I'm really sorry about that, but unless you want to pay an additional 1000 dollars or more and get it repaired by a third party and risk getting it damaged further, I'm afraid the Apple Store is the only way to go.

  • MacBook Pro screen turns blank white when try to turn on!

    My MacBook Pro is turning on to startup screen with apple icon and loading signal, but then after a few minutes the screen just turns white. What is wrong?

    Reset the PRAM >    Resetting the PRAM
    If that doesn't help, if your Mac is running v10.7 Lion, v10.8  Mountain Lion, or v10.9 Mavericks, startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to repair the startup disk if necessary and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    For OS X prior to v10.7, insert your install disc then startup your Mac while holding down the C key. From there you can use Disk Utility to repair the disk.

  • My MacBook Pro screen turns off when I open the lid!

    This has been driving me nuts, and also apparently Apple as well.
    When my MacBook Pro is connected to a power adapter, if I close the lid it sleeps like a good little Mac. When I open the lid, the display comes on instantly. Then after about a second, it goes black. The LED backlight turns off. I can get it to come on using either of two ways: 1) touch either of the brightness buttons, or 2) remove and replace the power connector.
    Now, here is the weird part: it only seems to do it when I am logged in as me. If I login as guest, it doesn't happen. That would seem to imply it is something about my profile that causes it to happen. So I whacked ~/Library/Preferences and it still happened. So where is this particular bit of nastiness hiding?

    OK, so I think I solved my issue.  It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
    When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:

    The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service.  So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use".  When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed.  I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there.  I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
    The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem.  Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....

  • Macbook Pro screen turns various colours

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro mid 2012. It was working okay until some days ago that I noticed that, at any moment, the screen turns various colours. I attach a screenshot so you can see what happens.
    Any idea about this behaviour?
    Thanks!

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

  • MacBook Pro Screen Turns Off

    Hi,
    I had this problem since I bought my MacBook Pro 15' (Summer 2009) whenever using the 9600 card. From time to time the monitor simply turns itself off and then comes back on, sometimes after a few seconds, and sometimes after a few minutes. This happens a few times a day, and sometimes it never happens. But usually it happens during sudden temperature increases, like when waking the mac from sleep, or a short while after firing up a game.
    Just by sheer chance, I discovered today that if the screen turns itself off, then I can bring the screen back again by pressing slightly on the aluminum body somewhere above the F5 and F6 keys. Doing so while the monitor is on, can also turn it off and then back again.
    I am suspecting that there is a bad contact problem between the motherboard and the screen. Any suggestions or courses of actions are appreciated.
    Note that this never happens when using the 9400 card.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Macbook Pro screen turns black and has to be force restarted

    I have a 2010 15 inch Macbook Pro that I purchased for college and that is mainly what  I use it for! However lately (the past 3 months) my computer has been turning black with use of videos, pictures and sometimes just my broswer in general. It does not seem to have a reason or pattern but always gives me this panic report after restart. Any Ideas?

  • 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"?

  • My external monitor and MacBook Pro screen turn different colours and freeze while in use - only restarting the computer will refresh the display. Is there a way this can be fixed? It is happening more and more frequently.

    The monitor is Philips brand and works perfectly fine usually. Every now and again it will happen mid-use and I have to constantly re-start my laptop.

    The F7 key should also toggle between extended desktop and mirroring. If you open the lid on the PB, you should see that the F7 key is imprinted with two overlapping rectangles. That's supposed to represent the mirroring function and pressing the key should toggle the function (unless you had previously turned off the function keys).

  • Macbook pro screen turned black with different colored pixels after ios installation. Starting up dont seems to be a problem.

    I got hurry, my wife needs the macbook tomorrow for school. Can someonen tell me what to do? Reinstalling mountain lion  doesnt help. Reseting the PRAM and smd doesnt work either. The colored pixels are in a horizental lined pattern. When starting up the macbook everything seems to be okay untill the homescreen disappears.

  • My MacBook Pro will turn on and get to the login screen. After I login though it goes to a white screen.

    My MacBook Pro will turn on and get to the login screen. After I login though it goes to a white screen.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Translucent impromptu possible "hacker" message interrupts current session, locks MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart by holding down the power button of my LapTop to turn it off first. Any thought? Could this be another way to mess with us?

    I was listening to a YouTube video on the history of X15 rocket airplanes. All of sudden, out of the blue a translucent back message drops top down, stops the video, locks up my MacBook Pro screen and demands that I restart my lapTop by first holding down my power switch, then turn the lapTop back on. This has never happened to me before. The message was in black & white, and in about 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese. Does any one recognize what this might be?
    The Computer turned back on just fine as if nothing had Now I am freeking out that they could be reading my key strokes or something. Could they have used this tactic to install malicious software on my computer by first taking away my ability to do anything about it being that I am not a software engineer? Can any one think of anything simillar? I reported this as a bug to APPLE the regular way, then cleared my Safari cookies, then run software update which returned nothing new as in " your software is up to date at this time."
    Can any one please help?

    Hi stedman1,
    Thank you so much. This seems to make sense to me now. I was freaking out a bit that some hacker could be messing with my MacBook Pro. I will be monitoring this issue from now on as it has never happened before.

  • Yosemite: Turning off Macbook Pro screen (lid open) with external monitor connected

    Here we go again, this worked pre-Yosemite. Now it seems this trick no longer works. After following these steps again the screen on my Macbook Pro now turns on after logging in and opening the clam shell.
    Anyone figure out/know a way to turn off the screen on the Macbook Pro with external monitors plugged in? (yes, closing the clam shell–but I'm referring to keeping the clam shell open with the display turned off)
    http://gizmodo.com/5938452/a-trick-to-make-using-an-external-monitor-with-your-m acbook-way-better
    To execute in Terminal:
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
    To undo in Terminal:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Once you type it into terminal I believe you need to enter your password. I then restart my machine. Now the TRICK is to either restart your machine with the lid already closed (hit restart then slam the lid!) OR turn the machine on for the first time (then quickly slam the lid!) once you are past the login screen you can open the lid.

    Has anyone experimented with tip 2 (active corners)?  Perhaps it still works.
