im going to try and reformat partition reinstall windows 7.
oh BTW I'm on Macbook Pro x Retina Display.

Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
thanks

Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
Cheers,
Daniel

When screen turn off, my song also turn off.

I bough ipod nano (for my watch) but during I listen music when screen turn off the song will turn off also.

Where you restore? On ipod?
Pls sync with iTune then go to summery tap
and click Restore.

If I reset back to portrait a few times sometimes it will start working and sometimes I have to reboot for it to correct. Anyone alse having this issue?

I am having the same issue. It won;t let me text in landscape - but if I turn back to portrait start typing and turn back to landscape it will allow me to continue. And I am also getting the black screen occasionally as u mentioned
