Macbook Pro 13" Screen went Black - Can only see when plugged into another display! HELP!

My MacBook Pro's screen went black last night and now when it turns on it stays black. I plugged it into my tv through the mini display port and I can see everything fine on the tv but the screen on my laptop is black. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any advice that doesn't involve taking to Genius Bar??? Already tried booting in safe mode, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Need to fix this ASAP. Thanks!!

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

    new i pad 3 was working via setup then screen went black can hear it working but no picture please help

    If this is a brand new iPad - and I don't know where you can buy a brand new iPad 3, I would take it back to the store before going any further. It sound like the screen dies from what you are saying.

  • Picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! Suckss!!

    picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!!  How can I change it？？

    There's a bug with the wallpaper. One thing that helps a bit, go to the photos app, find your pic, 'send' it to be wallpaper. You have a bit more control although not all the function you're used to.
    No idea when or if Apple will fix it.

  • HT201401 screen completely black, appears on itunes when plugged, powered down but no logo

    screen completely black, appears on itunes when plugged, powered down but no logo

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!

    Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
    Any ideas??

    Sounds like a dead battery.  You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

  • Mouse only works when plugged into a specific USB port

    Hello. I'm using a HP optical mouse that connects via USB plugin.
    HP PIN: 505062-001 Rev.A
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    It only has full functionality when plugged into a specific USB port on my desktop. I can't get it to work with any other ports or chained with a HUB plugged into the port it likes. All of my other USB devices work fine with those ports and my HUBs. The red light on the bottom lights up but the mouse pointer does not respond to movement and clicking the buttons does nothing either.
    1) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the desktop hardware
    2) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the mouse hardware
    When the mouse is fully functional, it's displayed under Devices and Printers, in the Devices category as "USB OPTICAL MOUSE".
    When connected with the other ports or through a HUB, it appears as TWO entries in the Devices category:  "HID-compliant mouse" and - here's the suspicious part - "HID-compliant keyboard"
    I suspect that something's up with the driver for the mouse. Any clues, as to which driver I need? Or, is the cause of the problem something else entirely?

    Hello Tick_Noby,
    Your mouse only works in certain usb ports.
    Has the mouse ever worked in the ports?
    You can go to device manager and uninstall the fake keyboard and the mouse and restart the computer.
    It seems that the driver is not correct for the mouse.
    Also reset BIOS defaults.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load defaults.
    Press F10 to save and exit.
    When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
    If it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
    This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
    Here is a link on how to do a restore.
    Let me know how everything goes
    Have a good day.

  • How to recover music? iPod only works when plugged into wall outlet

    My iPod is probably 5 years old or so. It's been acting up for a while and I stupidly, did not back it up.
    The battery was replaced this weekend so it works when plugged into the wall. It will not power on or do anything when not plugged into the wall. When plugged into the wall charger, it can turn on and says it is charging. It can be used then but as soon as it is unplugged, it's dead.
    When it is plugged into the computer, it says "Charging. Please wait...". There isn't enough power from my laptop to power the iPod, so my computer doesn't even recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes.
    On the brightside, I have a new iPod classic waiting to be used. However, I would VERY much like to get my 90gb+ off of my old iPod first. Is there a way to do this? 
    I'm at a loss. Some of the files are on there are not anywhere else. I have a few songs by a friend who lost them on their own computer.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Bump. Is there no way to solve this?

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro crash - screen goes black

    There is a major problem with the mid 2010 Mac Book Pro's and Lion.  I suspect that it is related to the drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB video card and perhaps the i7 processor.  The crashes are random and most often occur after a mouse click then the screen suddenly goes black and a restart is forced.  There is a thread on MacRumors that describes many others with the same problem: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1182104
    The crash occurs less frequently when the power and external monitors are connected.  When the MBP is unteathered it crashes every 20 minutes.  I am really surprised and disappointed that a bug this severe made it through final testing. Looking forward to 10.7.1.

    im so glad im not the only one with this problem. at least i know its not because some careless things i unconciously did that makes my mac gone berzerg like this.
    i also encounter the exact same problem with all of you. problems started a month ago. at first it was just once in a while then it became a frequent thing especially when my battery left with 20-30%. then after i plugged in the magsafe, its okay. lately, nothing safes the mac from crashing, particularly when im running adobe and/or autocad. i thought it was software problems so i backed up my files, performed erase and install snow leopard then made an even bigger mistake by upgrading to lion. after finish upgrading, the crashings got even more often. every starting up, after i got a glimpse of login in, pufffttt, screen goes black but keyboard still on. googled it up and say reseting smc will do the trick. eeekkkk nothing! then resetting the pram. worked okay for quite some times then puufffttt, crash! ask a question on yahoo answers and got a help from lovely person to install gfsxcard-something and told to opt for integrated only. worked fine for 2 days and still went back to crashing. opened up the mac, testing each rams, reshuffling em, still got nothing. the only thing that enables me to do my work with this Majestic mac is resetting pram everytime i turn it on.
    since im living in singapore (bought this mac june'09 in melbourne,australia), there is no genius bar to be found, running a diagnostic only at any apple service cost me 120 bucks and if i have to change the logicboard, its gonna cost me ard 1000++ dollas since i dont have any applecare and my warranty expired 4mnths ago. so, i might be killing myself soon! yauuzaaaa

  • Macbook Pro's screen goes black after going to sleep and won't turn on no matter what key I press

    Hi there, I just got a new Macbook Pro, it's literally six days old. I just got some new memory installed on it and now the screen frequently stays black after it has gone to sleep for several minutes. No key will reawaken my laptop, though the small light indicating power at the bottom right hand corner of the laptop still glows, making me think the laptop is still on. Is this normal? Is there any way to remedy this?

    Read the user manual to make sure you installed the ram correctly.  Put the old ram back in.  Same issue?
    If you were not the person that installed the ram, return the computer.
    Call Apple Care. 
    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. 

  • Black screen on reboot - can only see mouse pointer

    Installed a couple new apps yesterday and on reboot, I can no longer get my login screen. The workstation boots and I hear the windows login screen sound, but all I get is a black screen which I can see my mouse cursor on when I move it. I've tried powering
    off and on a few times and still the same result. I'm unable to figure out how to get to Safe Mode in Windows 10. Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • Turn on MacBook Pro but screen still black

    So, I tried to turn on my Mac. And when I hit power button, it starts and suddenly the white screen goes off. And I'm no longer available to see my screen.
    I restart my Mac with the power button and nothing yet, screen still black. Even try safe mode but didn't work.
    Don't know if it's hardware or software issue. Help please.

    If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.  I suspect that there are hardware problems with your MBP.  Probably the display or the GPU.
