MBA 13' purchased in Oct. 2011 screen went black. What can I do to restore it?

I purchased my MBA 13' roughly a month ago. Today I turned it on and the screen began to flicker until it went black. Now I can only see the icons with a flashlight and I can use the MBA with another monitor. What can I do to restore the screen?

This may help

As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

  • My ipod is on you can here the sounds and everything but the screen stays black, what can i do?

    for days my ipod 4g screen has stayed black and i plug in the charger i can hear the sound just cant see the image it just stays black what can i do? is ti broken? what part needs to be fixed?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IPhone 4s screen is black, what can I do?

    My iPhone 4s has been acting weird, now the screen is black.  Yes, it is fully charged.  What can I do?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

    How can i fix my iphone 4s?

    Hey Tink2010!
    I have an article here for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

    Try resetting your iPhone by holding the sleep button and the Home button until you see the Apple logo.

    The following is how to do a proper reset of an iDevice:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Screen went black, restarted to 0:01 on 01/01/01 and keychain access lost

    I just had my screen go black and the computer shut down completely. Upon restart after pressing the power button, it powered to 0:01 on 01/01/01 and lost keychain access (WiFi). I restarted it a second time about 5 minutes later and these were restored. However, this is the second time this has happened in less than two days. The first time was at 2am and the screen went black and I had to boot it back up with the power button after determining that it wasn't asleep (which it would have no reason to be, I had just gone to brush my teeth).
    I've noticed that both times it happened was while it was plugged in and I moved with it. I am extremely careful with my Mac (it cost an arm and leg and I've been very happy with it until now), and I handle it gently so it cannot be due to me setting it down hard. Also, it doesn't recognize the power adapter after the restarts. It's been about 20 minutes now and it still doesn't show that it is being charged nor is the adapter lit.
    The first time, the keychain access and date came to within about 15-20 minutes after the initial restart. This second time, I just restarted the computer again and all was well.
    I'm really concerned as I've only had it for four months (purchased brand new). While this is a much better crash to length-of-ownership ratio than I had with my PC's, I was thrilled that my MBP had been flawless thus far.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The other forum topics I found with this same issue all reported having to seek warranty work. I have no idea how I could be without it right now and I'm leaving for holiday in a week where I'll need it for studying and writing my dissertation.
    Thank you in advance!!

    Your AppleCare coverage is international, I'm not sure who told you it would't be covered however I'm pretty sure they were flat wrong. Call AppleCare and if you are questioned about where you bought the machine ask to speak to a supervisor, explain your situation, have all your receipts and documentation ready and you should be able to get help. At a minimum if the machine is less than a year old you have a warranty and should take it to your local Apple Store.
    As far as update ONLY install updates that specifically designed for your machine.

    Hey BlueEyedDude,
    Thanks for the question. I’m sorry to hear about your iPod nano! If you believe you have isolated the issue completely to hardware, you can learn more about servicing your device at the following link:

    If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

  • Rented movie and during playback screen went black

    After about 20 hours of error messages, I was able to download a movie rental from iTunes. After watching less than half of the movie on my iPad, first the screen froze and then the screen went black. I closed the video application and I also reset my iPad, but still the video screen remains black when I open the video application. Trying to download and watch movies on iTunes is terrible. Please help ...

    I am deployed in Iraq and have only my 1st gen iPad with me.  I purchased 4 movies via iTunes however, the internet here is very bad and there were a ton of interruptions so it took almost 4 days to complete all the downloads.  When I started watching one of my movies, it froze and the display went black.  I to tried a restart first on the video application and then on the iPad itself to no avail.  It wasn't until I reset all settings in the general tab of the systems settings did the video application start responding but if I tried to play the same move, it would do it all over again.  When I go to iTunes and do a check for downloads, nothing is there however, I believe that with all the interruptions, bits were missed in the download process and iTunes simply cannot detect it.  Also, if I do delete the movies in question, I will have to buy them again because the iPad hasn't been synced to my computer thus no transfer has taken place.  Apple either provide a workaround for re-downloading movies free of charge to iPads or refund us our money for content that you have failed to deliver.....

When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.
